In this policy brief, Michael P. A. Murphy and Tracey Forrest examine how governments and multilateral institutions can develop responsible policies for quantum science and technology. With a narrow window before disruptive technologies roll out, international collaboration and frameworks are essential to guide innovation safely and effectively.

Tariffs and Tactics
Tony Clement recently welcomed Raquel Garbers to Boom and Bust to discuss if Canada is in an economic war with China. In their conversation, Garbers discusses how hostile states use economic tools as weapons and why Canada needs a defence industrial strategy to secure its future.
In this opinion piece, Victoria Samson and Jessica West examine UN efforts on the prevention of an arms race in outer space (PAROS). Their insight highlights how procedural compromises, silences on key threats and restricted civil society participation shape current space governance, while the program of the UN open-ended working group dedicated to PAROS offers a path from cautious survival to meaningful progress.
Canada can’t afford silence on climate disinformation. In his latest op-ed, Andrew Heffernan argues that joining the new Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change is a no-cost, high-impact step to defend truth, strengthen democracy and restore Canada’s climate leadership ahead of COP30.
