"Stress Tested: The COVID-19 Pandemic and Canadian National Security" is a book edited by Leah West, Thomas Juneau, and Amarnath Amarasingam that explores the impact of the pandemic on Canadian national security. The book examines the relationship between national security and public health, providing a critical understanding of how the Canadian intelligence and security community can improve its capabilities to respond to future public health emergencies. Divided into two parts, the book discusses the new challenges facing Canadian national security, such as conspiracy theories and cyber-attacks, and explores the responses of various government agencies to the pandemic. While some chapters provide comparisons with other countries' approaches, the book ultimately offers lessons learned and policy solutions for improving security and safeguarding the health of Canadians. However, the book's publication timing in 2021 means it only covers the first year of the pandemic, missing longer-term implications and challenges. [Extracted from the article] |
