Briefings
Technical Briefings address the engineering substrate beneath the policy architecture. Briefing Notes document a single mechanism end to end. Special Briefings are single-issue assessments published when an exposure demands attention outside the working-paper cycle. Each line is numbered separately; see the number register.
Special Briefings
Single-issue strategic assessments, published when an exposure demands attention outside the working-paper cycle.
The Authored State
A testimony in seven exhibits, on institutions written by foreigners and defended by locals.
The Walk-Away Price
What Seoul’s right to say no is worth, and what Alaska will charge for it.
One Day, Four Names
What Tokyo, Seoul, Pyongyang and Washington each decided to call 15 August 1945. And the subject every name leaves out.
The Ledger With One Entry
Venezuelan oil revenue under United States custody: what left, what came back, and the accounting that was never published.
The Three Doors
Under U.S. defense law, Canada has been domestic since 1992. A Canadian miner's map to American federal money — one door where that counts, and two where it does not.
Zero Secrets
Canada's data already answers to American law. The new generation of military AI turns that exposure into a complete intelligence picture. Data residency is not data sovereignty.
Technical Briefings
A companion line to the Working Papers, addressing the engineering substrate beneath the policy architecture.
Running Silent
What ambient signal mapping can and cannot find. A claim-by-claim technical assessment of “passive multi-domain over-the-horizon target fusion.”
The Verified Sky
Sensing, certainty, and the law of automated airspace awareness — the state of the art, what it costs, how fast it acts, and what a Canadian operator may lawfully do with it.
Briefing Notes
The imprint’s short-form line: a single mechanism, documented end to end, in under twenty minutes of reading.
The Voter File
What every federal political party holds on every Canadian voter — and the statute that, as of March 2026, removes that file from provincial and territorial privacy law and leaves voters no right of access or correction, retroactive to the year 2000.
