Could Canada Handle Another 9/11-Level Crisis? ft. Anthony Furey
25 years after 9/11, are we actually better prepared for the next major crisis?
Anthony Furey explains why Canada's modern way of life may be more fragile than we realize.
In this episode, we break down:
- Where Paul Micucci and Anthony Furey were on September 11, 2001, and how they remember the day
- How 9/11 changed Canada's sense of security, emergency preparedness, and public safety
- Why the 2003 Northeast blackout caused fears that another major attack was underway
- Canada's electrical grid vulnerabilities and the risk of cascading power failures
- How an electromagnetic pulse, cyberattack, or extreme solar storm could disrupt critical infrastructure
- Why food distribution, water systems, fuel, communications, and transportation depend so heavily on electricity
- Whether Canadians today have fewer practical survival skills than they did 20 years ago
- Lessons from COVID-19 about emergency planning, government preparedness, and whether official plans would actually be followed
- Whether Canada is truly ready for another unexpected "black swan" event
- Hosts: Paul Micucci
