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?

- 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
