In this two-part series, BerlinsideOut talks about Germany’s relationship with Aaron’s (other) home country of Canada, its potential role in helping to provide Germany and the rest of the democratic team with critical resources, whether both countries are underpricing Russian and Chinese threats, and how to leverage another transatlantic relationship amidst uncertain political times in the US.

In the first episode, Ben and Aaron speak to Balkan Devlen, Jonathan Berkshire Miller, and Christian Leuprecht from the MacDonald-Laurier Institute about German-Canadian relations, missed opportunities, the role each country can play on a team of democracies, and how Canada can help countries like Germany “friendshore” critically strategic sectors away from authoritarians.
In part two, Ben and Aaron chat with Anessa Kimball and Stephanie Carvin about German and Canadian assessments of Russian military threats, NATO spending, how to make more of the German-Canadian relationship, and leadership on seizing Russian assets.
