  • Summary

  • After almost a century of post-war prosperity and unrivaled American power, we've entered a new era, growing uncertainty and realignment as many of the world's nations now seek to challenge that dominance. And the race for American dominance in the development of artificial intelligence by just a tiny handful of tech billionaires has seemed to put us all on yet an even more perilous path.


    If the world is changing at a dizzying pace, the forces driving that change are markedly different than they were a century ago.


    In this, our first season, we're going to look at the impact of China in the years ahead. We will look at China's astonishing progress in new energy technologies, battery innovation and EV production, as well as its conflict with American power over semiconductors and microchips and the geopolitical significance of Taiwan. And we will look.


    At the transformative force, for better or worse, of one single man, Xi Jinping, President of the People's Republic of China.

    New World Disorder
    Mar 25 2025

    Sandy Garossino and Vina Nadjibulla discuss the new world order that is being imposed on the world by the United States.

    There can be little doubt now that the curtain is falling on the post-World War II American-led rules-based order. The international trade, military and government agreements that have secured an unprecedented era of growth and prosperity for Canada, for the Western world, are crumbling before our eyes. While the US President is working to impose some form of settlement of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, he's openly challenging Canada and Greenland and has asked his military to reclaim the Panama Canal.

    Beyond the Headlines: The India Canada Diplomatic Storm
    Dec 3 2024

    On this week’s Mortal Giants Sandy Garossino and Vina Nadjibulla discuss the deteriorating relationship

    between Canada and India which became pubic after Prime Minister Trudeau in September 2023 accused

    India of involvement in the killing of a Canadian Sikh leader in B.C. The Indian government called the

    accusation ‘absurd’. Then both governments expelled diplomats.


    Garossino and Nadjibulla take us step-by-step through the escalating rhetoric between the two governments

    and the events that led to the RCMP holding a news conference on Thanksgiving weekend in 2024 to lay

    out their investigation that the Modi government created a network of to follow and harass and perhaps

    even orchestrate the murders of Sikh separatists in Canada.
