Subject: The Weaponization of Food: Canada’s Strategic Blind Spot


I am looking forward to host this live event conversation.

 


 

Is Canada’s Food Supply a Global Target? (Live Event this Friday)


Canada produces food at a global scale but thinks about it like a commodity, not a weapon, not an asset, and not a system under threat.


Are we prepared for what happens next?


Join host Trent Klarenbach on The Trent Klarenbach Podcast this Friday, May 29, 2026, at 9:00 CST for a live, unfiltered discussion on global strategy and national vulnerability.

This isn't just a sector discussion; it's a look at a massive strategic failure.  We are bringing together a powerhouse panel of experts to expose the fault lines in Canada's agricultural sovereignty:


  • Professor Christian Leuprecht: Leading the charge on "Food as a Strategic Asset." A leading expert in security and defense policy, he will question whether food is now a weapon class in geopolitical conflict and expose Canada’s lack of a hard security doctrine around agriculture.


  • Dr. Sylvain Charlebois: Breaking down "Retail Fragility & Civil Stability." 


Widely known as "The Food Professor," and host of The Food Professor Podcast,he will analyze just how thin Canada's retail food margins and inventories really are, asking the hard question: How many days of disruption before grocery shelves become a political crisis?


  • Hon. Gerry Ritz: Tackling "Policy Legacy & Structural Weakness." The former Agriculture Minister will dissect the post-Canadian Wheat Board landscape to determine if deregulation increased our exposure to foreign leverage and whether Canada would be forced to re-nationalize grain flows in a crisis.


  • Jason Dearborn: Exploring "Digitization, Control, and Financialization." The Chairman and CEO of GRNX Global will look at grain as a tokenized, financeable asset. He will debate whether putting grain "on-chain" protects Canadian sovereignty or exposes it to faster external capture.


Expect a tight, confrontational debate featuring a "Crossfire Segment" where decentralized systems collide with hard security doctrines, and free market ideals clash with the need for a managed system.


Canada is either a passive exporter in a global system it doesn’t control—or it becomes an active manager of its food sovereignty. 


There is no middle ground in a conflict scenario.
