October 12, 2025 | Vincent Rigby was quoted by The Canadian Press in a report on Ottawa’s delayed update to Canada’s national security strategy. The article revealed that many of the assumptions guiding the review were deemed outdated as global conditions shifted and tensions with the United States deepened. Rigby argued that these developments highlight the need for a clear and flexible roadmap to guide policy in a more volatile world. “You need a road map,” he said, “so you know where you’re going and how to get there.” He noted that while governments have often been reluctant to produce such strategies because they can age quickly, a well-designed plan can adapt to changing realities and reaffirm Canada’s enduring alliances.
