MIGS to host European Commissioner Michael McGrath

On 22 October, the Montreal Institute for Global Security will host Michael McGrath, European Union Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection, for an engaging discussion on global security and the evolving geopolitical landscape. The Commissioner will share valuable insights strengthening election integrity, supporting independent media, protect civic space, and build shared resilience against hybrid and digital threats.

As democracies around the world face mounting challenges from authoritarian states to their information integrity and civic trust, Canada and the EU share both the responsibility and the opportunity to lead by example. His visit reflects MIGS’ continued commitment to fostering dialogue between international leaders, policymakers, and experts on pressing global issues.
