His public commentary has focused especially on Russia, Central and Eastern Europe, information warfare, authoritarian influence operations, sanctions policy, and human rights accountability.[2]

In 2020, Kolga founded DisinfoWatch, a Canadian initiative that monitors and analyzes foreign disinformation targeting Canada.[2] In a 2023 interview with Toronto Life, Kolga discussed research on pro-Russian social media accounts and foreign influence operations targeting Canadian audiences, including narratives related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.[2]

Magnitsky sanctions advocacy

[edit]

Kolga was involved in Canadian civil society advocacy for Magnitsky-style human rights sanctions legislation. During debate over Canada's Magnitsky law, he was quoted in national media on Russian reactions to the proposed legislation and on the use of targeted sanctions against human rights abusers.[7][8]

He has also commented on Canadian sanctions policy in relation to Myanmar, Russia, and other authoritarian regimes.[9][10][11]

In 2018, Kolga was associated with Canadian parliamentary discussion of Interpol reform and the use of international police mechanisms by authoritarian states.[12]

In 2026, Kolga co-authored Decision Making and National Unity Under Threat: Foreign Interference, Cognitive Sovereignty, and the Alberta Referendum with Jennie Phillips, Brian McQuinn, and Bartel Van de Walle.

The report's executive summary stated that “foreign adversaries are exploiting the Alberta separatist debate to erode social cohesion” and identified Russian narrative infrastructure, U.S. political and influencer engagement, and AI-generated content as areas of concern.[24] Global News reported that the study warned foreign adversaries were “meddling in the Alberta separatist debate” in ways that threatened Canada's sovereignty and national security.[25] The Tyee reported that the authors called for stronger transparency requirements for social media companies and a more robust plan to track and respond to foreign disinformation campaigns.[26]
