There is nothing at all new with the US position. It was always maintained that the NW Passage waters are international waters. They already pass freely, above and below the surface… 😉

I have taken my cue on what is or isn’t genocide in Canada from my uncle (through marriage) who is Cree. He disagrees with the use of the term, particularly because of its wide definition, as he says “gas chambers to hurt feelings.” He also took issue with the Government of the day’s...

Oh, I don’t think that the majority of GenZ or younger millennials truly believes that Canada committed genocide on its first nations peoples. That said, when the leader of a country is using social media and other venues to transmit that message, when can’t help but wonder a little bit just how...

You forgot ‘genocidal.’

We’ll see, I guess. Venezuela figured prominently in China’s South America Brick and Road strategy.

Or for *onward sale to Europe, etc.

👍🏼 Historically they have been trade protectionists.

China’s reduction in U.S. soy purchases in 3, 2, 1…

The nuance of Miran’s strategy wasn’t really appreciated by the administration, ie. starting with a relatively low tariff of 10% across the board to send a message to America’s consumer nations and a 60% across China’s bow…and also to give time for American manufacturing to react and work...

Program, or perhaps Bonus? 😉

…and… C- the global economic implications that Miran’s strategy contained as told elements that would have unintended negative consequences to America’s waning global economic hegemony. Last time I was in Brussels and Mons, the general sentiment was of NATO’s ‘rump’ having rapidly degrading...

Good catch. I remember when Miran was nominated Chair of Trump’s Council of Economic Advisors a year ago. He was a student of the late Martin Feldstein, a renowned Harvard economist whom Mark Carney often spoke with not only while he was studying at Harvard but years later when he was governor...

So perhaps it stays in the back pocket as a “Hmmm….rubs chin, thinking….so Canada is not a country you see as much cooperation with…” moment during USMCA discussions when America takes the ‘take it or leave it’ position?

True, but trying in Yuan if even temporarily to make a point to others, is proportionately less destructive than failing to substantively deal with foreign hybrid warfare being conducted against us now. FI registry, positive start, but actions against the UFWD and other related elements is wanting.

I’ve been tracking that’s well. America’s left hand and right hand are not talking. Trump‘s tariff war has probably done more damage to the future of the USD then they’re trying to keep the USD Petro the prime monetary tool for oil transactions. Edit to add: it would be interesting if Canada...

Eastern Europe and the Caucuses.

Both can be true, but I think the major signaling was to the fellow P3 members.

At its simplest, Trump *served notice to Xi and Putin that he looks at the Americas as America’s.

It arced above 100km altitude (the ‘Karman Line’) so most will say *they were in space for a few minutes. It was sub-orbital, so some argue it wasn’t really spaceborne, just arcing through very thin Earth’s atmosphere. I’d say it was in space. Whether the occupants of the capsule were...

Canada-Alberta November energy agreement MOU confirming bitumen pipeline to coastal waters is a. Canadian ‘National Interest’ program that supports implementation of the pipeline through provision of exemptions to otherwise applicable Federal environmental and legislative constraints. QV...
