Image: A Politico poll result shows 57% of Canadians trust China more than the US under DJT.
Once imperial soft power is lost it's gone.
See Holland, France, England.
Hoping that Canadian relations grow deeper
with China, the Nordics, & the EU.
We'll follow the greening economies & cultures
into a future that is safer, healthier, saner.

🇨🇦 The need to convert to a green economy is immediate and Canada is so far behind. Mr Globetrotter Carney better get to it.

"In this context, the transition to renewable energy-based economies is not only a climate option but also a security strategy."

The #Iran war is pushing O&G prices up a lot.
Could the relative cost of #RE become cheaper,
while oil-spooked governments increasingly #green
their economies with RE expansion? 🤷♂️
Although, could #petro-states like #Canada like higher
#O&G prices & be tempted to expand O&G instead? 🤦♂️

🇨🇦 Canada's future will be longitudinal,
whereas the past was latitudinal.
Security alliances with Europe.
Trade with Asia, Europe, and all points further.
Canada could become the place
where Asia and Europe meet.

🇨🇦 Canada's Dept of Immigration must do better by Ukrainian refugees.
Fix the bureaucratic snafus,
hire and train enough staff,
reorient right-wing employees,
stop charging refugees huge fees,
and do the job Canadians expect.

🇨🇦 If it's technically sound, choosing a European satellite service over Musk's Starlink malware seems a no-brainer. Not just for Arctic military ops, but for the whole of Canada.

A crowd in a book store for an event. Female author wearing a red jacket is speaking to a man with white hair before a wall of bookshelves. Others are listening to the conversation.
Had a great time at the Toronto launch of my book at Ben McNally Books. My thanks to Meghan Macdonald of @dundurnpress.bsky.social for kicking things off, Rupert and Danielle McNally for hosting, and to all the friends and book lovers who came.

What a pleasure it was to speak this week with Tom Fournier of the @historysymposium.bsky.social about my book, published by @dundurnpress.bsky.social. I gave the high points of Benjamin Franklin’s designs on Canada.

This is a poster for an October 21st event at the national capital branch (Ottawa) of the Canadian International Council. It shows a photo of the speaker, Madelaine Drohan, and a photo of the moderator, Melanie Walker. It also shows the cover of Madelaine Drohan’s book, which is called He Did Not Conquer: Benjamin Franklin’s Failure to Annex Canada. It gives the details of where the event will take place: 150 Elgin Street, suite 1800, Ottawa, and the time 6:30pm.
Did Benjamin Franklin’s failure to annex Canada set the stage for Donald Trump and his talk of the 51st state? I’ll be discussing that and other questions at a Canadian International Council meeting Oct. 21. Open to the public (see poster for details).

This has been going on for decades. MAGA needs to step back from the misinformation.
What a bunch of broken ppl.
A fed buyback of assault-style firearms announced earlier this month prompted misleading social media posts from American influencers

The unity of the confederacy eventually fractured during the American Revolution when some members sided with the Americans and others with the British. (Image is of Joseph Brant, a Mohawk military leader.)

This is the elaborate cartouche on the 1777 map called "A Map of the Inhabited Parts of Canada." The cartouche has fir and pine trees at the top. At the bottom are two Europeans trading with a male indigenous person, who appears to be handing them a fur pelt.
“Now, Sir, is the time to carry Canada. It may be done with great ease and little cost, and I have no doubt but the Canadians would join us.” It was bad intelligence.

This is a segment of a 1777 map showing the border between the colony of New York and the colony of Canada. Montreal is near the top of the map, Lake Champlain is near the bottom, almost directly south of Montreal. The map is coloured. The border is a red line that crosses through the very top of Lake Champlain.
#OTD Aug 14, 1775, American spy John Brown of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, reported on his latest mission to Canada. The French Canadians longed for the American army to invade, Brown told his superiors....

The @theglobeandmail.com opinion article by David MacNaughton calling for increased export of nat gas to displace coal GHG emissions fails when Sask, and Alberta refuse to displace their reliance on coal-fired generation with nat gas from their own province.

@ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social Charlie Angus has an opinion on the US ambassador in Ottawa. A significant number of Canadians agree with him. It'd be nice to see something on prime time along these lines.

Trump’s threats to make #Canada the 51st state need to be seen in context. I wrote about it for Canada’s History.
#HeDidNotConquer #cdapoli #cdaUS #skystorians
This figure would have more meaning if it were put in context with other provinces. How many people in Ontario or Quebec or Newfoundland, identify first with their province and then with their country? More or less than Alberta?

Well done @brucefanjoy.bsky.social
Canada owes you one.

Just in time for the election. Trump reminds Canadians what’s at stake.
