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 #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? 🤦‍♂️

🇨🇦 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.

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).

“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.

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.

One in four people in Alberta identify as Albertans first, Canadians second, Nanos poll finds But poll also suggests that voluble separatist forces in the province only represent small fraction of the population

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?

The Debate Commission is obviously incompetent, but the debates themselves were good. Patrice Roy and Steve Paikin are excellent. The party leaders were forthcoming and, for the most part, civil.
