You’re one of my go-tos. Well done. I’d say keep up the good work but I imagine this takes mental energy and I’d never hold it against you if you want to stop.

Another (minor) aspect of EU Canada partnership is “the race for the arctic”. EU can’t stand Russias growing monopoly over the Arctic trade route. So they’ll be pumping money and propaganda into the Canadian arctic hoping to achieve something??

“Canada’s North and the Arctic will be a particular focus, as new threats emerge in part due to a changing climate”

“Canada is committed to asserting its sovereignty, strengthening northern defence and surveillance capabilities, and deepening cooperation with its allies to deter and, if necessary, defend against emerging threats in the North and High Arctic. climate.”

““Climate change is a new threat to Canada”” Not because climate change is bad. But because Russia!!

I saw somewhere they wanted to make a deep water port to protect trade routes with Europe. But I think its just that for now, a desire with no plan.

Great article though.
