Thank you for your thorough response, John. This is what I am here for! While we do not agree on all issues, you intelligently make your case after respectfully considering mine. When we disagree, you are a worthy advisory.

Hey thanks. I will never think I know the answers to much of anything, but I have fairly positive views of what i think Trump et al are up to. I do believe that Canada will be much better off in the future allied with the USA (and Greenland). Geo-politics are going to become localized as the cost of shipping and handling skyrockets. I really believe in the need to adapt to a warming planet, rather than thinking that anything we do can stop or reverse it. You folks in Canada are the future for the Western Hemisphere and Trump wants you on his team. Europe is so passé. The localization of economics will force them to cave to Russia down the road as Ukraine get forgotten about by the NATO and EU boys and girls. Canada is going to get nothing from Europe as Ontario believes, and will be much better off as a part of a new North America.
BTW, have you seen the projections of the split of North America into three countries along modern economic and political differences. In short, the West Coast of both countries are one, the centers of both countries are two and the Northeast of the USa will combine with Eastern Canada for three. The current separation is based on 300 year old wars and the friction between Britain and the USA. If England follows the rest of Europe into alliance with the R in BRICS+, Canada will lose that historic attachment. Where do you think events will be pushing you when you control half of the shipping of the world and Russia has the other half.
If you are hearing me, you will realize than the relative decline in he USA will allow Canada to progress as the world’s climate and consequent geo-politics change. Trump is being very wise, trying to hook his sinking ship onto one becoming more sea worthy in the future. Again, I ask, will Canada be better off hooked up with the USA or off by itself?
Another way to ask, would Canada be better off, sees to sea, with a Trumpian philosophy or a Trudeau philosophy? To me the future is fairly clear, economic competition between localized areas and the winners will be the ones that acknowledge that vision. I remember JHK talking about the re-emergence of the sailing ship as oil declines. That will force the localizations.
The future is not globalism, it is localization. That is why as time goes along, the globalist Progressive Left and its trail of Have-Nots are going to get left behind. Ha, it strikes me that if Space-X has its way, one of those locales could be Mars. Boy, oh boy, will shipping charges be “out of this world”.
Canadians don't see it that way at all. Generally, we despise both Trudeau and Trump. Finally get rid of the former is hardly a reason to wed the latter.
One more, Israel. The ME is going to become one of the locales. The Orthodox Jews will complain but for the area to survive the future changes, the negative Iran will be forced into compliance with the rest of the Islamic area and the Jews will be back to aligning themselves with the area it is in. Could it be that the whole area, under economic pressure, homogenizes? Like North America will, IMHO.

Canada is not for sale.

Can you see it. 2050, a Zoom teleconference between DC, Ottawa, Jerusalem, Dubai and Barsoom, Mars.
