I have a lot of issues with Trudeau but the one thing I have to give him is that he can masterfully deal with Trump. He can work Trump’s ego just enough to (usually) talk him out of doing absolutely insane shit in relation to Canada.

Side note but since when is Canada a major source of drug cartels and fentanyl production lol?

    The Arctic is an important topic?

    Referring to glacier melt or something else?

    Because that’s not an Arctic-specific phenomenon, that’s global.

      I doubt it’s about glacier melt… Maybe he thinks there’s oil to be had up there.

        It’s called the northwest passage. It’s supposed to be a vital shipping route once the ice melts.

        It’s also an important region for defense. Look at a map of the north pole. Russia is right there. We’ve never had to worry about a naval incursion before. With melting ice we do.

        And, yes, there is oil up there.
