2023 shaping up to be a hell of a year.

I feel it in my bones that the world is going to be at war within the next couple of years.
The undercurrent of aggression and grievance that has been bubbling on the form of conservative movements like Brexit, Putin, Tea Party/MAGA, Bolsanero, Netanyahu, etc.
I don't think the pressure that has built will be relieved until people witness first-hand the bloodshed and devastation of war. Eventually, I think they will get tired of war, quiet down, and be peaceful for another couple of decades.
The rest of us will just have to suffer through the tantrum.

Years? My dude/dudette, I'm worried that 2023 IS the year we go WWIII.
We have more incidents happening faster and faster. We don't know Putin's health status exactly but there's public intelligence that says he's dying of something. Bibi has a veeery hard line gov't and, if this was Israel, Iran will not sit idly by. I expect retaliation.
The inly real benefit to Canada and the US is that we have two massive oceans surrounding us so all of this doesn't bring feelings of impending doom.....yet.

Don't forget we share a huge maritime border with Russia. It's going to take more than a couple skidoos in Churchill.

Russia's Navy is a complete joke, it's only aircraft carrier is so badly maintained, that it's considered a punishment to be stationed there, I think Canada can handle Russia

Canada does not have a carrier, and we’ve got a clown for PM. Russia will roll us

They could control the sea against Canada, but not much more. I doubt the rest of NATO would let them do even that anyways.

Energy policy in the West is a complete shit show. We are crippling our oil industry resulting in countries like Russia becoming energy giants. And the results of an emboldened Russia is pretty clear now.
We need to save like Norway in that we encourage clean energy while maintaining our fossil fuel industries. That is until clean energy can actually displace it world wide.

We could easily be producing far more taking world markets from Russia, Saudi Arabia etc. The US canceled Keystone alone resulting in oil now coming from Venezuela. This is incredible dangerous and short sighted.

Lol, the American oilfield isn’t even remotely crippled. Relevant username.

The US doesn’t need neighbors to get destroyed. You guys are doing a great job achieving that internally.

Mexico might have a drug lord problem, but Canada seems pretty stable? What’s going to tear them apart internally? Is it the French people experiences Frenchness?
