Not only our minerals & other resources, but access to and control of the Northwest Passage (one of the reasons climate change is so often minimised, even welcomed, by certain players).

As the ice melts, the Northwest Passage becomes more viable as an option—shorter & therefore cheaper—for global shipping routes.

I agree, i also believe that Trump is the necessary distraction bought and paid for. It's his silent handlers behind the scenes we need to be wary of. The one skill Trump has mastery over is to keep attention focused on him with kaos as his tool of choice. While the majority of the world focuses on his unbelievably horrific acts darker moves are happening that we hear nothing about. It won't be a war with armies at the border.. it'll be an economic battle an AI it's weapons.

So add 'threatens Canada’s sovereignty' to the list of generative AI's many sins.

Really interesting article. We really should take Trump seriously, we have already seen him scouring to extract minerals elsewhere — hence him looking to get a mineral deal out of the Ukraine.

"The real driver of demand isn’t climate. It’s AI. And weapons. And weapons that use AI." Not that I don't trust the reporting, but I would've liked to seen a source since this feels underreported by the mainstream press, even just a hyperlink cause this is a really important point.

As someone else already pointed out the Northwest Passage is going to be crucial in the future. We have to be ready to protect our sovereignty.
