    Ep.2 From trade war to kinetic war? Understanding the new geopolitical dynamics with Michael Every.

    Just in time for "Liberation Day" and Donald Trump's reciprocal tarifs, we receive Michael Every, global strategist at Rabobank for this second episode of The Next Decade. With Michael, we dive into the complexities of geopolitical analysis, focusing on the evolving nature of grand strategy in a contested world. We discuss the implications of GDP beyond mere numbers by asking : "What is GDP for?" as well as the impact of political leadership on national strategy, and the historical shifts in global power dynamics. The conversation also touches on the responses of second-tier powers like Canada and Europe to US policies, how national security concerns now trump (pun intented) mere economic policy. We also ask : "What is China's grand strategy?" Lastly, Michael emphasizes the importance of understanding historical context and preparing for geopolitical changes in an increasingly uncertain world. A few takeaways : The middle class's radicalization can lead to significant political shifts. Understanding GDP's purpose is crucial for effective national strategy. Grand strategy encompasses national interests beyond economic metrics. Political leadership significantly influences a country's strategic direction. The US is navigating a complex global landscape with rising powers like China. Historical events shape current geopolitical dynamics and strategies. Nationalism is resurging, impacting international relations and alliances. Canada and Europe must adapt to a changing US foreign policy. The state may increasingly dictate economic priorities for national security. China's grand strategy aims to expand its global influence and manufacturing dominance. 00:00 Introduction to Geopolitical Dynamics 04:28 Understanding Grand Macro Strategy 07:34 The Role of GDP in National Security 10:28 The Impact of Political Leadership on Strategy 13:32 Shifts in American Foreign Policy 16:25 The Evolving Global Landscape 19:16 Canada and Europe's Response to US Policy 22:11 The Future of State and Market Relations 31:40 Navigating North American Supply Chains 32:30 Understanding China's Grand Strategy 35:41 China's Export Efficiency and Global Impact 37:19 China's Response to US Tariffs 40:47 Potential Scenarios: Trade War to Kinetic Conflict 42:23 The Future of Second Tier Powers 50:03 Preparing for Macro Changes: The Average Person's Role 57:23 The Importance of Geopolitical Analysis

    Ep.1 Is a Merger Between Canada and the USA Inevitable? A talk with Diane Francis.

    Should Canada "merge" with the United States of America? Diane Francis, author of Merger of The Century: Why Canada and the United States Should Become One Country, thinks it's inevitable. This question may be the most important geopolitical thought experiment for North America's future since the end of WWII. Branded a traitor in Canada for suggesting the integration of Canada and the United States a decade ago with her book, we discuss Donald Trump's comments and that very idea in a contemporary context with Francis. How would such a "merger" take place? Are we talking about making a large US-Canada single market with no border between the two countries? Would Canada simply be annexed and become a series of US States? What would be the steps towards such a political union? Further, Francis highlights geopolitical and economic implications, emphasizing the vast natural resources and strategic advantages of a united North American superpower. Join us for this thought-provoking discussion about national identity, geopolitical strategy as Donald Trump is about to take office in the White House and threatens Canada with high tariffs. 00:00 Starting the Debate: Canada's Future with the U.S. 01:53 Introducing Diane Francis: A Voice on Geopolitics 03:07 Exploring Singularity University and AI 07:04 Trump's Comments and the Idea of a U.S.-Canada Merger 09:58 Historical Context: Mackenzie King's Vision 15:11 The Case for a North American Political Union 23:01 Regional Cultures and Political Differences 23:23 Economic Impact of French Language Protection 23:50 Customs Union and NAFTA 25:32 Geopolitical Reasons for a Canada-U.S. Merger 26:37 Canada's Resource Wealth 28:14 Foreign Influence and Espionage 30:51 Canada's Political Leadership 36:56 Canada's Economic Downturn 44:12 Future of Canada-U.S. Relations 44:58 Diane Francis' Publications
