This week, I chatted with the fantastic folks at Think BRICS about global grand strategy with a specific focus on Canada’s potential integration into a North American Union, or European Union or BRICS… Think BRICS just published the entire interview along with the following overview to whet your appetite:
“In a revealing uncensored interview—now available in full for the first time—Matthew Ehret, Editor-in-Chief of Canadian Patriot Review , pulls back the curtain on Canada’s precarious geopolitical future. This unfiltered conversation, stretching far beyond the edited version on YouTube, dives into explosive questions: Could Canada pivot from its traditional Western alliances to join BRICS? Is a 51st U.S. statehood bid more likely? And why does a former Bank of England governor now hold the keys to Canada’s political machinery?
Ehret doesn’t hold back. He paints a picture of a nation caught in a high-stakes tug-of-war between global power brokers. On one side: BRICS nations like Russia and China, touting infrastructure megaprojects like the Polar Silk Road. On the other: a U.S. establishment flirting with Trump’s revival of “America First” nationalism. But Ehret warns viewers not to take headlines at face value. “Games within games,” he says, hinting at shadowy agendas behind Canada’s possible openness to flirt with greater collaboration with Asia.
The interview takes a sharp turn into Canada’s political labyrinth. Why did Mark Carney—a banker with ties to Oxford and the Bank of England—leapfrog over rivals like Chrystia Freeland (a Rhodes Scholar with Soros connections) to become PM?
