Canada’s Ambassador to the U.N. calling it like it is.
Putting the Arctic Ocean closer to the center, this brings the Greenland Canada gambit into focus. It is a grab for power, money, water, and resources, also giving the US complete control over the Northwest Passage. Fentanyl and the border are a smokescreen for a much bigger project: theft.

I know it's impossible as a normal person to completely disentangle yourself from Amazon's tentacles, but I don't understand how at this point any actor, writer, or filmmaker can take a penny from Amazon Studios. Surely there are still (a few) other less evil options?
