Interested in the evolution of #CANZUK society & in its role as a stabilizing force in International relations. Retired after over 25 years with CMHC in BC & Yukon administering Indigenous housing programs, then Takla Nation’s housing manager (2017-2022)
Clearly, the emerging era of #InternationalRelations will be multipolar.

#CANZUKsociety can serve as a moderating influence in the volatile transition to this next era.

This #InglehartWelzelCultureMap helps to clarify cultural undercurrents influencing the rest of the century & beyond.

#UK's 45 year sojourn with our European allies in the EU provided the UK’s #CANZUK partners time to discern their respective post-Empire identities, but numerous social factors as well as emerging technologies now draw #CANZUKsociety back together.

Empire 2.0? No, we are all partners now!

Historian Robert Tombs of Cambridge University:

"The #Brexit response is clear: to re-empower the democratic nation-state … & to trust that the age of democracy has not been replaced by a post-democratic age of bureaucracy - whether authoritarian, as in PRC, or neoliberal, as in the EU."

It would be almost inconceivable to imagine #CANZUK without acknowledging the impact of #Brexit in releasing the UK from EU control.

2016 EU referendum involved duelling narrative identities, with the People choosing #Leave to restore a significant degree of autonomy to UK’s Parliament.

"If CANZUK once seemed to be going their separate ways, this historic alliance is staging a comeback, based on the new realities and myriad ties, including their shared monarchy. In a turbulent world, the #CANZUK four are more relevant than ever"
