Interesting analysis of Mark Carney’s strategic geopolitical judo in relation to the US. By diversifying trade partners, and by highlighting US volatility and unreliability, he’s sent a message to the world which has shifted the power dynamic.

This is an exceptionally well-researched and written presentation on the history and future of #ICE by Garrett Graff ( @vermontgmg.bsky.social ) to the Governor J.B. Pritzker’s “Illinois Accountability Commission”.
Really freaking disturbing.
Thanks for the great work Garrett!
