How to lose a trade negotiation Step 1: travel to minor, inconsequential markets for a year. Fail to reverse the decade of Liberal policies making Canada the second poorest US state after Mississippi. Step 2: play up a performative “middle power resistance” schtick and mis-cite Vaclev Havel - whose antagonism to political cynicism would hate this ‘elbows up’ embarrassment. Step 3: run out of time and strategic options while Mexico creates a bilateral alternative to CUSMA. In 1812, our generals weren’t playing with figurines their New York friends gave them and talking about previous battles to prepare the nation for an anticipated failure from their own lack of preparation and focus. Canada has a generational opportunity to create the largest and most consequential free trade zone with the largest economy in the world. This video is a national embarrassment.

BITCOIN COMMUNITY PUSHES BACK AGAINST PROPOSAL TO FREEZE SATOSHI’S COINS Bitcoin developers have proposed BIP 361 to freeze early wallets with potential quantum vulnerabilities, including Satoshi-era addresses from 2010–11. These wallets hold over 4M BTC and are seen as long-term risk targets if quantum computing advances. The proposal has sparked major pushback. Critics argue forcing migration at the consensus layer is too heavy-handed, breaking from Bitcoin’s tradition of voluntary upgrades driven by wallet defaults and incentives. They also note the quantum threat remains theoretical, with attack economics unlikely to target most users. Opponents warn that setting deadlines and invalidating legacy signatures could introduce unnecessary disruption and a dangerous precedent for protocol-level fund restrictions.
