Unapologetic Harper conservative/Chrétien liberal. Carney found the centre. The CPC found maple MAGA. Canucks fan — send help. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #Canucks

If you followed Jacques Journey @thehundymeridian — that was me. A Tragically Hip reference that exactly zero people got (Jacques Cartier, right this way…). Now I’m just Jason and moving on.

New handle. Same opinions. Sharper focus. Let me tell you where I actually stand. 🧵🇨🇦

@marklevinshow If only those people could’ve seen this coming!

@TristinHopper 49K Chinese made Tesla model 3s is hardly embracing Chinese EVs.

Rasmussen proposed the D7 in May.

The D7 gets the instinct right. But an Economic Article 5 alone doesn’t solve the hegemon problem — it just moves it.

You need the structural rules built in from the start. No rotating leadership, no no-hegemons clause, no nuclear ambiguity doctrine — and you’ve just rebuilt NATO with better trade policy.

The framework has to go further. That’s what this series is.

Every alliance in history has eventually been captured by its most powerful member. NATO is/was America. The Warsaw Pact was Russia. The next democratic alliance needs structural rules no previous pact has ever included. 🧵

No hegemon. No first strike. No permanent hierarchy.

An alliance built for the world that actually exists in 2026 — not the one we inherited in 1949.

The architecture is there. The question is whether the political will follows.

Who qualifies? That’s the next question. The criteria come first. 🇨🇦

[Jason 🇨🇦 @TrueBearingCA]

When one member’s spending outpaces the alliance, their voting weight on procurement and command decisions scales back automatically.

Not suspension. Not punishment. A structural brake built into the architecture itself.

Every alliance in history has eventually been captured by its most powerful member. NATO is/was America. The Warsaw Pact was Russia.

The next democratic alliance needs one structural rule no previous pact has ever included.

No hegemons allowed. 🇨🇦

The next democratic defence alliance isn’t theoretical. It’s assembling itself right now — in procurement decisions, bilateral agreements, and meetings most people aren’t paying attention to.

Here’s what it looks like. 🧵

@CANZUK The WSJ reported in April that Europe and Canada are actively discussing exactly this — a “European NATO” without the US, with UK, France, Poland, the Nordics and Canada already in the room.

It even has an emerging name
CALM (Coalition of Like Minded).
