Magatte @magattew is great. What she says here about prosperity in Africa - it is the same with schools
What we think of as ‘helping’ only makes the helper feel better about themselves- thinking they are compassionate
But we are shouting into the wind…
@erinotoole Yes. You cannot understand or critically think about the present without understanding history and how we got here. You need to know an learn from the there to understand the here. My 7th grade son is reading the The Giver. The theme: the illusion of utopia is in fact dystopia.
@davidboxenhorn@havivrettiggur@SkyNews@UN & @KimmelmanLouis exactly. How often was the role of Iran discussed in news coverage on Gaza post 10/7? Or now, how Hamas & Hezbollah are connected: both Iranian stationed outposts w/local names & combined the cause of regional & global instability when linked to Russia & China.
“NATO’s newly launched Arctic initiative should become a permanent fixture of the Western military alliance’s activities, Canada’s foreign minister said Wednesday. ‘I am pushing NATO allies and the secretary-general to see this as a collective effort, not only an individual effort.’”

Canada thanks Greenland for its support as Canada’s new consulate opens in Nuuk to strengthen cooperation on Arctic governance, security and people-to-people ties for a stable and prosperous Arctic.
A good call with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark today.
Greenland’s future is for Greenland and Denmark alone to decide. We reaffirmed our commitment to sovereignty and territorial integrity and discussed our ongoing work to strengthen Arctic security.
Canada is strengthening its Arctic presence — and this week I will be in Denmark and Greenland to open our consulate in Nuuk. This is a clear signal of our commitment to sovereignty, security, and regional stability.

Canada, the U.S. and Finland are teaming up to strengthen our Arctic sovereignty and bolster our icebreaker fleets. This means more security in the North — and more skilled jobs at home. Strong allies, strong economy.
Despite Israel’s geographical distance from the region, it has a variety of interests there - security, economy and diplomacy. How Israel handles each of these interests will either contribute to or harm its broader national interests? >> https://t.co/zNJrKc1Ldp
