I think the real problem with the world right now is aging demographics, which lead to higher interest rates, which threatens the ponzi scheme we have created in finance and housing.
The US is dealing with it using tariffs, Europe is using carbon border adjustments to do the same thing with a green veneer. Carney has said we would be joining Europe in tariffing foreign emitters.

What in the world are you referring to? Certainly not the article, which has absolutely nothing to do with this.
Over-border detentions by ice and border patrol between Yukon and Alaska. That was what the article was about.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it but the article seems to imply the tariffs are malicious, or part of the annexation goal. I'm just saying through an apolitical lens that I'm starting to see the tariffs as a means of raising taxes in the US, and due to the reasons I listed.
The article is extremely emotionally charged.
Emotional? Are we reading the same article?
You are definitely reading too much into it. Especially somehow connecting it to Europe.
Is this even a sensible framing? To seek the one main thing wrong with the world right now?
It's a variation of that silly debate game of choosing "money, sex or power" as the thing that "moves the world".
WWII was caused by global populism and tariffs just as we are seeing now. I think it makes sense to assume rapid changes in the financial market can cause populism, price controls, tariffs, etc..
Maybe you're right that the political instability isn't due to the global financial markets though. I just thought we could be reliving some form of history.
