Will expand on his points tomorrow morning.

But coles notes:

1. Americans will step back from protecting world trade routes (i.e. high seas).
2. Will lead to significant instability in Europe and Asia.
3. Population demographics are about to wreak havoc on the developed world.
4. Alberta should join the US.
I attended. He was very engaging for sure and raised some interesting points. The demographic aspect for Russia was certainly a different perspective. Kind of now or never for their army and to secure their boarders.

Edit: was fascinated by Amanda Lang's face barely moving when she spoke. I am not sure she could frown or smile if she was asked too.
