Can the central government in Canada choose to make energy a strategic asset? I once read that Canada's resources are the property of the provinces. If this is the case, the provinces could opt for 'connectivity' unlike the position elsewhere where resources are the property of the nation.

The article on TB's website warns that "pitched battles over control of critical assets (e.g., energy. . .), will increase in intensity". And on the subject of energy, a "book review":http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0805073132/nationbooks08/104-7663660-3461566 mentions TB. >In many ways, his books complements the one by Thomas Barnett, "The Pentagon's New Map," except that whereas Barnett says that the military must go to war to make unstable areas safe for America, Klare points out that a) we don't have enough guns or blood to stabilize a world that we antagonize every time we deploy into an "occupation" mode, and b) cheap oil is going to be very very expensive in terms of American blood on the floor. Interesting to hear about Canada again.
