This paper provides a new and scary explanation for what motivates Donald Trump and his inner circle. Well worth reading.
It also explores where countries like Canada fit in the world order Trump seems to be creating.

Had a good time speaking this week with Tom Fournier @tom4141tom of the History Symposium about my book, He Did Not Conquer: Benjamin Franklin’s Failure to Annex Canada.

Our interests are complementary: He specializes in the War of 1812, whereas one of my chapters focusses on the invasion of Canada in 1775.

I even got to show a lot of old maps, which make it so much easier to understand the long-standing conflict in North America. Thanks for having me on, Tom!
