Trading for Keeps, Trading for Culture Scenarios exploring the future of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA)

What if free trade in North America is not restored? What other foreign policies and diplomatic approaches could nurture Canadian cultural sovereignty without isolating our economy? I explore answers to these questions using strategic foresight scenarios on Substack:

An image of a variety of Artist Trading Cards, one has a green crochet granny square sewn to white cardstock, one has a red crochet granny square, and one has a Toronto Blue Jay logo drawn on it. Others have dark doodles and teal writing. The remaining cards have yellow, pink, and blue-dotted stripes. There are 24 cards in total, spread in a pile.

Adding more Artist Trading Cards to the stack!

Is social interaction a tradeoff of autonomy for belonging compared to being alone? New paper by phenom @elainehoan.bsky.social says yes if you're interacting with strangers, no if you're interacting with friends/family. With a romantic partner you gain in both. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

A messy pile of trading cards that have warm colourful abstract designs and hand-printed text. Each card has a different message, either: Be excellent to each other; Tell the truth; Think about our future.

Completed my first set of Artist Trading Cards as experiments in making futures tangible. Each card carries a simple hand-printed reminder that we hold our futures in our hands.

🤙🏾 Be excellent to each other

👍🏾 Tell the truth

✌🏾 Think about our future
