Who knew Greenland was going to make history?

Wesley Wark, former historian of security and intelligence history at the University of Toronto turned independent security consultant, has a Substack. I've started reading it. 

I hesitate about recommending Substacks because anything more than the barest mention of that platform seems to bring floods of unwanted subscriptions and offers -- the corporate monetizing of blogging triumphant.

But Wark is posting frequently and perceptively, and seemingly with better info sources than most, on the new reality that Canada's longtime leading security ally has become our greatest security threat and Europe's too. (Canadian forces to Greenland? Yes, he says.)  The Walrus reprints some of them.

Wark bio from his Substack:    National security and intelligence expert. Senior Fellow at the Centre for International Governance Innovation and Fellow at the Balsillie School of International Affairs. Professor emeritus, University of Toronto.
