Canada is picking up the political radicalization bug from the U.S., new report warnsPolitical issues are being weaponized at the expense of national unity, says Eurasia Group's 'Top Risk' reportA U.S.-based research group that specializes in gauging geopolitical risk says Canada is showing signs of the same political contagion and polarization that has afflicted American politics.- AnalysisThe war in Ukraine has been a disaster for Russia — and nothing suggests a change of course in 2023While the Kremlin has been careful to limit its war in Ukraine, Bremmer and the group's chairman Cliff Kupchan, who co-authored the analysis, said Moscow's strategy of dividing the West isn't working — and Russia could abandon caution and start issuing more explicit threats to use nuclear weapons.In its analysis, the group sees most of the risk to Canada coming from the political convulsions in the United States — which Bremmer described as the "Divided States of America."Despite the warnings and the overall gloomy outlook, both Bremmer and Kupchan said there's a good reason to be optimistic: many of their organization's worst-case scenarios of previous years have not materialized."On the bright side," said Kupchan, "threats to democracy's future, which appeared dire last year, look overrated now, given the glaring leadership weaknesses evident in Russia, China, and Iran."
