Key report by @spichaksimon.bsky.social & @ricochetmedia.bsky.social on Canada's digitalization of social security.

A $40-billion plan to arm and extract from the North ignores Indigenous calls for stewardship, risks accelerating climate collapse, and turns a fragile ecosystem into a geopolitical battleground.
