The video material you will find above is a rough draft edit of an in-depth interview with one of the most inclusive and visionary political scientists of our generation, Parag Khanna.

Most recently he has published MOVE (2021)

"In the 60,000 years since people began colonizing the continents, a recurring feature of human civilization has been mobility—the constant search for resources and stability. Seismic global events—wars and genocides, revolutions and plagues—have only accelerated the process. The map of humanity isn’t settled—not now, not ever.

As climate change tips toward full-blown crisis, economies collapse, governments destabilize, and technology disrupts, we’re entering a new age of mass migrations—one that will scatter both the dispossessed and the well-off. Which areas will people abandon and where will they resettle? Which countries will accept or reject them? As today’s world population, which includes four billion restless youth, votes with their feet, what map of human geography will emerge?"

In this book Parag submits to us that Canada is on course to become a demographic superpower. "As I point out in MOVE, no other country is strategically growing its population by one percent per year - all while climate change makes it an agricultural superpower as well. Importantly, Canada is attracting young students and skilled workers who are propelling the country to the top tier in the global war for talent. After the pandemic, Canada may attract record numbers of Americans in search of the "Canadian Dream."
