International agreements allow transit through territorial waters at a reasonable pace, but these ships are stopping, and it looks like they are measuring the sea floor. Russia is doing it too. The route used to be frozen; now it can be navigated in summer. Craig used it to explain why the U.S. wants a foothold in the North. It was the last stop in a long Canada conversation. Jim opened on British Columbia\u2019s three-year experiment decriminalizing cocaine and fentanyl, which ended early this year. Craig, who grew up in Quebec, went back to the 1970s and the FLQ, and to the separatist movements in British Columbia and now Alberta. He and Jim compared Canada\u2019s fleet of about 79 fighter jets with the California Air National Guard\u2019s, and Canada\u2019s economy, about half California\u2019s with roughly the same population. With a few minutes left, Jim turned to AI, and Craig got to the week\u2019s working warning. Microsoft had shipped almost 1,000 patches in the month so far, with an off-cycle fix for Remote Desktop, and more on the way. And ScreenConnect \u2014 made by ConnectWise, and the remote-management software many IT providers use to support business computers \u2014 was under active attack. That was in his newsletter that week. Also in this segment: The \u201cmost Albertan man alive\u201d video Craig sent Jim, which Jim says he understood every joke in Craig\u2019s keynote on how businesses can use AI well, drawn from using it in his own company, and his estimate that the U.S. is six months to a year ahead of China Jim on ending up in a Matrix pod: \u201cI\u2019m going to be looking for you. Where\u2019s Craig? He told me this wasn\u2019t going to happen.\u201d Craig has asked for Jim\u2019s help with a project, and they set a meeting for the next day: \u201cBoy, I don\u2019t know how that\u2019s going to work out.\u201d Newsletter and Insider Session announcements: CraigPeterson.com ","author_name":"Craig Peterson - Secure Your Business, Your Privacy, and Save Your Sanity","author_url":"https:\/\/cptt.libsyn.com\/podcast","html":"
