Trump Moves to Open 16.7 Million-Acre Alaskan Rainforest to Exploitation https://truthout.org/articles/trump-moves-to-open-16-7-million-acre-alaskan-rainforest-to-exploitation/ https://www.travelalaska.com/Destinations/Parks-and-Public-Lands/Tongass-National-Forest.aspx 'The current governor of Alaska is Republican Mike Dunleavy. Dunleavy assumed office on December 3, 2018. Prior to his election as governor, Dunleavy served as a state senator.' There is never any show without past UK involvement. 'The Alaska boundary dispute was a territorial dispute between the United States and the United Kingdom, which then controlled Canada's foreign relations. It was resolved by arbitration in 1903. The dispute existed between the Russian Empire and Britain since 1821, and was inherited by the United States as a consequence of the Alaska Purchase in 1867. The final resolution favored the American position, and Canada did not get an all-Canadian outlet from the Yukon gold fields to the sea. The disappointment and anger in Canada was directed less at the United States, and more at the British government for betraying Canadian interests in favour of healthier Anglo-American relations.' https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_boundary_dispute Time for another visit by a member of the British royal family?  |
