It is always interesting what a president tries to pull in the final hours of his presidency. President Obama instead of focusing on the transition of power from himself to Donald Trump is focusing on sliding in whatever legislation he can before he is forced to vacate the White House.
In the last two weeks alone he has managed to tick off Israel—one of our most important ally’s in the Middle East, set sanctions against Russia without showing proof, approve legislation on education that directly conflicts with President Trump’s views, banned millions of acres of land in the Arctic from offshore oil and gas drilling, granted release to thousands of federal inmates, and the list goes on and on.
Some of the changes pushed through at the last minute hold the potential for extreme consequences. That may be the case with a recent plan, put forth put out by the White house in the closing days of December, 2016.
The plan, titled “The Joint United States-Canada Electric Grid Security and Resilience Strategy.” Basically, it details ways the two countries should safeguard electrical outages and other power issues in connection with national security. Sounds on the up and up, right? After all, Canada and the U.S. do utilize many of the same electrical grids.
However, there may be more to this than meets the eye. In the eight years of President Obama, why exactly is this coming out in a shadow plan, released just weeks before he is to leave the White House? For more in-depth analysis regarding why in the world this new “strategy” would come out now, check out the video below.
