this sex all three countries in north america. being energy independent in america is one thing. ng north american energy independent, in my view, should be the goal. the way to achieve that is closer cooperation. that also includes closer cooperation around climate change, around the environment, emissions standards. we are yet to see what the president will do with the paris climate change record. a pretty clear signal coming already that there is a backing away from that, as we saw with kyoto. that is problematic. if we are not holding to account china, pakistan, india, ourselves, we are whistling past the graveyard on these important environmental issues. going it alone in that area is disaster. exports to energy mexico could themselves errors the trade deficit. so going to stop the panel we can have questions from the audience. there will be microphones circulating. introduce your name, your question. i will take three questions together. first question here in a second row. diana negroponte from the woodrow wilson center. if the key political problem is nafta,s there, within

in other words, the colonies in english mainland north america are not altogether unlike the other parts of english america in the caribbean. those other colonies. they are islands in a sea of wilderness in some respects. the term colony, but in reality the english process and -- possessions in north america are more dominions in 1650. does anyone remember come away talked about this earlier about the difference between a dominion and a colony. ?had question mar >> a dominion is part of the greater empire. but they are more tied to the economic and military aspects of the overall empire. prof. coombs: perfect. great answer. dominions are off on their own. the only thing that really makes these various possessions in north america part of a large ring emerging imperial state is the fact that they are english. many of their charters have been issued by the crown, so they are -- their authorization for their founding comes from the english monarchy. but there are no structures to tie them to the mother country to speak up whatsoever. example, between 1644 and 1638, massachusetts received no

this affects all three countries in north america. being energy independent in america is one thing. being north american energy independent in my view should be the goal. and the way to achieve that is closer cooperation, that also includes closer cooperation around climate change, around the environment, around emission standards, because, you know, we have yet to see what the president is going to do, with the paris climate change accord. it is a pretty clear signal that is coming already that there is a backing away from that as we saw with kyoto. that's problematic. because if we're not holding to account china, pakistan, india, ourselves, we're whistling past the graveyard on some important environmental issues. we got to be working together on that. going it alone in that area is disaster. >> and on energy, energy, u.s. energy exports to mexico could of themselve erase the trade deficit we have with mexico if we leave things alone. i'm going stop the panel for a moment, i want to make sure we have questions from the audience her

we do joint risk management for cargo approaching north america or departing from north america.ink i will stop there. we have a long list of things that we've been doing in the last 25 years, and that shows how this strong cooperation actually delivers in both trade facilitation and security. i would finalize by saying that what we've been doing, actually, is developing a north american customs platform. if you put all the pieces of this jigsaw puzzle together, at the end of the day what we're building or what we're constructing is a north american customs platform. and that's why we believe we should preserve that and expand that cooperation, because we both win by having this data exchange, risk analysis together, targeting, good infrastructure. and always with the vision of facilitating trade and improving security in all of our projects. that's what we've been doing. i'll stop right there. >> thanks, jose. mike? >> thanks. i actually, i'm hoping to kind of shoot the gap a little bit between pamela and jose martin's presentationings. i want to -- but to do that, i want to tak

europeans, in most cases in north america, did not invade the coast. they struck deals with native people on the coast who wanted to trade. at that moment in time, most native people could not predict settler colonialism. the arrival of families, the expansion of those populations. the expansion of livestock herds. in the short-term, what they want are these goods. klaus, yes, metal tools, yes, but especially weapons. weapons that would tilt the intertribal balance of power. that is the first point. the second is colonial states never have the ability to control the gun trade. they call this rogue colonialism. colonial governors and colonial assemblies wrung their hands over the trade of guns deals and banded quite often on -- band it quite often, sometimes making it a capital crime in certain instances to trade guns with native people. never were they able to gordon -- cordon people off of this. indeed, these were not just rogue traders, very often it is government military officials. it speaks to that point we were making earlier. the reason we did t

it's not every place but north america. north america is a good place, too. again, the growth we're talking about is still double digits and something that we're excited. so we want to get people and make sure they know we are a growth company. we remain one. but we're prudent in our investment pieces and the way we're going to make thoughtful investments to ensure we become a $10 billion brand. getting to where we did and through 20 years in history, very proud of it. but the mission that we have has not changed. our vision is to be that $10 billion brand. unfortunately we've got a $10 billion business -- $5 billion business today where we're investing in infrastructure to be a $10 b10 billion company. we're to the doing that without any thought, either. like we're doing it very thoughtfully. if there's things we need to do, we are prepared to make the difficult decisions. that's how a company lives 20 years in business and especially the way that under armour has. >> do you feel like you need to win back, so to speak, wall street support? you've had, i don'

take a picture of how strong that is for you in north america.pretty clear the number of rigs operating is a good indicator of the activity. the end of may 2016 an all-time low of around 400 rigs operating in north america, compared to 1800 just 18 months before, so the trough reached in may, and now at the we are around 700, and as i speak we are already at 750 come a so we can anticipate north american drilling activity will be increasing by at least 15% in 2016 compared to 2016 on average. anna: can you link rig counts? we count those recounts religiously here. can you link them to topline growth or profitability in your business very directly? time lagell there is a in terms of pricing, how fast we get on top of the volume edition. we get some pricing benefit. we are in the process of increasing our prices in north america. we need to do this because the price of the raw material, namely this graph metal that we used to make our own steel, is going up quite steeply as well, so i would say this scenario for us is first half, the benefit of add

developed provinces of the greatest british world, for the scotts as well as those leaders in north america. the similarities are extraordinary between the scotts and the north americans. both of them, both the americans and the scotts were provincial people living on the edges of the metropolitan english world. both provisional societies lacked the greater hereditary noble families that were at the ruling center of the political life. when the union with england was formed in 1707, all the great noble families in scotland moved south to london where the action was leaving scotland under control of the minor gentry. in both north american scotland, unlike metropolitan england, the upper most levels of the aristocracy tended to be dominated by the minor gentry, people like washington and jefferson in america and people like boswell and hume and adam smith in scotland. professional men or relatively small landowners who were anxious to have their status determined less by their ancestry or the size of their estates and more by their behavior or their learning, their politeness. both the scott

our north america editor jon sopel reports.nnouncer: the president of the united states and the prime minister of canada. this is the neighbour just dropping by. but were there ever two elected leaders so different in style and substance than donald trump and justin trudeau? both men were on their best behaviour, because on one particular issue they are thousands of miles apart — and that is whether to allow those fleeing persecution into the country. on the day after president trump signed his controversial executive order banning refugees and travellers from seven mainly—muslim countries, justin trudeau tweeted this: "to those fleeing persecution, terror and war, canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. diversity is our strength. welcome to canada." so how would they deal with this obvious policy difference at theirjoint news conference? we cannot let the wrong people in, and i will not allow that to happen during this administration. and people, the citizens of our country, want that, and that's their attitude t

when did that mean in terms of impact on leadership here in north america, here in the burgeoning america. so it had a deep impact in that manner. >> you said in the tour that everyone is this this story. how so? >> well, we start this story with humanity. we do not start it with slavery. it's an american story, a shared history, and a human story. so that how many story is told looking at this through an african-american lens. that lens looked out on to interracial world. while we tell many stories, or benjamin banker or stories like joseph and freedom paper, at the same time we have that wage book on display in the transatlantic. >> which is what. >> a book that contains wages that paid to crews members who served on the slave ship. while we know what went on in the hull of the ship, people should know about the human experience on deck. crew members were beaten. and it was a hard life, being a slave was a harsh reality but we would be remist if we didn't tell the whole of the human story. two things to thing about with that foxes wage book is everyone benefitted from this slave trade.
