Rationale
Canadian sovereignty and global affairs forum topics discuss diplomatic capacity. Counterterrorism and national security debates emphasize modern border management. Neither border_security nor foreign_affairs_spending has been activated despite active defence and trade proposals. Chain: foreign_affairs_spending -> trade_volume (+0.05, d8), border_security -> supply_chain integrity (+0.10, d4).
