Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a frank assessment of how he views the world in a provocative speech in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, where he said the longstanding U.S.-led, rules-based international order is over and middle powers like Canada must pivot to avoid falling prey to further "coercion" from powerful actors.
Without invoking U.S. President Donald Trump by name, Carney referenced "American hegemony" and said "great powers" are using economic integration as "weapons."
"Canadians know that our old, comfortable assumption that our geography and alliance memberships automatically conferred prosperity and security is no longer valid," Carney said.
As it grapples with this new dynamic, Carney said Canada must be "principled and pragmatic" and turn inward to build up the country and diversify trading relationships to become less reliant on countries like the U.S., now that it's clear "integration" can lead to "subordination."
Carney said multilateralism and the "architecture of collective problem-solving" — relying on institutions like the World Trade Organization, the United Nations and Conference of the Parties (COP) for climate talks — has been "diminished" and countries have to accept they may have to go it alone more often than in the recent past.
"Many countries are drawing the same conclusions. They must develop greater strategic autonomy: in energy, food, critical minerals, in finance and supply chains.
"A country that cannot feed itself, fuel itself or defend itself has few options. When the rules no longer protect you, you must protect yourself," Carney said.

It says, while Alberta is chomping at the bit to vote to secede.
IOW if you f*** with the USA it ain’t gonna truckle to you any more.
If (God forbid) Newsome becomes the next president this guy will be on his knees saying how great he is.
And the old order is who installed him.
Stable Genius got Carney elected, and we will see Chinese troops in Canada in the next 4 years. Thanks!
Speaking of Chinese troops, .The Stable Genius and Tough Talking' Tom Turkey Neck Homan have not removed ONE CHINESE SOLDIER FROM THE US as of today. Time is running out.
Right now only about 31% of Albertans support independence. That’s a lot less than the 49% years ago for Quebec.
US and AB would benefit enormously if AB became independent. Mutually beneficial defense agreements, use of USD, free trade zones, pipelines to gulf west coast, easy US border crossing.
Canada would be forced to align with US instead of CCP.
The Canadian left has turned Trump into a boogieman, and used TDS to manipulate Canadia’s sheep-like population into voting for them.
For some reason, President Trump has played into this dynamic.
A majority of the Canadian population spends much more time thinking about their TDS than they spend thinking about their own country. Numerous large industrial employers have shut down, some moving their operations to the United States.
Canadia has a carbon tax that is driving the price of everything up, including food. Every industry has to pay a carbon tax in proportion to the amount of energy they use. This is one of the factors making profitable operation in Canadia impossible.
“”Canadians know that our old, comfortable assumption that our geography and alliance memberships automatically conferred prosperity and security is no longer valid,” Carney said.”
BS. That just represents his opinion. When Canadians look at the globe the United States is certainly the elephant in the hemisphere and preferable to them than the Chinese and Russian elephants.
little China girl
Left wing jackoffs like him are destroying the world order.
Yeah we need a left wing Canada taking the lead. Right.
He wants a prison planet.
“Canadians know that our old, comfortable assumption that our geography and alliance memberships automatically conferred prosperity and security is no longer valid,” Carney said. You stupid shit ‘security’, you took that away when you took guns away.
Thanks for the ping.
Yep.
God bless you guys 🙏🙏🙏
😇😇😇
