Mark Carney Takes On Donald Trump and Emerges as a Global Political Star
The New York Times ^ | Jan. 24, 2026 | Ian Austen

During his many trips to the World Economic Forum as a central banker and later as an investment executive, Prime Minister Mark Carney made some significant deals, but always in private.

During his first trip as Canada’s prime minister to the annual gathering of billionaires, investors, chief executives and politicians, Mr. Carney stole the show.

I was in the group of journalists who traveled to Davos with Mr. Carney. We had been given the text of his speech under embargo to allow us draft reports of our articles that we would adjust to reflect the prime minister’s delivery.

As most of you know probably know by now, while Mr. Carney did not refer to President Trump by name, the speech took direct aim at the U.S. leader and his policies. After declaring that the United States had created an irrevocable “rupture” in the world order, Mr. Carney warned that nations like Canada would now have to ally for survival.

“The middle powers must act together, because if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu,” he said.

Lol. A tap dancing star. So far he has all the wrong moves. Canada continues to decline and the pace is accelerating.

I am sure he is a “star” with his fellow evil globalists.

To us? He is a Corny peon.

The USMCA agreement is up for renegotiation later this year, Mark Carney and Canada are in for a very rough time trying to renegotiate the deal.

Written on his way to Davos?: During his first trip as Canada’s prime minister to the annual gathering of billionaires, investors, chief executives and politicians, Mr. Carney stole the show.

A simple analogy will help everyone understand Carney and Canada in 2026

For Canada’s colonial masters in London-Davos, Mark Carney is Canada’s Vladimir Zelensky, the USA is Russia, and Trump is their Putin.

Will the London-Davos policy be to fight “to the last Canadian?” I doubt it and each situation is unique. But Canada will be used as a wedge and barrier in a generally similar context and format.

The naive impressions of a cub reporter, who doesn’t yet know the difference between a ‘star’ and a buffoon.

“Stole the show”, yeah, okay. Writing fantasy pieces, huh?

Emerges as a Global Political Star”

This is pathetic even for the NYT. Carney is destroying Canada as everyone knew he would. The Canadian people are doing nothing while this idiot sells the country out to China.

Only the NYT would think Carney is a star.

Like him or hate him, DJT has a long history of eating up the likes of Carney and spitting them out . . .

Carney's 15 minutes of fame could lead to the hastening of the secession of the western provinces.
