"Today I will talk about a rupture in the world order, the end of a pleasant fiction and the beginning of a harsh reality, where geopolitics, where the large, main power, geopolitics, is submitted to no limits, no constraints.
On the other hand, I would like to tell you that the other countries, especially intermediate powers like Canada, are not powerless. They have the capacity to build a new order that encompasses our values, such as respect for human rights, sustainable development, solidarity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the various states.
. . .Over the past two decades, a series of crises in finance, health, energy and geopolitics have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration. But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons, tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited.
You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration, when integration becomes the source of your subordination.
The multilateral institutions on which the middle powers have relied – the WTO, the UN, the COP – the architecture, the very architecture of collective problem solving are under threat. And as a result, many countries are drawing the same conclusions that they must develop greater strategic autonomy, in energy, food, critical minerals, in finance and supply chains.
And this impulse is understandable. A country that can't feed itself, fuel itself or defend itself, has few options. When the rules no longer protect you, you must protect yourself.
. . .We are taking the sign out of the window. We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn't mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy, but we believe that from the fracture, we can build something bigger, better, stronger, more just. This is the task of the middle powers, the countries that have the most to lose from a world of fortresses and most to gain from genuine cooperation.
The powerful have their power.
But we have something too – the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home and to act together." - Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of England, January 20, 2026, Davos.
Donald Trump is an awful salesman, because had he approached the Canadian public with respect and a little more decorum his offer to make Canada a territory of the United States would have been better received. Instead he produced insults, talking about Canada as a possible 51st state.
There existed a political opening to unite the two countries into one political and economic system, which would be beneficial for both.
The perverted clown fumbled.
Trump's America is a slave state. We know that. The dollar won't be king forever. But at least freedom of speech is rhetorically defended by American politicians.
Canadian politicians are making dangerous statements regarding free speech. They want Canadians to shut up, and not protest as Canada goes down the drain.
Carney's Canada is a not a country but a massive failing social experiment. We are ruled by cultic leftist ideologues who are implementing eugenics, transgender ideology, mass migration, and in the near future, a social credit system.
The communists and bankers in charge are keeping the country artificially poor, taxing it to death, because in their twisted minds sustainable development is not possible without mass poverty.
