🇨🇦PM Carney just schooled our cowardly European leaders at #Davos. This speech was clearly aimed at them: "We must actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be." "What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth? First it means naming reality..." (🧵1/6)

🇨🇦PM Carney: "...Stop invoking rules-based international order as though it still functions as advertised. Call it what it is: a system of intensifying great power rivalry where the most powerful pursue their interests using economic integration as coercion." (🧵2/6)

I agree with this. So frustrating to hear world leaders talk about “dialogue“ with a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and lifelong con-artist about rules and treaties Do the only thing he understands—punch him in the mouth! We will all hurt for a while, but maybe this 🐂💩 finally stops

While I agree in principle, we need to take into account that he commands the world's strongest military force which shows no reservations about following his orders AND the world's biggest economy which also seems fine with following his lead. So we operate with absolutely zero internal US support

🇨🇦PM Carney: "It means acting consistently, applying the same standards to allies and rivals. When middle powers criticize economic intimidation from one direction but stay silent when it comes from another, we are keeping the sign in the window." (🧵3/6)

"It means building what we claim to believe in, rather than waiting for the old order to be restored. It means creating institutions and agreements that function as described, and it means reducing the leverage that enables coercion." (🧵4/6)

🇨🇦PM Carney: "Diversification internationally is not just economic prudence; it’s a material foundation for honest foreign policy, because countries earn the right to principled stands by reducing their vulnerability to retaliation." (🧵5/6)

Did he? So what tariffs and punitive measures did Carney impose on the US? 25% on steel products, as the Europeans imposed a 50% tariff. They allow some Chinese EV's in, on which a 100% tariff was imposed before. The Europeans never imposed those tariffs. Do the Canadians hit American Tech? No!

Except he still won't use the "G" word. Israeli Holocaust Scholars have been calling THE PALESTINIAN GENOCIDE the "G" word for over a year. Carney wants the world to care about Cdn sovereignty, but not Palestinian sovereignty? Cdn here. We care about both or neither.

There ars two things to remember here: (1) Greenland wants to continue under the care and management of Denmark. It is an expression of consent-of-the-governed. (2) Palestine does not want any involvement with ZIONAZIS of any flavor, not British ones like Balfour, and not American ones like Biden.

I am not suggesting that Canada is on the hook to give back to Palestinians what Britain and America stole from them. I am saying that we need to be morally consistent in not impeding consent-of-the-governed to take root. We need to arrest the murderers when they come home from murdering.

The UK (you Sir Kier), the Commonwealth Realms and wider Commonwealth together with the European Union must unite and oppose tyranny; the most immediate of which is the United States and Russian Federation variety. Though we're looking at you too China. Britain is free or nought.

Carney with the hard truth we should hope the rest of the west grasps and acts on. Being an American dependent on other countries leaders to control ours is not new - see Iraq - but it's us who need the saving, not some 3rd world target. This trip to the gutter will take years to fix.

So, include each human being on the planet equally in a globally standard process of fixed cost money creation. Make Wealth and megalomaniacs irrelevant. Pay them off and get on with an inclusive system of abundance. Ignoring it is going to make you look stupid, or complicit

#MarkCarney - great speech based on his excellent analysis of both world politics and the implications of ‘rupture’ in World order, largely caused by #DonaldTrump. Far from putting European Leaders to shame, it was a prescription for unity with underlying message that Trump is hurting America.

Some of us. The CPC still has 142 seats. Though I think they'd lose more if there were an election tomorrow, especially if Poilievre were still leader.

And I wouldn't be surprised if Poilievre is secretly colluding with BRICS countries, esp India, to do that. It's clear from the bot activity on Twitter that Poilievre and the Cons have a bot army, too. Anyone who posts anything critical of PP, and the bots swarm them. Some of it's really vile.

indeed im glad the liberals won... even if i didn't vote specifically for there party. i can say that im proud to be Canadian, im proud of what our nation stands for. we might not always get it right, gods only know we have our own issues here at home... but still im proud. 🥲🇨🇦

You are, first, going after it even if not wholly ‘getting it’. You are embracing those values so many have spent so much heart and treasure to honor and uphold. For instance, “home of the brave” is a wild misnomer. A punchline, a ‘self-own’. 80% are abhorred by ICE: yet thousands hurt and many die.

He could do with coming to Australia also. Our Prime minister @albomp.bsky.social aka Capt Capitulation is proving to be a coward repeatedly and kowtows to the USA and all vested interests eg fossil fuel industry like a good little lapdog. Latest Ct Capitulation stunt to the Zionists. Pathetic

Well when you consider that well over 4 billion people are just normal folks with the same values and 500 million of the insane asylum just do the math. We don’t really need any rocket scientists or media to tell us what to do. We just need leaders with a spine

The Canadians have it right- dear EU, STOP trying to appease the unappeasable! It doesn't work! Move on! This isn't about dealing with transition- that ship has sailed. This is a rupture. The Italians have a word that encapsulates being fed up at this kaleidoscope of chaos - BASTA!!!

Cowardly?? Ukraine fighting for four years? Finland with a mighty army in the longest land border with Russia? Denmark who lost hundreds of soldiers in Iraq? Uk sending arms to Ukraine? Sweden joining NATO for the first time? You might want to moderate your language there Dave.

He's been a coward with Trump since Day 1. You seem to be missing that he's not the man we thought we elected. Sure, he can put together a great speech. But his actions rarely match his words. If he wants Canadians to trust him, he has to stop sucking up to Trump at every opportunity.

It’s no longer black and white. We are going to have to learn to live in shades of grey. Our number one mission as Canadians is to take care of each other. Let’s make sure our neighbourhoods are full of love and caring. If we can’t fix our own neighbourhoods, we can’t fix anyone else’s. ☮️

Such a good, intelligent man. Canada is lucky. I am hoping Canada, Europe, the Nordic Countries & the UK will join to create NACE: North Atlantic Community Economic Economic partnership, security alliance if needed. Protects Greenland’s sovereignty, deter US aggression, preserve democratic values.

Lee Kwon Yew's insights validate Carney Doctrine as a timeless strategy for middle powers, urging proactive realism amid China's ascent to foster a sustainable, equitable, and value-oriented world Singapore's success offers practical blueprints - adapt, engage, and balance of not "on the menu"

excuse my lapse - Lee Kuan Yew

Hey, don't diss the Europeans! Listen to Macron's talk and note that e.g. the EU has signed an agreement with Merocur and is talking to India about another great cooperation. I totally agree with Carney and the whole world is teeming up against the big bad boys USA, China and Russia. Fuck 'em!

God I hope not. We were dangerously close to it before Trudeau stepped down. We got unbelievably lucky when that happened and Carney stepped up to fill the gap. Thankfully his popularity is so high (and PP's so low) that I can't see any future path for him. Say, isn't PP's leadership review soon? 😜

"Nostalgia is not a strategy" - another aphorism from a speech packed with them. All without bullying, self-aggrandisement or lies. I so hope that this speech will have such an effect on listeners near and far that it will have a status as one of the most powerful speeches ever.

This was a brilliantly written and delivered address. It was clear, concise, successfully identified problems and proposed difficult but practical solutions. The best speech I have heard in years.

It grinds my gears, especially when he blatantly told them Brexit was a terrible idea and they did it anyway and he was stuck mopping up their impossible mess.

I wish we had a leader like the Canadian Prime Minister in America. As an American I look to him for International guidance. I totally support his stance on Orange Adolf.

Trump will stop all US companies from selling energy or anything else to Europe or Canada for that matter because he is the King of the Divided States. Congress has done NADA with the scaredy cat Republican majority.

Article II, Section 4 authorizes Congress to impeach & remove the President, VP & all civil Officers of the US, from Office: Impeachment for, & Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes & Misdemeanors.

Love this for you Canada. He’s correct, this romantic notion that the world order we’ve known since post-WWII can hold if we just believe in it is ridiculous. Good for Carney for calling it out and demanding pragmatism. If only Albanese could find the same courage. #auspol #davos #ocanada

Hey @albomp.bsky.social which group are you in?..the one where you kowtow and deliver our sovereignty or the one where you stand up for us and keep our sovereignty. So far, it seems you are Capt Capitulation, willingly giving away our sovereignty and paying a motza for this so called privilege.

Canada has a population of 41 million. Wyoming has a population of 580,000 and 2 US Senators. If Yrump offets to add Canada as 70 US states with a combined 140 US Senators, I think you should take the deal.

Everyone is lumping China in with US and Russia, I can’t see what China have ever done to deserve this, the thing I see is the US demonising China because they need an enemy to fund their war machine, Russia clearly isn’t up to it so China has become the new enemy. Only because they outperform US

Tonight it sounds like North America, particularly California and Canada, want Europe and the UK to stick their collective necks out and tell DJT to do one. Sounds like a good idea to me. It’s time they all got off the fence together before they are pushed.

Thanks for typing it all out - it was a call out… brutal in its honesty, although I thought to citizens as well. I feel so proud as a Canadian. He said how many of us are feeling.

But didn't Carney cave on Boeing contracts, new non-US alliances, hitting targeted US sectors with counter-tariffs, etc? Or did he finally follow through? Just seemed like he talked big for awhile, then also bent the knee.

That was Pierre Trudeau level statesmanship. The standing ovation was the icing on the cake. Hopefully the EU will see that trying to be buddy-buddy with America is no longer yielding any positive results.

TBF Canada did this before in the 1800s. When the US tried to bully Canada then...they sold their stuff elsewhere using boats 🚢. I reckon those still exist!.Elbows Up!

I remember being at a wedding in Florida.. ( Mixed Brit & Canadian families) Some Americans there started being uptight & a bit rude with the Brits....The Canadians put them in a bin. Top work. :-).

No he didn't school Europe. It was his frank assessment of the world as he sees it. He said middle powers cant go alone, they need to unite. Carney’s Davos speech was influential and blunt in diagnosing global geopolitical shifts, but it wasn’t an aggressive lecture targeting Europe.

The sad thing is Americans. Including Dems, are missing the whole point that Pax Americana is over. For a 🇨🇦 PM to get up and say that a Davos is incredibly scary. We have has low grad peace and prosperity for decades because of the USA. Now what?

That peace ended a year ago. Our PM is just the first leader to acknowledge it out loud. The sooner the rest get on board the better life will be for us all.

European leaders need to respond to this without a doubt.The speech will have to be dumbed down for Trump to even start to comprehend it. There’s an intellectual chasm between them.

Carney looks good, elbows up Canadians, your cousins down under are jealous of the leadership. BTW thanks for lending us your firefighters in your off season. We'll return the favour in your summer.

2025 was a terrible forest fire year in Canada - here in Manitoba fires like never before. Thanks to global friends for helping out! Many from Australia came to support 

As someone who was evacuated because of fires last summer, I hope you're right, because we will probably need them again. Manitoba was an absolute disaster last summer, we were very lucky in my community to get away with only some smoke damage and being displaced.

I feel for you, i live in Victoria which is very fire prone, we had a village wiped out just last week, lucky to have only 1 death (many near misses) but we remember black Saturday well, it happened not to far from here and the death toll was high. We saw the Manitoba fires on TV. Elbows up!

I was watching American MSM & listening to their radio, as well. They've completely left Canada out of the discussion, have not once mentioned Carney, this speech or anything re Canada's role. They fixated on Macron & Uk's responses instead. With particular focus on France which has it's own Nukes

He was schooling the fascist alliance IDU, Trump, Harper, Putin & the rest of those fascist fcks! The EU & UK are behind Carney! You rarely see a standing applause at a Davos convention, as Starmer noted at the end of Carney's speech. Carney is the leader we need for the Free world.

Russia is just a puppet for a shadow bank I call “Autocracy Ick.”! The only way to finance the Debt is to rob all the countries in the Western Hemisphere!

I've always been proud to be Canadian but in recent months, that has become even stronger. Being able to speak truth to power and understanding that dependence on any one source for support/trade/protection is absolute insanity. tRump wanted America First. What he gets is America Alone.

Very wise words by Carney. The EU and Canada are important allies. Don't knock down the EU too much and put Canada on too high of a pedestal. I'm Canadian and I admire the many great things about the EU. Rules based capitalism is the goal to always strive to. Keep removing the bad politicians!

PM Carney is far too smart to school the european leaders but what he said is 100% right said in the right forum at the right time. Pres. Macron has also warned that the world is headed for a world without rules.also right time right place and 100% right. No euro leader talking bout rolling over..

In my opinion, the US needs to be criticized. I'm an American citizen, and I'm totally ashamed of the government of oligarchs and chuckleheads. Trump is a blight on our nation and we need to learn from this and prevent it from happening again.

You don't have a clue what you are talking about, Canada is working closely with the EU to build a new NATO like force to replace the existing NATO that your pedophile neighbors just blew up. I am not interested in ignorant replies so don't bother.

The democratic countries of the world that still uphold the rule of law and the inviolability of national sovereignty must form a new military, economic and political alliance as a counter to BRICS, Trump's America, Russia and China. The EU, UK, Norway, Canada, Australia and New Zealand must start.

Well spoken by Carney. Perhaps Trump will need to go to war with Canada, Greenland and the whole of Europe including the UK to have his demands. He should be given the very cold shoulder in Davos. Goodbye special relationship.

He is our Wartime Prime minister like Churchill was to the UK. We've surged in our nationalism under him. Even our opposition parties are Lukewarm to oppose him for his global-trotting making deals and strengthening relationships. Fuck America, we can't trust them as allies anymore.

We will see if the rest of the west will put it's dignity above inevitable economic crash/jobs losses/poverty. I have a bad feeling that this is a trap...

We can all carry this forward by confronting Trump over and over and over again with his lies. He has no interest in peace, no interest in border security. His only interest :greed. He hopes Greenland can be exploited by his side for unbridled greed. #EndExploitation #RegulateGreed

Clearly aimed at Keir Starmer, gormless UK PM who has been actively trying to secure a sweetheart deal for his country while leaving everyone else to dangle in the wind. Shame on Starmer, the Neville. Chamberlain of his age. And his reward for ass-kissing? Trump called him stupid today.

Proud Canadian here. So grateful to have him to lead us. Unfortunately, we do have the 'Maple Maga' that don't listen to a word and just spout slogans. They are a loud minority though and as we progress and build, there will be less.

Some EU Leaders must ARREST AND TRY the fucking NAZIS running this goddamned COUNTRY. This is NOT the Country I took an OATH to protect. I SERVED THE CONSTITUTION NOT THE FUCKING ORANGE PEDOPHILE NAZI BASTARD CURRENTLY SQUATTING IN OUR WHITE HOUSE!!!

Should the time come in the US that those nut jobs want to start deploying, hopefully those that took their oath to serve the constitution & country - do just that! Send in the MAGATs! Those fkn dummies won’t know what hit ‘em & fastest finish to all this insanity too!! 🤪🤡

My husband, an economist, just finished Carney's book, Values, and was greatly impressed. We're jealous [embarrassed and sad] for the U.S. because we don't have someone as brilliant, educated, humble, and trustworthy as him running our country.

In #Davos on Monday, PM Carney declared the global order in "rupture" amidst weaponized #trade. Facing this reality, Canada is embracing strategic autonomy and values-based realism, leading middle powers toward a more honest, multi-aligned future. My take: bigtrendsguy.medium.com/from-the-fra...

bigtrendsguy.medium.com“From the fracture, we can build something better, stronger, and more just”In a world of rising fortresses and weaponized trade, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at Davos today signals the end of…
