Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Well at least one politician gets it. I don't know if Canada will weather this well but at least they have a chance because they are facing reality. The GOP? Lost in a cult. The Dems? Chasing the dreams of billionaires while leaving us to fend for ourselves. That leaves *us* to face reality alone.

Took a long time to sink in: changing relationship with politicians & citizens, where truly no one is working on behalf of your citizens. Minneapolis is under attack by its own federal govt, occupied by ICE. #epsteinfiles : 3 decades of perversion, dozens of wealthy men involved, ALL suppressing it.

Carney is much more than a politician. He was Governor of the Bank of Canada for 5 years, a position he left to take over as Governor of the Bank of England, where he served for 7 years. So, when he starts talking about the world financial order, he might just know what he's talking about.

Trump has not only caused Canadian's suffering but immense suffering world wide. The destruction of USAID, as an example. We can sit on our hands and do nothing, or do what Canadians do best, roll up our sleeves. Trump's legacy isn't what he hopes. 🇨🇦👊🏻

We will have short-term pain. But I'm pretty convinced Carney has been globe-trotting quietly until now to build relationships and secure deals. It was the complete opposite of the 🍊 bravado to avoid attention and his ire.

THIS WEEK, Carney has been in China, Qatar and Davos. I guess having a marathon running PM means he has the stamina to do all that travel and not fall asleep at his own cabinet meetings! #StandWithGreenland #SlaveUkraini #CanadaStrong #FuckTrump

I can’t help but think the people saying these things are retirees or public servants. The majority of Canadians work for foreign entities who have no interest in patriotism. They do not accept uncertainty. The short term pain will last for a long time - and trade deal benefits are a long way away.

There are no major economies more intertwined on earth than Canada and the US. You couldn’t flip that switch in 20 years even if you had advance warning… it will be a disaster. But still might be necessary.

Says all of us Canadians with jobs and bank accounts and mortgages and welfare states who 100% depend on global, and mostly American, capital. We aren’t self sufficient and haven’t been for a century - but nobody else is, either. We all need fuel and medicines and food - interruption means hell.

I dont believe that for a minute Canada was quietly preparing for this because of what happened the last time donnie dumb fuck was in power...they have been quietly selling off american debt and circling the wagons and making deals with other countries..dont underestimate Canadians!

we will now be putin's bitch. for a decade we already deserve to be isolated in every hurtful ridiculous way by every former ally. but worry not trump voters, Israel has aided the US militarily zero times in combat before. I am sure it will do just as well when enemies bomb texas

Canadians see America clearly. We voted, twice, to make acting in bad faith American policy, because we believe lying and cheating is "smart" when we can get away with it. We voted, twice, to be bullies and thugs both abroad and at home. Canadians mourn our choice, but will not be bullied.

Anyone who did even a little research would have known that trump’s Lying, cheating, sexual predator, deadbeat, Lying, snake oil salesman, grifting con and thug characteristics. I did not vote for such a heinous con of a man. Ignorance won over. Also the Republicans are as much to blame as trump

No, most Americans did not vote for that.. People that voted for Trump voted for many different reasons. You can say the results of the votes did that, but not what they actually wanted. The polls right now are abysmal for him. Most Americans do not want this.

We can blame the broken american media, education, gerrymandering, and republicans systemically destroying the government since the 1960s - but we also blame the republican voters for voting him in and democrat voters for voting for a bunch of cowards who let him get away with it.

I thought I read that around 58% of Americans feel Trump has not done a good job in the last year. Sure, that's most Americans, but knowing 42% don't see what a bad job he's doing. That's the issue. The majority of Americans is not big enough.

He cheated to be elected. More than 50% of Americans don’t approve of this Crooked presidency. I understand and feel the same towards any person who still supports him. We need a No Confidence vote method!

Even after everything he has done, he still has a 40%(!) approval rating, which leaves the rest of the world shaking its head. This may actually have some validity 👇

For any / all to answer, please- Similar to 1930s, US is being guided by christo fascists Kevin Roberts, Alito, Leonard Leo.. Opus Dei Far right RCC Beyond that- indoctrinated evangelicals How do we the Secular contest the fanatical beliefs of the congregants? Pulpit, radio, podcasts 24/7

I have told the story about the difference between how 1812 is taught in the US vs. Canada multiple times in the past year. Americans don't get it...they think it was a "nothing war." For Canadians it is fundamentally about self-understanding. Americans will never, ever, get it.

Yet many Americans do see the situation clearly, and have since the beginning. And we applaud other nations' efforts to collectively fight back against Trump's tyranny. We hope they win because if they win, we win. Also, the self-talk about collective punishment is a bad look that serves no purpose.

It is terrifying to me all the destruction trump & the GOP have done in so little time. The list of damage is far to long to list & then then there are all the things he has probably done in the dark. The reconstruction will be immense & it will be a long road ahead & can we actually fully recover.

Democrats & Independents don’t “severely underestimate the damage” done. The media mocked Dems in 2024 for hauling out the Project 2025 book at the DNC convention to warn voters. Everyone saw how much damage DOGE and tariffs, wanting other countries did in 2025. MAGA-R’s in congress did this.

They didn't do it to warn voters. They didn't present a coherent principled platform respecting the urgency of the moment. They exploited the threat of fascism to try and push their donors' agenda. This is why they lost. Nobody believes in them because they present nothing to believe in.

We were already declining because of the mistakes we've made (failed wars; never really fixing healthcare; not investing in infrastructure, education, etc.). The path down was always going to be staccato, and Trump is a symptom of the disease, not the source.

This is still an Americano-centric perspective. Yes, the US affects the entire planet. But the planet affects the US too. Actually, the US was the primary beneficiary of the post WWII global order. You're like the fish destroying its own aquarium.

It's unfortunate for the US but true. 70m thought that this was a good idea and voted for it. Can happen again so people have moved on. The upside? New global leadership have stepped up, and forged wider, deeper relationships based on win win.

And one of the dumbest persons who ever existed (plus already with dementia), is the one that’s breaking it all. Yay! The power of propaganda... a portion of US was duped (twice! 🤦‍♀️), but it’s not the only country that has fallen for it. Hopefully those who don’t vote will this time, if it happens.

Americans have a hard time seeing anything beyond their own borders. It’s what has allowed them to live in their centrist world for so long. Propaganda has always been a powerful tool and the US uses it well.

There are literally liberals who still argue that there's not a genocide in Gaza, a thing that's basically not even a debate in any country except Israel. There are many ways in which we're propagandized, and it's our completely bipartisan-owned decline.

A lot of Americans seem to forget that other countries get to play their cards too and because so many of them are ignorant about the wider world, they don’t recognise the cards others hold.

The WORLD’S DUMBEST, most sued, corrupt, criminal, conman, LECHEROUS, common, petty, geriatric TODDLER DELINQUENT has cost the country, businesses, and citizens UNTOLD amounts of money for YEARS to come… While he, billionaires, syndicate, and family STRIP America clean like Piranhas!!

For everyone praising Carney, there is an admission of complicity in what he said here. IOW, we all went along, preferring not to poke the beast, letting it run roughshod in many cases, until it came for all of us, not just the few. And the few happens to include the actual planet we live on.

I'm not that technically versed so I can't really define what "global economic integration" or whatever really means. All I know is America has sure used its economic "influence" on the world as a weapon for quite a while. Certainly not a recent development.

66 Commonweath nations incl Canada are yoked to USD 1. dump USD bonds now! 2. Euro? Too pricey for U.S. vassal states. 3. Canada has critical minerals. Let's nationalize our mining! Sell 🇨🇦 Bonds secured by physical assets! The deficit credit rating relies only on pay debt interest on time #cdnpoli

My Grandad in 1971 owned a Shell gas franchise in Ontario. The year USD became reserve currency. He was from Cleveland. "What do you call Canada?" "Puerto Rico of the North" #cdnpoli

With Trump it started in his first term with "national security" tariffs and other heavy-handed actions. But Pierre Trudeau compared the relationship to being in bed with an elephant decades ago.

Why does that sound like a bunch of Chinese talking points, tho? The rest of our allies understood that these trade policies are unpopular in the United States itself, and this is still a democracy, so these policies could change with the administration change. The PM doesn't seem to get that?

There's lawsuits literally still working thru the courts of businesses & states challenging the policy. Congress voted several times on this, tho Republicans tanked it bc they have the majority. Reputure is a premature assessment. The language sounds like could be written by CCP's foriegn ministry.

We cannot count on you righting the ship. We do not trust you. You’ve always bullied to varying degrees to varying nations, and too many nations went along to get along, and it was okay for some of us for a while (never all of us). No more. It doesn’t serve us. You=US; not you personally.

Wow- shots fired. Well done Carney. The adults in the room are calling it like it is.Laying bare the truth of what that orange menace is actually doing.Making it clear, Canada is no longer blind to the threats our allegiance is producing.Done!That's the message.We're done. It's a nicely said "F you"

We’re not done with American trade entirely. How could we be when the economies are closely linked? We have a PM who capable & knows we must diversify economic alliances so we rely less on 🇺🇸. No other alternative with Trump at the helm. There will be many new deals.

I hurt for the lives lost fighting wars beside our allies. For that friendship and respect to be thrown out for greed and corruption. These are horrible and dark days. To be destroyed by a conman and his greedy followers.

Trump doesn’t think that international law applies to him! The world 🌎 hasn’t been this unstable since WWII… America is no longer the “good guys”! At least Europe still believes in world peace ☮️, cuz our President sure doesn’t!

it's amazing to me how many people feel qualified to comment on and criticize this guy... with his credentials AND experience... and not knowing all the peripheral facts and influences he would. And then I look at what the conservatives offer as an 'alternative'... Wow. 😬

To the world. We (those of us with a brain) here in America, fault none of our allies for doing what you have to do in the face of our current administration. We are trying to remove the problem (Trump and his goons). Once that’s been fixed we will try and make it up to you for a united future.

Thank G-d for Canada, France, Germany and the UK, among other countries in this batshit anti-NATO stumpy reign in the US. Just thank G-d. Now if we could just get one very specifically placed lightening bolt. Just one.

Too large a portion of Americans have fully bought into the Prosperity Gospel mythology...and now we have completely turned over governance of the United States to people of extreme wealth.

I think he is just pointing out how much of American debt is owned by NATO countries, there is leverage against this madness. It it comes at a cost, which is arguably higher economically for America than the rest…

But the 80 year old orange plated child who shits himself daily demands so much attention...

All the greedy oligarchs that wanted it all are now about to lose everything. They could have used all that wealth to make the world a better place for everyone. But instead their souls have been consumed by greed so much they will never see that all they are doing is destroying their own future.

PM Carney at Davos is pure statesmanship—calm, smart, and measured. In uncertain times, leadership must be steady and principled. He stresses Canada’s role in a shifting world, global partnerships, collective security, and pragmatic cooperation. Couldn't be more proud of him

Carney has seen that with the US withdrawing from it's leadership role, others are moving in to fill the vacuum. States must move quickly to realign with trusted partners and not be picked off one by one.

Well, the thing is, the lunatic isn't who he's talking to. He's talking to everyone else in the room: what are we going to do about this threat? Orange man isn't the only person with the ability to choose or to act--which I think is Carney's biggest point.

After watching the interview, I realize that it’s not so much Carney defying Trump as it is putting T in his place, a less prominent place- just a temporary leader of one of many countries with which other countries can interact. Such clarity of thought and expression is rare in our current world.

We have reverted back to times when brute strength was the sole attribute admired & where civility & wisdom were ridiculed. I have no doubt his speech was received with smirks from the despots who likely thought ‘who gives a fu*! about your noble speech little boy, step aside or be crushed’

I want Amazon, Microsoft and Google to pay the same taxes European companies pay to operate in Europe. Enough is enough. Our companies can’t compete when they’re at such a disadvantage. This should never have been allowed. US multinationals are destroying the world we know.

Next yes Encircled by what? We can start WW3, but we’re not taking Greenland & a war wi Canada will be our defeat We will have no allies, no trade, & no external bases The whole discourse is stupid

And do what??? Europe will close like a giant sphincter. We will have no European military base. we will have no trading partner The pacific nations will ostracize US We are not self sustaining We do not have the infrastructure to self sustain The US $ will become worthless This is asinine

Canada is now the leader of the free world, along with most of Europe. Carney’s mic-drop speech sends a clear message: the moral/ethical/democratic centre of the world has changed for the better. No one will miss US hegemony. USA: don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out. Just fuck off.

We know and I feel for all the ones who voted for Kamala...you don't deserve this. However, he represents all of you at the world table. Sadly, we also don't feel you are doing enough to change things. There is like what 350 million of you. Your country is being destroyed from within

Great speech. If only all leaders could speak this honestly about what is happening in the world today. His description of Canada put us in stark contrast with the gangster regime in the US. I also learned a new word: Hegemony.

Mark Carney can start talking about the Epstein files. Trump would rather burn down the world rather than release them. The files are at the core of Canada's problem.

Go to YouTube and watch the entire speech. It is very clear headed and lays out very clearly why the damage Trump has done can’t be undone. Listening to Carney is also a reminder of how idiotic Trump and the GOP leaders are.

Here’s the text version for those that prefer the transcript: bsky.app/profile/jj-c...

“…but we have something too - the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home, & to act together. That’s Canada’s path, we choose it openly & confidently & it’s a path wide open to any country willing to take it with us.” www.policymagazine.ca/the-old-orde...

He's of course 100% correct, nothing would be the same after this USA president . Those who we hold as close friends no longer are and those who we thought to be enemies will become allies.

So proud to be Canadian and proud of our Prime Minister. He is the right man for the right job at the right time. WEF agrees - they gave him a standing ovation!❤️🇨🇦

Agree, except the part about the Chinese EV deal being controversial. This was a re-set of previous policy, Cda went along w/ USA w/ 100% tariffs in 2024! Unfortunately most of the decisions we’ve made w/ USA have damaged us. In 2024 55,000 Chinese Tesla’s came into Cda & buyers recd a govt subsudy

Hopefully those upset about the China deal heard Carney when he talked about the "depth" of relationships - He's going to calibrate, make deals, but be cautious while he's pragmatic.

Thank the stars he’s ours & clearly knows how to deal with the toddler squatting in the WH. Carney doesn’t fear retaliation from the delusional one & has no problem leaving the US behind if it’s in Canada’s best interests. Clearly it is.

Carney knows Canada has his back on the decisions he makes. We may not agree on them all but this is a reset and unprecedented in Canada within our lifetime. The Canadian population need to continue the boycott of all American goods and travel in order to assist in his endeavours.

Carney is such a smart operator and Trump and his cronies are as dumb as stumps next to him. They did not plan for Canada to outsmart them and Carney is doing it with style. Its been amazing to witness and long time over due.

Canada frankly should lean into fracturing the US into blue states that contribute to overall GDP and red states that bite the nipple they suckle on. Fold the blue states into Canada, using Canada's rules and constitution. Never been a better opportunity than right now. Call it a "reverse Greenland"

The Canadians have it right- dear EU, STOP trying to appease the unappeasable! It doesn't work! We're not dealing with transition- we're dealing with a rupture. The Italians have a word for it BASTA!!!

I am on X as well and my fingers hurt from replying to the CDN MAGA. I think half of them are bots operating in Canada b/c they simply parrot trump and MAGA accounts.

That is an incredible statement. Unfortunately no one in Maga will understand it, but the rest of us do. Good on Prime Minister Carney. GO Canada! This American is rooting for you and the rest of Nato.

The world must not capitulate to American evils. Meanwhile, this American will gratefully capitulate to a Canadian takeover. I'm ready to be Canadian. I've seen every episode of Letterkenny.

Todays Donald Trump (47th President of the United States) is not the same Donald Trump that was elected into office as the 45th President of the United States of America. Today's Donald Trump is the product of 10 years of incessant abuse at the hands of vicious anti- democratic Democrates. Khama

Would love to see more leaders stand up and say this. No more appeasement. It’s time for solidarity and to give those with the power to impeach and remove trump and his administration no choice but to do it.

🤬🤬🤬🤬 YOU NEED TO MAKE LOCAL LAWS ON VOTING RECOUNTS! YOU NEED TO VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT! YOU NEED TO STAND IN LINE! IF YOUR USING MAIL IN VOTING TAKE TO POST OFFICE PERSONALLY AND HAVE THEM STAMP THE DATE IN FRONT OF YOU! 🤬🤬🤬 NOW WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE! PLEASE RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Absolutely. I've felt like responses from democratic leaders have had us all drowning in pablum. This was an excellent speech. Not just in articulation, but in the paths it is evoking for others to follow. It is, in form and substance, one of best pieces of good news we've seen in some time.
