Canada PM Mark Carney gets standing ovation at Davos as he warns of world order 'rupture'

Source: Independent

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney received a standing ovation at Davos Tuesday as he warned that “the old order is not coming back.”

Carney spoke at the World Economic Forum, insisting the world order based on rules has become “fiction” and stressing the need for smaller countries to forge new alliances.

"If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules and values for the unhindered pursuit of their power and interests, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate," Carney said, without mentioning President Donald Trump or the U.S.

“We understand that this rupture calls for more than adaptation. It calls for honesty about the world as it is,” he continued.

Now Carney needs to follow up his words by sending some Canadian troops to Greenland, and selling off some US treasury bonds.

…but if Carney is smart, he’ll also have troops ready to go to the US/Canada border. Don’t think Trump won’t try the same. He will.

It hasn't worked before.

Is trying to play on both sides. This is the kind of stuff that I find just fucking frustrating. Talk all that shit about how horrible he is than placate him and justify his actions by playing into his insanity.

Canadians should be embarrassed right now, watching their government kiss this warmongering psychopath's ass while he creates a multi-billion dollar slush fund to murder Palestinians and steal their land to turn it into a playground for his billionaire buddies.
