The Canadian prime minister spoke after returning from the World Economic Forum where he urged middle powers to team up in resisting President Trump.
When Mark Carney became Canada’s prime minister last year, he was known mostly as a technocratic central banker who had gone on to success in the world of global finance.
But when Mr. Carney returned this week from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, he was suddenly a global political star. The normally reserved audience at the annual gathering of billionaires, investors, chief executives and politicians rose in an exceptional standing ovation at the end of Mr. Carney’s rousing, 30-minute speech on Tuesday.
Mr. Carney was praised for his candid assessment of what he called an irrevocable “rupture” to the global order caused by President Trump, and for urging other middle powers to join Canada in charting a distinct path away from the world’s superpowers.
I wish all politicians where Meh instead of attention grabbing, narcissistic assholes
Those fair very poorly. I don’t know of a better system, but elections are kinda of a fucked up system.
