Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney used a major address in Davos to argue that the world’s middle powers must band together to resist coercion from aggressive superpowers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/21/world/politics/carney-davos-rules-dead/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #canada #markcarney #us #donaldtrump #davos #greenland #nato
I think 🇨🇦 MP Mark Carney may be the first Western leader willing to look the monster straight in the eye.
If you want to move forward, you must first look back, understand where you came from, and where you no longer want to be.
And if you think that monster is the U.S., you’re mistaken: take off the Western lens and you’ll see what many outside the West already know…. the monster is us.

Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney speech at Davos. It was a good one. This is how he ended it, but it is worth watching in full, including the Q&A afterward.
“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 the most to gain from genuine cooperation.
The powerful have their power. But we have something too: the capacity to stop pretending, to name realities, to build our strength at home, and to act together.
That is Canada’s path. We choose it openly and confidently, and it is a path wide open to any country willing to take it with us.”

Mark Carney essentially said that the liberal rules based world order was a convenient lie everyone went along with because American hegemony opened up markets and sea lanes for them.
After decades in which the imperialist neoliberal order was not even questioned in the West, less than three weeks into it 2026, Canada, one of the biggest US vassals is saying this. 😆

Canada's developing plans to wage a guerrilla war against a US invasion, in case you are wondering how things are going in the NATO alliance.

as an #american, i encourage #canada, #mexico, #panama, #denmark, etc to put the biggest middle finger up to any and all #americans and #usa interests as you can
we deserve it
my only hope is #america can try to begin to recover some good will in 4 years time
but that's a long way away
for now, the hell is just starting
and to minimize the hell you need to push back on #trump bullshit as loudly and as forcefully as you can
show the spirit and brains too many americans lack

A sobering analysis of how the Canadian military would fare if #Trump tried to conquer #America’s 🇺🇸 northern neighbor.
The military would fall within 48 hours, & my guess it would take less than a month for the rest of Canada 🇨🇦 (the civilian population) to fall soon after.

Canadians should notice, in addition obviously to our country being part of the USA with Greenland (but not Mexico):
Our Prime Minister is literally not in the picture.
That is what he thinks of Canada, and Mark Carney. He thinks we are weak because our Prime Minister is weak.

This is real: 7 hours ago, Trump shared a fake image of himself talking to world leaders in front of a map of a new USA stretching from Greenland through Canada to Venezuela.

All right, folks, help me find other Newfoundlanders and Labradorians on here. Other Canadians? #Canada #Newfoundland #Labrador #NotTheDogs #WellMaybeTheDogs 😂
😡😡😡 #Trump does not even attempt to hide his imperial thirst!
Not only is he still focused on grabbing #Greenland 🇬🇱, but he wants to conquer #Canada 🇨🇦 as well.
It also appears he wants to upgrade #Venezuela 🇻🇪 from a vassal state to an American state. This is insane!
I am so glad the military declined his request to conquer Greenland 🇬🇱, as I suspect Canada 🇨🇦 would be next!
