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.

"Mark Carney’s speech at Davos yesterday really is worth your time. It made some of the front pages today but the news cycle moves so fast that it’s already yesterday’s news. Part of the challenge of this moment - and I believe the job of journalists - is to focus on the signal, not the noise. And if you have time to take in one thing properly, this week, I’d suggest it’s this."

Mark Carney at Davos - 1

You may have seen the coverage of Mark Carney's speech at Davos, but if you haven't watched it in full then I would recommend sitting down for 18 minutes and listening to his decryption of the contemporary 'Rupture'.

Carney provides a powerful analysis of the world: the first & last thirds are vital listening if you are interested in International Relations & their contemporary character.

"When we only negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness. We accept what’s offered. We compete with each other to be the most accommodating. This is not sovereignty. It’s the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination. In a world of great power rivalry, the countries in between have a choice – compete with each other for favour, or combine to create a third path with impact."

The #MarkCarney speech is remarkable.

"It's a brilliant articulation of the new architecture that is going to frame the world going forward. So the days of the American hegemonic power, this from 1988 to today, this is the first day you heard the articulation from what was an ally saying America is no longer the lone superpower. It's over."

"We cannot simply carry on as if it’s business and normal. ...

We’ve been lucky through a golden age of peace and prosperity but as he so clearly articulates, that age is gone. Ahead lies [sic] dragons."

"Carney just gave the first speech today of the new global order as it exists. … He was the first major leader to say… America, the United States of America, is no longer a hegemon. We are in a multipolar world, a multilateral world, where the great powers, Russia, China, the United States of America, are finding their equilibrium through panic, fear, greed, & just the pursuit of all of the middle powers."

"It does what a great speech should do: it gives us the language to process and understand what is happening. It does so from a position of moral clarity. And it includes a call to action to what remains of the liberal world. ...

We can’t respond and act to this hugely consequential geopolitical moment if we are complicit in the denial of our leaders and media. This is a week in which the world we have known has swung on its axis."

“Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition. …more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons, tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.”
—Mark Carney

““We stand firmly with #Greenland and #Denmark and fully support their unique right to determine Greenland’s future.”
[…]

The power of the moment did not come from bravado. It came from certainty. Carney spoke as someone no longer seeking reassurance from Washington, no longer calibrating language to preserve the illusion of continuity. He spoke as the leader of a country that has accepted the rupture and is now organizing itself accordingly.“
