“I don’t recall listening to any speech… that had the analysis, clarity, foresight, honesty, erudition, political integrity and insight. It was a call to other middling powers to work together to choose between accepting compliant subjugation to great power hegemony, or working together to stand up against great power intimidation. Truly the best political speech I’ve heard in my lifetime, #Canada is so lucky to have such a man leading the country.”

Hi I’ve just watched the Mark Carney deliver a speech at Davos. I don’t recall listening to any speech, from any politician that had the analysis, clarity, foresight, honesty, erudition, political integrity and insight. It was a call to other middling powers to work together to choose between accepting compliant subjugation to great power hegemony, or working together to stand up against great power intimidation. Truly the best political speech I’ve heard in my lifetime, Canada is so lucky to have such a man leading the country. In this difficult time, I only wish UK current leadership could do half of that, instead of trying to placate the school bully; school bullies always come for your lunch money time and time again until you stand up to them, and with a little bit of help from the friends resistance completely.
