Interesting and motivating read: "...the way we get Carney to live up to his Davos speech is by pouncing any time he even hints that he might go back on his word, poaching his voters by campaigning on a promise to live up the Carney Doctrine (even if Carney won't). Promising to live up to Carney's Davos speech (even if Carney won't) must be the central issue in every by-election and provincial race between now and the next federal election."

"We have ended the American era. And the prime minister of our closest ally, comparing us to the Athenians in the Melian dialogue and to the Soviet Communist Party in the writings of Vaclav Havel, has called us out from Davos. I just want to open this by saying don't blame Mark Carney. He's just telling the truth."

The Post-America Era

Listen now | Wherein Ben, Alicia Wanless, Tyler McBrien, and Eve Gaumond discuss Mark Carney's speech on Canadian-American relations.

^{Benjamin Wittes (Dog Shirt Daily)}

"It is irrevocably altering the world order, and only the proverbial ostrich with its head in the sand can continue to pretend that American hegemony is the benign force it has mostly been in the modern era."

Citing Canadian PM Mark Carney's Tyler McBrien and Benjamin Wittes note that the closest ally of the US is now comparing the US to the Soviets:

"Carney here is saying the quiet part out loud. Trumpism, or MAGA—as well as its cousins overseas—is not some aberration."

The Situation: Our Closest Ally Compares Us To The Soviets

Reading Prime Minister Carney’s Davos speech carefully

Hey #canada - Do you find it weird that our politicians are using US social media platforms to talk with Canadians?

Do you wish they’d get serious about protecting our digital sovereignty?
