Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, resonated in Mexico, a country which, much like Canada, has also been forced to grapple with the mercurial temperament of its much larger and powerful U.S. neighbour.
Carney’s speech was “in tune with the current times,” said Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, during her morning news conference Wednesday, in response to a Davos-related question from a journalist.
“That was a very good speech by Carney, from Prime Minister Carney, I don’t know if you heard it.”
Carney said during his speech that the illusion of a rules-based international order had finally vanished and that middle-power countries faced a choice to either “compete with each other for favour or combine to create a third path.”

That speech single handedly propelled us up on the global stage. Lots of praise from both the left and right.

Being a prime minister is more than just nice speeches. Carney hasn’t done anything good for Canada. I was very excited to see how Carney would do but he’s been useless.

Mexico president keeps protecting the cartels saying they are not terrorist because they don’t attack the government… she is the worst!

Big fancy speech. However only the one bill has been passed by Carney. Food inflation is over 6%, the highest in the G7. Companies are moving south. Layoffs. Hardly any movement on major projects. Sky high deficits. Good job.

I don’t trust the Mexican president. She’s already thrown Canada under the bus to get a better deal from the USA.

I wonder if he is trying to complete a union of nations. Something like Reagan claimed would be possible with an alien threat. The “New World Order,” that Only an alien threat would cause. Except the alien threat we are facing in the modern world is possibly another nation. It’s scary times.

Mexico would readily sacrifice Canada’s interests if doing so secured a better trade deal with the United States.
Mexico’s priorities are fundamentally different from Canada’s. In fact, for several years, Mexican labour costs have been roughly 25% lower than those in China. Wages in Mexico are simply not comparable to those in Canada.

Mark Carney crushed it!!!! I am a proud Canadian and the orange turd is no longer relevant in our conversations with other nations. Sit down and shut up, the adults are speaking.

Why was the Governor General in Mexico? They are supposed to be the representative of the crown IN CANADA. They have no authority outside the country, and we have elected representatives who should be discussing aboriginal items with Mexico.
