The world is facing a moment of significant upheaval. The United States threatens to derail the global economy. Great powers like China and Russia are making aggressive moves in the Arctic and in Asia. War engulfs Europe and the Middle East. The crisis in the international system is unlike anything Canada has seen since the Second World War.
Enter Mark Carney into the political sphere. Mr. Carney brings a unique perspective as a former central banker who managed major economic crises. Now he is making a robust argument for a new and principled kind of Canadian leadership on the world stage, one where Canada wins the major competitions of the 21st century and leads the world.
This is wishful thinking. How is Canada going to get other countries to do what Canada wants?
That is what these fluff pieces can never answer.
Meh, it’s just more of Trudeau’s failed neoliberalism with a fresh coat of paint which has gotten us into this state in the first place …
The sooner the liberal/rules-based order camp understands that the world operates based on tribalism rather than rational economics, the closer they’ll become to understanding the ‚truth‘ of this world …
They don’t even pretend whom they’re gonna support in the upcoming election.
I’m being honest canada can’t do anything without USA support. Nothing means nothing. Especially when power dinamic shifting to indo pacific
i’m all for reducing our dependence on the states and protecting our sovereignty, but let’s swallow some of the poison and just acknowledge that this is not a situation in which a golden age is heralded in under *ANY* circumstances. this is a country leaving the golden age in question, and carney’s qualifications are only going to go so far in dampening it. i have almost no doubts he’s the best option for these circumstances, but i have no optimistic outlook for the future of canada too.
divesting from a country we are so closely integrated with in pretty much every conceivable aspect has to cause a huge shock for our country’s economy. our coveted auto industry is already being crucified, and while oil will always be valuable, our entire industry has been constructed to feed straight into america.
the entire process of building a pipeline from alberta to the atlantic will almost definitely take longer than trump’s entire term. shipping it through BC is already done with the TMX, although *everyone* is clamouring for energy east.
our number one sector is *real estate,* and we have had a can-kicked housing crisis bubble complicating things. our oil/mining/extraction is *eleventh.* immigration has been shielding our not-so-secret recession, and we don’t have space for immigrants.
i would like to hear from economists how we could simultaneously unfuck our housing without crashing the, economy *while* diversifying to non-american trade partners for everything we used to get cheap. even with 9 out of 10 americans supporting canada, it’s just hard to believe we’re going to come out in a good, let alone better shape by pivoting away from our biggest partner.
Hard disagree. Carney has done nothing but pick fights with the 1 country Canada needs. Trump may have started it, but Carney’s stance and reaction is guaranteed to leave Canada worse off.
Do i think carney is smarter than a lot of world leaders in economics? Probably. At least his qualifications say so. Does that actually apply? Probably not. Do I think a lot of countries have some shared agenda to try to detach at least a little bit from the US and diversify trade and their investments? Also yes. So, Canada has the opportunity to do it, but will it actually accomplish said task? That is the big question.
If by global success you mean selling Canada out to the CCP while spending us into oblivion sure. You’re probably right.
I’m sure his penchant for lying to us will help as well.
