Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada delivered a stark speech in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday, prompting global political and corporate leaders in the audience to rise from their seats for a rare standing ovation.
He described the end of the era underpinned by United States hegemony, calling the current phase “a rupture.” He never mentioned President Trump by name, but his reference was clear.
The speech came as President Trump doubled down on his threats to take Greenland away from Denmark, saying he would slap fresh tariffs on European powers as punishment for their support of Greenland’s sovereignty.
Global leaders have been scrambling to find a unified response.
“Every day we’re reminded that we live in an era of great-power rivalry,” Mr. Carney said. “That the rules-based order is fading. That the strong can do what they can, and the weak must suffer what they must.”
And he warned, “The middle powers must act together because if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.”
He would know.
Mr. Trump started his second presidential term making claims on Canada as the 51st state and threatening Canada’s previous leader, Justin Trudeau, whom Mr. Trump publicly derided, with unilaterally scrapping agreements that have governed the relationship between the neighboring countries for over a century.
He has imposed tariffs on Canada, which is one of America’s two top trading partners along with Mexico, that are crippling some of Canada’s key economic sectors, such as autos, steel, aluminum and lumber.
Mr. Trump’s allies, particularly Steve Bannon, have talked about the benefits of the United States annexing Canada to access its vast Arctic and natural resources, including critical minerals and rare earths.
Mr. Carney chastised other leaders too, many of whom would have been following his speech in Davos, for not standing up for their interests.

He showed what he knows, as a man who makes sense
He spoke and then left, truth needs no defense

EU leaders should look up to Carney. No one should bow down to threats from an orange lunatic.

Not as impressive when you see the rambling nonsense Trump just vomited all over the podium also got a standing ovation.

I’m kinda taken aback at how much of a spotlight our PM’s speech has made on the international platform. A lot of people like what he said.
I mean, he’s proven to Canadians he’s a stable leader and everything, but I guess he hasn’t made his mark internationally until now.

America was blessed to have one of the most friendly and prosperous neighbors to possibly have, and it was pissed away, and for what purpose?

We know that it’s not all Americans, but when it comes to MAGA, one is too many.

Trump just got a standing ovation for an absolute deranged speech so is it really that impressive?

Send that man a beavertail (it’s a doughnut regional to Ottawa – he’s always eating when he’s out doing walk-abouts).

Honest question for Americans: How does it feel to listen to such a powerful speech applauded around the democratic world as a uniting force between friends and allies, but *specifically* uniting the world against what *your* Country is doing and is aiming to do? Not China, not Russia, not North Korea, but *you*, the USA.

I imagine the UK rep was constantly nudging people and saying „Former head of the Bank of England, you know.“
