It’s been a long day! Long year! A long 2.0

Mark Carney is a fantastic demonstration of why having a coherent political and economic worldview is so important for a politician. When you encounter something out of the scope of what you’ve previously experienced, you can derive your approach from first principles. Labour: take notes.

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

Why media should be non-for-profit!

Excellent article. From a fellow Calgarian!

That is indeed so!

European leaders are criticizing President Donald Trump and his proposed tariffs, pledging solidarity with Greenland at the World Economic Forum.

"This is the diplomatic equivalent of a wronged spouse telling their partner: No, I am not asking for a break or a trial separation. It’s time to move on."

In a few minutes, in a brief speech, Carney has made himself a leader of the next world order:

For all of its great prime ministers, #Canada has never had one who was known for their ability to deliver stirring speeches, much less ones with global import and impact. In a remarkable 16-minute-long speech delivered /1 thread www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/20/o...

As a Canadian, I would say it will be at least a generation for us to trust the US again. By electing Trump twice, the US has revealed who they are. It is an ugly picture. Unless they fix themselves, no civilized nation should associate with them.

As long as Trump remains POTUS, nobody can take the US seriously. Nobody can make any agreement with the US. The US has become out of bounds. In the long run, this madness will be vewry costly for the US. Don't US republicans understand that? Are they merely cowards?

Meanwhile, in Davos, Switzerland….

It was absolutely brilliant. Carney’s speech at Davos will reverberate throughout history. I’ll be speaking with a thought leader from Finland about it on Wednesday’s The OShow Canada’s Pro Democracy Podcast 🇨🇦 #WEF26 #Cndpoli #Finland #Greenland 🔗 youtube.com/@theoshowwithl…

As I am watching @mark-carney.bsky.social speak at WEF in Davon I have never been more proud to be Canadian.

Today, we walk out of school, work, and commerce. 873 events, across 50 states and globally. Today, we walk out for a Free America. #FreeAmericaWalkout #FreeAmerica

I had to make a little change.

Look at the whole picture: - are his domestic plans sound & are they succeeding? Any lasting success? - has he made 🌎 friends to sustain his objectives? - grifting can only work for so long! His plan is not one for success! The higher you climb the harder you’ll fall & 🇺🇸 is about to free fall!

Applaud!

Since comments and Quite post are turned off … hat to post it like this … Honestly Americans are silly … they think they will get themselves out of this by voting!

PM Carney isn't even back yet and the shipments have started!

Watch out: the guy who bombed Iran, kidnapped a foreign leader, and is currently invading a city in his own country is going to stop being so peaceful

I need to get up, but

Exactly!

USCGC Polar Star, the U.S. Coast Guard’s only heavy icebreaker, turns 50. All U.S. military icebreakers are part of the Coast Guard; the Navy does not operate any vessels of this type. militarnyi.com/en/news/u-s-...

This is the moment for each US state to decide if they will partake in this or will they keep their values!

Time to change the locks while he is in Davos!

Absolutely and categorically NO!

“the United States is sending aircraft to its Pituffik Space Base, insisting all activities are routine.”

The nerve of this man! Honestly! To speak like that about a leader and of of another country! He’s made a mockery of the Presidency and his country!
