Carney's Davos speech really lays bare what an empty suit Poilievre is. It is impossible to imagine him giving a speech with this much gravitas & seriousness. It would be all divisive slogans, recriminations and grievance. What else could he possibly deliver when that's all he's built a career on?

What's remarkable is not just that Trump is so loathsome and narcissistic that he doesn't care when an innocent woman is killed in a protest unless and until he finds out that her dad was a fan of his ... it's that he's so disregulated he *can't help but say so out loud*.
Trump: "ICE is gonna be too rough with somebody. They're gonna make a mistake sometimes. I felt horribly when I was told the young woman had the tragedy. But when I learned her father is - I hope he still is, but I don't know - was a tremendous Trump fan. It's terrible. It's so sad. It just happens"

If Canada and our like-minded allies can figure out how to walk-the-talk, I think Carney's WEF speech could go down as one for the history books. It's worth a listen.

Bravo, Governor Newsom, for saying what so many are thinking.
At Davos, Governor Gavin Newsom said European leaders were “complicit” and “pathetic” in how they handle President Trump, adding that he should have “brought a bunch of knee pads for them.”

The US President is using extortion on his allies in order to line his pockets at the expense of the international community.
President Trump threatened on Monday to impose 200 percent tariffs on French wine, including Champagne, if President Emmanuel Macron of France declined to join his proposed “Board of Peace” for Gaza.

If Carney is looking for a good reason to not join the Board of Peace other than the fact that it's a ludicrous idea and that doing things to please Trump never actually gains anyone anything even in the short term and also why should we degrade ourselves in such a way, here it is:

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre confirmed he received this message from Trump:
![NEW: President Trump letter to Jonas Gahr Store links Nobel Prize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you!
