It was a pleasure reconnecting with Jon Moyal earlier this week in Montreal. Jon is the Executive Director of Million Peacemakers, an organization committed to empowering 250 million young peacemakers by 2035 in the “nonflict way” – a structured three-step conflict resolution methodology.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Davos message is blunt & timely: the old rules-based economic order is fracturing, and middle powers can no longer afford complacency.
“If you are not at the table, you are on the menu.”
