HCR @hcrichardson.bsky.social says to read this whole speech, because Carney's plans may just be the wave of the future..a good one! I say you should read it all, too, but, you know, Heather's just so much taller..
Canadian PM Carney’s speech at Davos reportedly received a standing ovation.
The speech marked the end of an era.
It will no doubt be looked to as part of the historical record of the end of the transatlantic rules-based international order.

NEW: Canada’s new PM, Mark Carney, has just delivered what sounded like a wartime speech, savaging Trump & the US.
"These are dark days brought on by a country we can no longer trust. We are getting over the shock, but let us never forget the lessons. We have to look after ourselves."💥

It’s painful to think about what we missed out on, not just once, but twice. I’ll be salty about it forever.

I will never, not to my dying day, forgive Bernie Sanders for 2016 (when he sandbagged Hillary Clinton, 2020 (when he sandbagged Elizabeth Warren), and 2024 (when he continually criticized Kamala Harris and whined about economic inequality when he damn well knew Trump was a woman-hating fascist).
