Mark Carney’s speech in Davos, verbatim, and in video.
I informed some people I was with on Tuesday I am starting a new drinking game. Every time I hear an otherwise conservative politician say something nice about Mark Carney, drink.
It turns out that bottle of Scotch I got for Christmas could go pretty quick. The people I was with were conservative politicians. Take that for what you will.
“…the most recent mention of Carney on Fox News was Nov. 14, according to a keyword search on the site. So maybe Trump won’t hear about it?”
More to the point, why would Trump care what Carney had to say? All hearing what the yappy toy dog next door has to say whenever soneone passes by does for me is make it harder to resist the urge to snap its neck like a carrot.
Back in the real world, the armed forces of the United States could overthrow Carney and take over Canada in 48 hours, amd would be greeted as liberators by most of the Libranos’ long-suffering tax-slaves to boot. President Trump has no reason to take a word he has to say seriously.
Carney’s proposal appears to be for his fellow geopolitical non-entities to make a big show of making common cause, like the old “non-aligned” movement, so they can pretend to not be doing the dirty work of the Red Chinese.
Bo, Fox News did not report on Carney’s yapping, because the yapping of the lapdogs of the Chinese emperor isn’t news. It did report that thanks to decades of mismanagement by Democratic and (pre-Trump) Republican administrations, the US would lose a war with China within weeks. President Trump will not have been amused to learn this. And it will have underlined the fact that the last thing the United States need is a Red Chinese puppet state on their northern border.

“ Carney’s proposal appears to be for his fellow geopolitical non-entities to make a big show of making common cause, like the old “non-aligned” movement, so they can pretend to not be doing the dirty work of the Red Chinese.”
And the fun fact about the kind of mutual admiration club that Carney described is that when it comes time to contribute everyone in the club are devising ways to stiff one of the other members with the bill.
Sort of like how the UN currently works, which puts the lie to Carney’s claim of “rules based” is over.
There are the written rules and the rules they actually run by.
They make grand gestures but in the end when things get dirty they want the US to put boots on the ground.
Switzerland we hardly knew ye.
They talked about it on Fox and Friends this morning. They don’t generally mention Carney by name, they just make fun of “the Canadians” and their globalist PM now sucking up to China. This morning they also expressed surprise that we would be getting cozy with China after the recent 2 Michaels debacle.
“It did report that thanks to decades of mismanagement by Democratic and (pre-Trump) Republican administrations, the US would lose a war with China within weeks.”
They spread that narrative in cooperation with the military, who need to constantly fear-monger for more procurement funding. Means nothing. They did the same thing with the MIG-25 back in the day, before finally acquiring one and finding out what a piece of crap it really was.
China is trying hard to catch up and indeed has more of certain (smaller) warships and more tanks, but the quality of their equipment and most importantly their technology is nowhere near that of the Americans; the Chinese have the best technology they can buy or steal, they actually invent very little. As long as the US military and their lobbyists can keep drumming up fear about Chinese hyper-sonic ‘carrier killers’ the money will keep flowing and the US will maintain their technological advantage.
The Americans have far more air power that the Chinese in numbers and what they have is far more advanced in capability. The Chinese have chosen to focus on building up the PLAN to counter the US Navy (they do indeed have many more small ships than the Americans) but they are so horribly outmatched by the USN advantage in submarines that much of the PLAN fleet would probably be on the bottom before it could even get into the fight.
Probably thē most contrived contradictory thing I’ve read in at least the past decade. What a load of hooey. I love how he bleated out New… World… Order… in China. Probably got his butt smacked pretty hard for that one (like a toddler running around a dinner party with, oh, a dildo). So now he’s mincing around, not mentioning Trump or the fact that Canada, actually, still hasn’t realized just how sore the American teats are. That’s Ok though. Just realize that with every syllable that comes out of that guy’s mouth Canada’s “middle power” will further realize it’s time to go.
I think Brian’s approach is wrong. How about every time you say something bad about Carney, you buy them a drink. I’ll bet it catches on.
(Shit, say 5 bad things and you’ll have a following.)
Carney is in his place to be. Not Canada, but Davos, among the Alps, not the Rockies, unsurprising given his infrequent residence in Canada, though he did slink out of town as Trump was arriving.
How ironic he bleats about Canada as part of a middle power club, perhaps beckoning to a time when we punched above our weight because of our special relationship with the US, from where he vainly claims to pivot away. IOW, instead of being approximately right, about diversification, he is precisely wrong, isolating Canada.
Next, a disastrous fighter decision that’ll hamstring the RCAF for decades, long after Carney returns to his Alps.
Will France pluck this Chinese agent from Canada to save them from Le Pen?
Please.
Agin, Brain knocks one into the loaded toilet, for the home trip, over his own flaccid tallywacker!
Where’s the unhealthy sexual obsession warning? Is lacking credibility your hobby?
It’s his way of life. And the warning is in the name. “NME” interprets as “scroll down now”. I’m told it’s a clever pun in Hittite.
Ben Franklin remarked that politics is the art of compromise.
Thus, all politicians will face a moment were they have to compromise their positions to achieve goals.
Therefore anyone referring to themselves as conservative politicians are suspect.
Myself I refer to them as blu liberals/red Tory.
As to Carney
He finessed his way into senior government bureaucracy to a position were he could claim credit for successful outcomes while simultaneously absolving himself when things went bad.
“Ben Franklin remarked that politics is the art of compromise.”
No.
Politics is the Art of Getting what You Want.
“War is the continuation of policy with other means.” ~ Carl von Clausewitz
No compromise there, and neither did the American Revolutionaries compromise with the British.
Ben Franklin included.
To clarify
Franklin never stated who would be doing the compromising.
Only that to succeed as a politician one needed to be skilled in the art.
A nation and its leadership can make compromises from strength, or be compromised by weakness, which is the now we know precise direction Marx Carney is taking us, our liberty and prosperity “on the menu” because he and his kleptocratic technocrats pivot for power, all of it Grit grifter gaslighting with premade excuses for his failure and our economic demise, whether it be the US, Trump or methane.
Imagine that. Your PM and Obama are both “community organizers”. Steadfastly standing up to Trump whilst boasting of Canada’s “just” sovereignty … and in the next breath all but forfeiting Canada’s mediocre nationality to the EU, NATO, and any other mediocre group who will pull Canada’s nuts out of the fire.
An energy superpower? In theory, maybe … but in the practical world of getting that energy to market? … unburdened by netzero taxation? PM Puhleeze!
There are no conservative politicians in Canada, only big government enablers, with slightly different opinions on the growth rate. To whit; At the height of the British empire, the UK government had 55,000 employees, and was generally regarded as the gold standard public service. Now with empire mostly gone, they have 565,000, and nothing works and they are circling the drain. The sad part is on a public servant per resident basis, Canada’s is 30%
largerworse.People need to stop being impressed by words. Speeches, memorandums of understanding, press releases…blah, blah, blah. Words mean absolutely nothing compared to actions and results. Judge people and governments by their actions and results.
In Canada, under a decade of Liberal government, their actions have resulted in poverty, economic damage, crime, inflation, debt, a housing crisis, numerous ethics breaches, violations of citizen’s constitutional rights and three provincial independence movements. Words and speeches do not build economic growth, houses, national unity or make groceries affordable.
TBF … Your PM’s words DID inspire Gavin Newsom to blather on about Orangemanbad in DAVOS. What’s HE doing there? IDK? Hooking up with Chrystia Freeland?
Carney and his slimey globalist brethren would gladly watch you and your family squirm in misery , rather then bring a kind of honest stability to a country where people would thrive .
Anyone saying nice things about that bastard is part of the problem .
I watched his speech and I was enraged.
Not because it was good , but because it isn’t hard to read between the lines.
His “progressive ” was certainly showing.
Canadians on the whole sadly are going to pay a heavy price , for their apathy.
And it isn’t Trump’s fault no matter how they spin it around in their heads.
They have plucked their heads out of the sand much too late.
The speech was done so a claim of accomplishment can be substantiated.
The difference between Carney and his predecessor Leisure Suit Larry is that Carney is Trudeau without the drama.
(The liberal problem is they run on drama.)
Carney this far has no big accomplishments to meet the standard they set for him.
The speech will figure prominently in the next campaign being compared in significance to Pearson.
The one thing he can’t seem to achieve, the one thing die hard leftists and liberal partisans want, is the ability to bring Trump to heel.
Trump has one quality that drives his critics mad.
He doesn’t care what they think and he makes a point of telling them.
The other CINO politicians and so called standard bearers will fall over themselves trying to be liked and not be called names by their opponents not realizing their opponents goal is to get them to walk back a position, abandon a principle, or throw one of their own under the bus.
New World Order
This is what Zoolander meant when he said Canada was a “Post-National” country.
If the EU doesn’t scare the schnikes out of you, you haven’t been paying attention.
Hey Albertans! In the upcoming separation referendum note that a vote for Canada is a vote for the
New World Order.
There is no Canada.
What difference does it make whether you are misruled by a Trotskyite in Ottawa or a Leninist in Edmonton?
Nicely combined false dichotomy and strawman logical fallacies.
You truly have a talent for the absurd.
You really think Albertans will fall for the Purple Princess? But he does check off all the boxes.
“The people I was with were conservative politicians.”
Small c or large C Conservative?
Big fcking difference.
At home, Carney’s speech will appeal to Elbows Up retards and others who are pathologically ignorant.
He spews propaganda.
Not one thing he says about Canada is the truth.
But he’s the new, pencil-necked leader of a weak nation filled with Nutless Cowards and Mewling Quims devolving into dystopia.
Carney would be revolting if he wasn’t such a predictable globalist lizard person.
I carefully tried to listen to his word salad. I even got Grok to extract the key points. Here’s what it said: https://x.com/i/grok/share/1883056d570843d6b292950c91177756 But this summary is gobbledygook too.
Could someone please share what ACTUAL things Carney will do in 2026-27, based on his speech?
Going off the first point, it would appear as though PM Carney and his EU/WEF buddies would (are?) going to opt to finagle a Thucydides Trap featuring the U.S. and China, since it appears as though the one they tried to finagle between the U.S. and Russia isn’t bearing the fruit they desired. Either with Russia or China (or their own assets, but preferably one of those two or both should take the heat so they don’t have to — I’m sure they’ve got something planned to get those two going at each other for their benefit later, but the U.S. must be taken out somehow because we’ve ‘gone rogue’ in their estimation).
Consider Carney’s speak alongside Macron’s — they should perhaps be taken together.
As for the other points: they do realize that they are essentially powerless: no money, no real economy, no real military…so influence/connections it is (a group effort). They also have some geographical assets still on the board, which coupled with those connections could prove very tempting to all of the greater powers, more influence. We should be aware of this, as influence/connections (Deep State if you want to call it that) are quite dangerous. If they don’t pull off the first point, they’re likely cooked. Yes, they will have no problem sacrificing people in order to save their own skins. They aren’t above WW3, not at all, because remember: we need to de-populate and we need a ‘post-national’ system; if any people are left over, well, they are assets/resources that will need to be managed — you’ll own nothing and be happy; your organs will be harvested after you die…for the greater good; to fix the climate and heal Mother Gaia. They’re a bunch of Malthusian ghouls, as they always were; at the end of the day this has to be kept in mind.
And PM Carney is signalling that he has placed Canada all in on this because his loyalty is most definitely not to his own country/people. That’s probably the reason why Mr. Zinchuk’s ‘conservative’ politicians are also in support of this. They’re still trying to make it sound pretty to the folks back home, but the intent is quite ugly (at least for us peasants), hence the word salad-yness.
Well, at least that’s my quick take…maybe we’ll find out.
“And PM Carney is signalling that he has placed Canada all in on this because his loyalty is most definitely not to his own country/people.”
Well the problem is that Canaduh’s PM is a citizen of Ireland and UK too.
I think Carney is being loyal to Carney’s stock portfolio first and foremost, but it just may be that he is loyal to Ireland or UK rather than the post-national entity temporarily known as Canada.
I have come to believe that the people who rule us have loyalty only to the NGOs to which they belong which only truly serves its members, and their “clans”. Nations are generally modern inventions – at least the massive large territories we see today. History is replete of powerful members of those nations doing what served them and their inner circle, and then spinning their self-interest as public service. Within each nation are many “clans”, or extended family groups. This is known still throughout places like Ireland and Scotland, and was common in Germany, to provide some context. It took war and propaganda to change what was once universal.
I have come to believe that teaching children to salute the flag and sing national anthems is to program them at an early age to treat others within an arbitrary border as deserving of their time, treasure, and sacrifice. I believe that without that, they’d instead do so for their immediate family and friends, and then treat others on a sliding scale down from there. And I believe that to be both natural and healthy.
Without that propaganda, people would not otherwise treat far-off politicians as one of “them” by default. And would refuse to surrender power to them.
Who did he work for in the past? His stock portfolio? That’s more likely, but there are other forms of recompense for being a loyal foot soldier.
He isn’t loyal to a country; none of them are — post-national states, remember?
“post-national states, remember?”
Pffft! That’ll be the day when Ireland sees itself as for anyone but the Irish.
“Well the problem is that Canaduh’s PM is a citizen of Ireland and UK too.”
Funny how Andrew Scheer’s dual Canada/Us citizenship finished off his ambitions to be PM, but our current PM has *two* other citizenships…and no one says a word?
“That’s probably the reason why Mr. Zinchuk’s ‘conservative’ politicians are also in support of this.”
‘Progressive’ Conservatives are not actually conservatives…they are liberals.
Liberal Lite. Even Poilievre falls into this category.
oooooh, these guys are anything but that. The furthest from it. They are as conservative as it gets. Which is why is is so surpising and worth a drink.
Does it matter how “conservative” you are, if you’re a television-head? If you’re unshakeably convinced that if you just shout “Trump!” and shit your pants, you embody wisdom? Conservatism involves a commitment to reality which Trumpwank repudiates.
All “word salad” talk, no action. MOUs galore that mean nothing. Inter-provincial trade barriers are still in place. Human rights stance – go tell it to Xi Ping putters. International agreements? All BS. Increased military – all smoke and mirrors. As the Prime Mortician of Canada he will oversee the death of Canada. Just look at his suits, purchased at “Morticians R Us” from Savile Road in London.
I am totally confused. We were told by the Libs for years that the WEF and Davos and “penetration of governments” was all just some far right conspiracy theory and it’s just a little annual meeting that means nothing.
Now all of a sudden the goings on at Davos are the most important thing in the world to CBC and the online lefty echo bubble.
So, what gives?
EDIT to add: I hope Trump burns that place down with his speech today.
RNrn
“In 1978, the Czech dissident Václav Havel wrote an essay called The Power of the Powerless. In it, he asked a simple question: how did the communist system sustain itself?
His answer began with a greengrocer. Every morning, this shopkeeper places a sign in his window: “Workers of the world, unite!” He does not believe it. No one believes it. But he places the sign anyway – to avoid trouble, to signal compliance, to get along. And because every shopkeeper on every street does the same, the system persists.
Not through violence alone, but through the participation of ordinary people in rituals they privately know to be false.
Havel called this “living within a lie.” The system’s power comes not from its truth but from everyone’s willingness to perform as if it were true. And its fragility comes from the same source: when even one person stops performing — when the greengrocer removes his sign — the illusion begins to crack.”
Carney perfectly describes what he and his ilk have turned Canada into. Where millions pay lip service to the moronic, anti-scientific lie of AGW, pretending faggots are normal and their perversions harmless and socially acceptable, socialist health care, baby murdering shops, low/no skill population-replacing levels of 3rd world immigration, DEI, “sustainability”, “energy transition”, 15 minute cities, etc.
Carney’s speech is actually about pushing forward with continuing to remove basic human rights and freedoms, and weakening the dwindling wealth of the average Canadian. Expanding the police state and new restrictions on free speech, travel, and association.
All the while circling the wagons around supply management and the other cartels that impoverish Canadians and enrich the few.
Carney’s speech was written in such a way that insiders understand while Elbows Up retards misinterpret it as they’ve been taught to do, all while clapping their flippers.
The best comment on this topic today. You nailed it. We are complying our way into lies and tyranny.
Sic Semper Tyrannis.
Let me add to that. When one shopkeeper doesn’t place the sign in the window another shopkeeper throws a conniption fit. That reinforces the lie.
And so normal people self-censor.
Meanwhile, it looks like Carney is still putting the sign in his window, while pretending to oppose the practice:
“Since my government took office, we have cut taxes on incomes, capital gains and business investment, we have removed all federal barriers to interprovincial trade, and we are fast-tracking a trillion dollars of investment in energy, AI, critical minerals, new trade corridors, and beyond.
“We are doubling our defence spending by 2030 and are doing so in ways that builds our domestic industries.”
Nailed it
Was he talking about Canada and the US or was he talking about Alberta and Ottawa?
The big lie; we pretend equalization is about equality, we pretend that all provinces are treated equal, we pretend that protests are treated equally by the justice system, we pretend that taking guns from honest people stops criminals, etc. etc. etc.
Watto, “yes” a good summation of the problem at hand.
Would we like big gov’t to repair the problems given us by big gov’t? or would we like small gov’t to repair the problem given us by big gov’t? Well there seems to only be one constant in which to point the finger at and the tax base isn’t growing. It’s not like we can blame small gov’t for giving us the problems we have.
Tyranny requires a big gov’t. A small gov’t can’t maintain the dictates of a large gov’t, even if it tried.
The smaller the gov’t, the more free the people organically become. Cartels and protectionism would fall apart. People would freely disassociate from those they find repugnant w/o consequences. W/o gov’t involvement in media, the CBC and other far-left propaganda agencies would dissolve one way or another due to lack of funding and viewership.
Capital would again begin to flow where it made sense, rather than to where subsidies lured them. 3rd world immigrants would voluntarily leave when other peoples’ money disappeared. Socialists would have to find real jobs for the first time in their lives, and would no longer find the time to post their vitriol on social media while they “worked from home”…
People would begin to do what they used to be able to do before socialism. Like have farmers markets, where products like eggs and milk are sold at a relative pittance. And not “Farmers Market Incorporated”, where massive fees, taxes, and regulations eliminate the point of even having them.
Competition would occur for the first time in memory for taxis, cell service, air travel, foodstuffs, etc.
And gov’t could focus on the only things they should ever have been involved with – upholding justice, national defense, and virtually nothing else.
conservatives don’t hang out with you Brian. Anyone who praises Carney isn’t a conservative, just like anyone with a penis isn’t a girl no matter how much makeup they put on.
“conservatives don’t hang out with you Brian. Anyone who praises Carney isn’t a conservative, just like anyone with a penis isn’t a girl no matter how much makeup they put on.”
(where’s that ‘like’ button?…)
Nailed it.
Well I guess the people who campaigned under a conservative banner, and were elected by massive margins under a conservative banner, and have governed many years under said banner would know nothing about being conservative. But you do. Good for you. And Fred too. Also Buddy.
As an Albertan, I’d have trouble recalling a politician, either provincial or federal, who was conservative that belonged to a party with the word “conservative” in its name. I knew many in the Reform Party, and many in the Wildrose however.
There’s a reason why actual conservative parties have had to be formed, even while a party using the word “conservative” already existed. If you include the likes of Scott Moe, Jason Kenney, Thomas Lukaszuk, Allison Redford, Ed Stelmach, Doug Ford, etc. as “conservatives”, then our definitions are very diferent.
President Trump arrives, Carnage scurries away.

Marc Carney Speech Davos 2026;
… “For decades countries like Canada prospered under what we called the rules-based international order” (US tax-payer)
… “fundamental values: sovereignty and territorial integrity, the prohibition of the use of force except when consistent with the UN Charter, respect for human rights” (China)
… “the strength of our values but also on the value of our strength” (Kamala)
… “We are doubling our defence spending by 2030 and are doing so in ways that builds our domestic industries” (Liar)
… “On AI we are cooperating with like-minded democracies” (China)
… “It means acting consistently. Apply the same standards to allies and rivals” (Alberta)
… “Canada has what the world wants. (You and Trudeau wrecked the oil sands) We are an energy superpower. (You and Trudeau wrecked the oil sands) We hold vast reserves of critical minerals. (locked in place by your party under China) We have the most educated population in the world. (not anymore DEI) We have capital, talent, and a government with the immense fiscal capacity to act decisively” (taxed to death under a one party state is tyranny)
… “Canada is a pluralistic society that works. (all institutions have been broken by the Liberal Party of Canada) Our public square is loud, diverse, and free. (not free of you, yet) Canadians remain committed to sustainability” (Climate $cam)
… “We are a stable, reliable partner” (unstable, turn-coat under decades of the Liberal Party of Canada corruption, a pathetic reflection of a once proud nation)
That explains how Marx Carnage managed to get himself into high profile positions. He lucked out with the Bank of Canada governorship. Jim Flaherty bailed him out of the mess and he went on to the Bank of England. There, with no Jim Flaherty to save him, Carnage made a mess.
Marx Carnage is all talk with absolutely no substance. Just because you use big words, many of which are mis-used, it’s all just empty rhetoric. Only fellow brain-dead leftists are impressed by him.
