Davos Bombshell Carney Says the Old-World Order Is Dead
Is the global order collapsing right in front of us?
At Davos, Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a speech that stunned the room. He warned that the post–World War II system built on rules, open markets, and U.S.-led stability no longer protects nations the way it once did. Trade is now a weapon. Supply chains are leveraged. Power politics is back.
Most coverage focused on tariffs and diplomacy. But the deeper message was far bigger: the old bargain is broken, and middle powers can no longer "live within a lie." Carney calls for a new strategy, values-based realism, where nations build resilience, protect critical industries, and form tighter coalitions to survive a harsher world.
