Mark Carney takes the sign out of the window. A brave and powerful speech, calling for middle powers to stop appeasing and pretending this is business as usual - and start building new alliances. I think this is the speech - and the PM - that a lot of Canadians have been waiting for. #cdnpoli #Davos
Very important speech here from Carney. Watch it in full at this link. "Canada ‘strongly opposes’ tariffs over Greenland, won’t waver on Article 5" globalnews.ca/news/1162085... #cdnpoli

🎯💯👇It really is terrifying!
We all know how this will play out:
Of course Canada will defend Greenland because it’s the right thing to do.
Of course, Trump will then declare war on Canada because he’s been itching to do that.
We are on the verge of a world war and if you’re not frightened, you’re not paying attention.
