They are digging in Minneapolis/Minnesota, not sending Tom Moneybags Homan to wind things down and withdraw forces. From what I can tell, things are going to get worse.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

This whole thread. As usual Harsha puts to words such a good read on this weird moment.
Since so many people are fangirling over Carney's supposed "historic" speech in Davos, I want to offer an alternative reading.
This is not left cynicism, but a sober reading of imperial positioning in this moment.
1) Carney squarely positioned Canada as a middle power.
