TLDRIn a speech at Davos, Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that the U.S.-led, rules-based international order is over and that middle powers like Canada must pivot to avoid coercion from powerful actors. He emphasized the need for Canada to develop strategic autonomy and strengthen its alliances with like-minded countries to navigate the changing global landscape.
"The saddest part is she was so looking forward to coming back," Todd James told CBC News about his daughter, Piper James, of Campbell River, B.C. Wildfire Service, where he said her supervisor was surprised by her strength, given that she was so young and only 5-5. Wildfire Service. Wildfire Service to pay for her trip to Australia. Wildfire Service all of last summer, he said.
Without invoking U.S. President Donald Trump by name, Carney referenced "American hegemony" and said "great powers" are using economic integration as "weapons." Middle powers must act together because if you are not at the table, you are on the menu," Carney said. Middle powers do not. Speaking later at a fireside chat at the World Economic Forum, Carney acknowledged Canada is vulnerable to an increasingly assertive U.S. given geography and longstanding economic ties. Speaking of the Danish territory coveted by Trump, Carney said: "I think clearly NATO is experiencing a test right now."
The multilateral institutions on which middle powers relied— the WTO, the UN, the COP—the architecture of collective problem solving — are greatly diminished. This rebuilds sovereignty — sovereignty which was once grounded in rules—but which will be increasingly anchored in the ability to withstand pressure. The question for middle powers, like Canada, is not whether to adapt to this new reality. Middle powers do not. What would it mean for middle powers to “live in truth”?
Since the 2022 draft, the Dallas Cowboys have spent three first round picks, and a third rounder, on the offensive line. Based on how the 2025 season played out, they’ll probably need to spend at least one pick in the 2026 draft on an offensive tackle. Tyler Smith may not be happy if they do this, but it might work out for the best. If the Cowboys cut him, the dead cap would only be $9.375 million, $5.25 million, and $1.125 million in those years. Solid InteriorWhile the tackles were clearly the weakest link for Dallas’ offensive line, the interior was strong.
I would love for the Cowboys to get that in the first, but if that player isn’t available, I’m not chasing and overdrafting. I would chase a linebacker archetype this defense has missed for a few years. When the Cowboys’ defense functioned, it was often because he found the unglamorous work. Why Size Matters at MIKE LinebackerSpeed is great, athleticism matters, but if you’re playing MIKE linebacker in the NFL, size still matters. Golday isn’t that size, but at around 6’3”, 240 pounds, he’s close enough to survive inside.
When a Canadian prime minister praises the idea of a “new world order” while sitting in China, he is not engaging in neutral diplomacy. In Chinese strategic doctrine, a “new world order” is not about reforming globalization. China’s “new world order” is not inevitable, benevolent, or neutral. Beijing’s world order is contested — and the Carney government, like all Canadian governments, should know which side of that contest serves our national interest. Praising Beijing’s new world order sends exactly the wrong message, to exactly the wrong audience, at exactly the wrong time.

DAVOS, SWITZERLAND — Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a striking speech at the World Economic Forum in which he exhorted countries to band together and speak out against bullies and “hegemons” but didn’t call out any by name. Carney delivered his starkest speech yet on the state of the world during a plenary session of the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday. Tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited,” Carney declared, presumably about the U.S. and China. Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen who explicitly named the U.S. and its president, Carney never uttered the words “United States,” “Trump” or any other country. Yet in the same speech, he called on other countries to call out powerful states who engage in bullying or coercion.
