Canadian PM quotes Leonard Cohen at the UN today.

"Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There's a crack, a crack in everything. That's where the light gets in." In every moment where there's a crack, there is possibility. It's our opportunity as Canada in this moment to find it.

Carney emotionally recites Leonard Cohen: "Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There's a crack, a crack in everything. That's where the light gets in." In every moment where there's a crack, there is possibility. It's our opportunity as Canada in this moment to find it.

Ring the bell that still can ring
forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack in everything
that’s how the light gets in

It’s been my sig line here for years. I’m not sure why it’s not there anymore. I will fix it.

I love that the Canadian Prime Minister is quoting it… It’s fitting for these times
