Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney received a standing ovation at Davos Tuesday as he warned that “the old order is not coming back.”

Carney spoke at the World Economic Forum, insisting the world order based on rules has become “fiction” and stressing the need for smaller countries to forge new alliances.

"If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules and values for the unhindered pursuit of their power and interests, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate," Carney said, without mentioning President Donald Trump or the U.S.

“We understand that this rupture calls for more than adaptation. It calls for honesty about the world as it is,” he continued.

1. Good speech

Now Carney needs to follow up his words by sending some Canadian troops to Greenland, and selling off some US treasury bonds.

3. Not just that...

…but if Carney is smart, he’ll also have troops ready to go to the US/Canada border. Don’t think Trump won’t try the same. He will.
