Canadians elect our leaders to work in our interests, not those of international bureaucrats or the rich and powerful
As the World Economic Forum (WEF) meets in the Swiss ski resort of Davos, and as the World Health Organization’s (WHO) 75th World Health Assembly convenes in the Swiss lakeside city of Geneva, questions are once again being asked about the outsized importance of international organizations such as these. Truth be told, the WEF is not an international organization, despite its claims, and despite the fact that many governments treat it as one. It’s really a glorified NGO with pretensions of grandeur that, in point of fact, is an event organizer for the rich, famous and powerful to gather far away from the riff-raff in a difficult-to-reach resort town. You might just say that what happens in Davos stays in Davos, as the many lavish private parties and networking events are the real deal, with the portentous and pedantic sessions being a useful cover.
