Michael Taube: I’m a speechwriter. Carney did better than Trudeau at Davos. But that’s a low bar
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Jan. 20 speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland received significant media attention. It was critical of U.S. President Donald Trump’s political agenda without directly saying so. Canada’s progressive commentators, and some conservative commentators, couldn’t contain their enthusiasm when the PM uttered lines like, “we know the old order is not coming back … we shouldn’t mourn it” and “we shouldn’t allow the rise of hard power to blind us to the fact that the power of legitimacy, integrity and rules will remain strong, if we choose to wield them together.”
Zelensky Slams Europe, Insults Orbán in Desperate Davos Address
It seems that if it were up to the Ukrainian president, the EU would have already invaded Iran and declared war on Russia.
The annual Davos World Economic Forum saw quite a few remarkable speeches this year, with that of Donald Trump definitely stealing the show. But there were some others, too, that stand out, attempting to emulate the U.S. president’s candor and energy, albeit with varying success.
How the Ottawa-Beijing Agreement Plays Into China’s Factional Struggles and Emboldens Xi
Chinese state-owned media hailed Canada’s new agreement with Beijing and pursuit of “strategic partnership,” with the regime’s China Daily saying Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit “reflects China’s increasing global stature.”
Amid factional infighting and struggles, Carney’s visit is being portrayed as a win for Chinese leader Xi Jinping, whose side has been increasingly sidelined in recent months, says Wang He, a senior China commentator with The Epoch Times and former university lecturer.
Federal government planning social media ban on kids 14 and younger
The federal government is considering a ban of social media accounts for children under 14, the Globe and Mail reports.
This ban would come after the highly publicised social media ban that the Australian government has for all children under 16.
This ban has been seen as widely successful, with, according to Australian PM Anthony Albanese, over 4.7 million social media accounts deactivated since the ban came into effect in 2024.

Jennifer Welch, Irrational, Incensed, And Dangerous, Is The Democrat Party
The Democrat who people most need to be paying attention to right now isn’t in Congress and isn’t expected to run for president. It’s Jennifer Welch, the gaunt, puckered up nag who hosts a popular podcast and who now proudly displays on a regular basis just how dark and decayed the left’s collective soul has become.
To hell with European cowardice
Until Europe wants to build a respectable military force instead of relying on American’s might, they can kindly, piss off.
ATO leaders posture boldly in words, but invisibly in deeds. They foolishly oppose Trump’s desire to protect America (and thus Europe) from Russian and Chinese nuclear missiles by securing Greenland for Golden Dome air defense.
It’s in stark contrast with the obvious fear NATO leaders have of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. For four years, NATO has been ultra careful to limit significant support for Ukraine’s valiant defense against Putin’s second invasion. Yeah, Putin scares them.
Surrey Mayor Presses Carney to Appoint an “Extortion Czar” as Canada’s Mafia Shooting Wave Spreads
OTTAWA — Following The Bureau’s investigation into Canada’s Indian mafia-linked extortion crisis, Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke is urging Mark Carney’s government to appoint an “Extortion Czar” to coordinate a national response to what she calls a rapidly escalating wave of violence that has spread beyond British Columbia and is now “approaching 1,500” cases across Canada since 2023.
Australia’s populist moment has arrived
Australian politician Pauline Hanson has been kept largely at arms-length by the electorate ever since she declared, 30 years ago, that her country was ‘being swamped by Asians’. But her exodus to the political fringe appears to have ended. A recent poll put her party, One Nation, in second place, which has rocked the political establishment.
Somalis Now the Least Desirable Immigrant Group
Yes, that’s what billion-dollar fraud schemes in Minneapolis, and ten-million-dollar fraud schemes in Lewiston, Maine, will do to how Americans view Somalis: not well at all. The latest opinion poll by J.L. Partners rank Somalis as viewed far more unfavorably compared to other immigrant groups. And that poll was taken as even more Somali fraud scandals are being unearthed almost every week. In Minneapolis, there is still much investigation to be done, and some officials think that what they initially thought was a one-billion dollar fraud may balloon into a ten-billion dollar fraud.
Pierre Poilievre is a cautionary tale for Farage
Nigel Farage has been in Davos, putting the “global elites on notice”.
Unfortunately for him, it’s not the Illuminati bug salesmen Europe is worried about right now, but Donald Trump. It’s therefore doubly unfortunate that Farage took to the stage in the “USA House” — a privately-sponsored, but officially sanctioned, venue for the American delegation at this year’s World Economic Forum. Unfortunately, the timing has only reinforced the Reform leader’s image as being too closely aligned with King Donald.
Dumbest Woke Karen
Woke Karen, 63, lets VERY embarrassing detail slip to the Daily Mail after she mistook cops rushing to school for ICE ‘and tried to obstruct them’
A ‘Karen’ from Maine let it slip to the Daily Mail that she was the one who tried to allegedly stop police from investigating a serious threat to a school because she thought they were Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
Mary Conmee, 63, gladly answered the phone on Thursday morning, but instead of greeting the reporter, she appeared to be having a conversation with someone else about what she did.
NEW: 63-year-old Maine woman accused of obstructing police from investigating a serious threat at a school because she thought they were ICE.
Retired NY State Police Sgt. Mary Conmee blew her air horn and screamed that she “didn’t want ICE” in her neighborhood.

Trump a rapist says Globe
America the predator: Trump wants to show the world he can take what he wants
For the past year, the world has been in a state of chaos. The United States, in the grips of its mad pirate king, has installed tariffs, removed tariffs, made deals, overturned deals, made threats, backed off threats, and all with the randomness of an infant that has not quite achieved object permanence. Nonetheless, a logic is starting to emerge, a logic that explains America’s actions: the logic of the rapist.
Europe got off lightly in Trump’s Davos speech
A sigh of relief at this point may prove premature, but perhaps we can permit ourselves a modest expulsion of breath. So long as we do it slowly and inaudibly, and without making any sudden movements.
At the time of writing, Donald Trump has just finished his address at the World Economic Forum at Davos, where he managed to speak for just over 40 minutes without fundamentally pulling the rug from under the constitutional order of Europe. Despite being highly critical of the entire political and economic trajectory of the continent, many European heads of government will be quietly relieved that this big set piece statement did not include any catastrophic bombshells.
Music
The Song is considered to be one of the most difficult arias ever written for a soprano. And yet she makes it look so easy, and with such power. And she was only 17 years old when she performed it.pic.twitter.com/SwYlXx68TY
