PM’s Speeches in Davos and Beijing Can’t Be Viewed in Isolation

Although Prime Minister Mark Carney’s address in Davos was polished, ambitious, and fluent, it cannot be read in isolation from his remarks in China last week, where he spoke approvingly of a coming “new world order.” Those words are not neutral. They carry a long and troubling history, particularly when invoked in Beijing, where the phrase is often used to justify the erosion of liberal norms in favour of hierarchy, managed markets, and political control.

When a Canadian prime minister echoes that language, even indirectly, it risks lending legitimacy to systems that reject the very principles Canada claims to defend. Seen in that light, the Davos speech reads less as sober realism and more as an attempt to reconcile democratic values with an emerging order that is neither benign nor aligned with Canadian interests.

We ran high-level US civil war simulations. Minnesota is exactly how they start

Developments in Minnesota closely mirror a scenario explored in a 2024 exercise conducted at the Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law at the University of Pennsylvania, which I direct

Since January 6, roughly 2,000 ICE agents have been deployed to Minnesota under the pretext of responding to a fraud investigation. In practice, these largely untrained and undisciplined federal agents have been terrorizing Minneapolis residents through illegal and excessive uses of force – often against US citizens – prompting a federal judge to attempt to place limits on the agency’s actions. The Trump administration is encouraging the lawlessness by announcing “absolute immunity” for ICE agents. But if the secretary of homeland security, Kristi Noem, does not heed the court ruling, the consequences may be nothing short of civil war.


A civil war to protect criminal aliens is a lefty wish dream.

Jesse Kline: Carney declares world order dead, just don’t ask him about China

Prime Minister Mark Carney took to the podium at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Tuesday to deliver one simple message: the world as you know it is over. But it’s not even clear that Carney knows what he thinks should take its place, or whose side he’s on.

The Prime Minister’s Office billed the trip as a means of deepening Canada’s “economic partnerships,” creating “new opportunities” and pitching our country as the “premier destination for global capital and investment.” But those talking points comprised just five per cent of his speech.

Trump unveils ‘Board of Peace’ in Davos ceremony, claims Gaza war ‘down to little fires’

President Trump unveiled his international Board of Peace during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday, expanding on his vision for a global body to rival the United Nations and claiming that Israel’s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip was all but over.

“They’re down to little fires,” Trump said of the situation in the Palestinian enclave, which has been shattered by more than two years of fighting. “We can put them out very easily.”


Unfortunately Muslims are never bored of killing Jews and Infidels so I have little hope that this initiative will do much good.

Doug Ford calls for Chinese EV boycott in Canada after Carney deal

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is calling on Canadians to boycott Chinese-made electric vehicles when they are allowed back into the country under a deal recently struck by Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Ford has been critical of the deal — and the fact Carney did not speak to him about it in advance — saying it will harm Ontario’s auto sector.

Carney and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed while the prime minister was in China that Canada will all but drop its 100 per cent tariffs on Chinese EVs and allow an annual import quota of up to 49,000 of the vehicles in exchange for China reducing its canola tariffs.

Trump meets Zelensky as US envoy says ending war with Russia down to one issue

US President Donald Trump has begun talks with Volodymyr Zelensky at Davos on Thursday, after his envoy Steve Witkoff expressed optimism about finalising a deal to end the war in Ukraine.

“I think we’ve got it down to one issue and we have discussed iterations of that issue, and that means it’s solvable,” Witkoff said ahead of his trip to Moscow for talks with Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

US to control parts of Greenland under Trump deal

The United States will control parts of Greenland by designating them as sovereign base areas under the terms of a proposed deal agreed in Davos.

Under the deal, which mimics Britain’s agreement with Cyprus, American bases on the Arctic island would be considered US territory, The Telegraph understands.

It would allow the US to carry out military and intelligence operations, as well as training, while also facilitating some local development, potentially including rare earth mining.


More … What we know about Trump’s ‘framework of future deal’ over Greenland

US President Donald Trump has announced there is a “framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland”.

The statement came as a surprise after days of mounting tensions, culminating with a threat to impose economic sanctions on eight close US allies which have opposed his plans to seize the semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.

So what could this deal entail and will it be acceptable to Denmark and Greenland – both of which have made it clear they will not relinquish sovereignty of the world’s largest island in the Arctic?


Can’t help but notice that Carney is never in the loop.

House Oversight Committee votes to hold Clintons in contempt of Congress

The House Oversight Committee voted in support of holding former president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress on Wednesday after the couple refused to appear for closed-door transcribed depositions related to the committee’s ongoing investigation of deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

A resolution holding Hillary Clinton in contempt passed largely along party lines, 28 to 15. Three Democrats voted with Republicans: Reps. Melanie Stansbury (R-New Mexico), Summer Lee (D-Pennsylvania) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan). The resolution holding Bill Clinton in contempt received more Democratic support, and passed 34 to 8.

Trump is right. America cannot afford to leave Greenland to Denmark

Europe and the US are in a full on dogfight over Greenland. Donald Trump’s late-night Truth Social posts, lambasting America’s European allies for their stance on the issue, prompted Emmanuel Macron to hit back against Washington in pointed terms: “We do prefer respect to bullies”. The US president’s earlier threats to impose tariffs to force the purchase of the semi-autonomous island received a similarly frosty reaction, including a rebuke from Jens-Frederik Nielsen, Greenland’s prime minister. Even Britain’s Sir Keir Starmer, careful with his words, condemned the tactic.

Former RCMP Director Alarmed by New Canada-China Agreement on Public Safety Cooperation

Former national director of the RCMP’s proceeds-of-crime program Garry Clement says Ottawa’s new agreement with Beijing on public safety is concerning because it potentially opens the door for the Chinese regime to “capitalize on intelligence.”

Prime Minister Mark Carney made several agreements with Beijing during his visit to China last week as part of a broader effort to establish closer ties with China and boost non-U.S. exports.
