“The rupturing of our world order”

Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada – Switzerland, January 20, 2026.

Mark Carney nails it. This speech in Switzerland is an instant classic. Rarely do the buttoned up folks at the World Economic Forum in Davos offer a standing ovation. The PM of Canada not only understands precisely the dissolution of our world order but also is keenly perceptive about how we might best navigate these treacherous times of fortress mentality. 

His recommendations for creative and dramatically new alignments among nations are also relevant far beyond the stressed out arenas of geopolitics. They apply equally well to those even more crucial challenges of positive change that we the people — not just we the nations — face every day as individuals and as members of diverse communities worldwide. 

It is in our more local efforts and assemblies — as this website’s eloquent and passionate voices, collected from across the ages and the continents, will attest — when we are working neighbor to neighbor, that we will change the world more truly and more enduringly.
