On January 20th, Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney publicly, in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, broke Canada away from its till-now enslavement to the U.S. Government, and went way beyond saying a very firm “No!” to Trump’s demand that Canada become another U.S. state. He explained why he said no, and he invited all of the world’s “middle powers” (including the European nations) to organize together to turn this “No!” into an international movement of resistance against te U.S. Government.
My December 30th article, “Trump has destroyed the U.S. economy; NATO and the EU are ending.” had predicted that — and why — something like this would be happening soon; and now it has.
This is perhaps the most historically important speech ever since on 25 July 1945 the U.S. President Harry Truman started the Cold War — and Carney’s speech should be read as being that (Canada’s departure from the U.S. empire), because, regardless of what happens from now on, this speech is certainly a masterpiece:

Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a forceful speech Tuesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on the “new world order” and how middle powers like Canada can benefit by working together.
The speech was delivered against a backdrop of rising geopolitical tensions between great powers like Russia, China and the United States, and as U.S. President Donald Trump threatens allies with tariffs and pushes to acquire Greenland from Denmark, a member of the NATO military alliance.
