Global Shifts: Canada Calls for Teamwork Among Middle Powers
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's Warning
In a recent talk at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made it clear that the world's old ways of doing things are gone for good. He urged countries like Canada, Australia, and Brazil to stick together. Why? Because if they don't, they might end up being pushed around by bigger nations.
Powerful Countries Using Money and Trade as Weapons
Carney pointed out that powerful countries are using money and trade as weapons. They put tariffs on goods, control supply chains, and use financial systems to get what they want. This is not just a small change. It's a big break from how things used to be.
Canada's Experience
Canada knows this all too well. They were one of the first to see that old friends and shared history don't guarantee safety or success anymore. The U.S., for example, has put high taxes on Canadian goods. They even wanted to take control of Greenland, a place that's partly self-governing.
Canada's Stand
But Canada isn't backing down. They support Greenland and Denmark. They're also part of NATO, a group of countries that protect each other. Carney said Canada will always stand by this promise.
Making New Friends and Deals
To handle these changes, Canada is making new friends and deals. They've teamed up with China, Qatar, and even the European Union. Carney says Canada is a steady and trustworthy partner.
Other World Leaders
Other world leaders are also at the forum. U.S. President Donald Trump is set to speak soon. It's clear that the world is changing, and countries need to adapt.
