Mark Carney

We shouldn't mourn it.

Nostalgia is not a strategy.

But we believe that from the fracture, we can build something bigger, better, stronger, more just.

This is the task of the middle powers, the countries that have the most to lose from a world of fortresses and the most to gain from genuine cooperation.

We know the old order is not coming back.

We shouldn't mourn it.

Nostalgia is not a strategy.

But we believe that from the fracture, we can build something bigger, better, stronger, more just.

This is the task of the middle powers.

The countries that have the most to lose from a world of fortresses and a most to gain from genuine cooperation.

Until Don gets back, here is the Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney.

We understand that this rupture calls for more than adaptation.

It calls for honesty about the world as it is.

We are taking the sign out of the window.

We know the old order is not coming back.

We shouldn't mourn it.

Nostalgia is not a strategy.

But we believe that from the fracture we can build something bigger, better, stronger, more just.

This is the task of the middle powers.

The countries that have the most to lose from a world of fortresses and the most to gain from genuine cooperation.
