The word 'populist' covers the same category and type of person as Vaclav Havel's dissident. Carney at one podium claims to be a victim of hegemonies, citing Havel; at another podium, he condemns the people, like Havel, who resist state narratives and state controls.
Mark Carney proclaims that "diversity is a strength" in his speech to Canadians. "In a time of rising populism and ethnic nationalism, Canada can show how diversity is a strength, not a weakness." "...the ark of history isn't destined to be warped towards authoritarianism and

The Prime Minister told Davos he wanted to close the “gap between rhetoric and reality.” Here’s how👇

PM @MarkJCarney claim of “fast tracking a trillion dollars of investment” is grossly inflated and drawn mainly from reannouncements of old spending, according to @PBO_DPB. Carney repeated claim Tuesday in speech to @wef. https://t.co/ub9uPmCBG9

Here is what I understood from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at Davos: The old world order ends unless America continues to let itself be “milked” by its allies; otherwise, the “Western family” dissolves.

Davos is basically all the people who have created the problems, denied their existence and then called us names for pointing them out... explaining what the problems are and how we desperately need to fix them.
German Chancellor Merz admits: Both Germany and Europe have wasted incredible potential for growth in recent years by dragging their feet on reforms and by unnecessarily and excessively curtailing entrepreneurial freedom and personal responsibility. We must substantially

Carney’s speech was self-indulgent—it provoked America at the expense of hardworking Canadians who suffer the consequences of job losses & tariff costs. Provoking President Trump & cozying up to China makes elites in Toronto and Vancouver feel good—but it hurts everyday workers.

Reminder: the same Liberals fawning over Mark Carney’s latest speech at the WEF were just as enthralled by Justin Trudeau’s “Canada is back” speeches in 2015/2016. Fancy speeches in Davos do nothing for Canadians who want good jobs, safer streets, affordable homes and groceries.

PM Carney talked in his speech about “the gaps between rhetoric and reality.” He’s right. No new pipelines. No anti-development laws repealed. No real interprovincial free trade. No serious justice reform. Deficit doubled. Nice speech. Canadians can’t live on speeches.

After visiting Beijing to say how “heartened” he is “by the leadership of President Xi Jinping,” then Qatar to call that sponsor of terror a “force for peace,” Mark Carney invokes Václav Havel to warn against “living within a lie.” Havel’s lesson fits—just not the way he thinks.
Very important and very well put remarks by 🇨🇦 PM Mark Carney. It’s time to take down the sign and speak up.

Mark Carney’s speech in Davos was all rhetoric and no results. He claimed that he has magically transformed Canada over the past year, but Canadians haven’t seen any relief. The so-called breakthroughs he boasts about are recycled, non-binding memoranda of understanding for

Canadians who don’t like what they see in America and think China offers an alternative should remember that the absolute worst excesses of the Trump administration are tame compared to the routine violence and repression of the Chinese Communist Party. Perspective, people.
