🇨🇦 Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told the World Economic Forum at Davos that the U.S.-led “rules-based international order” is finished and “will not return.” “For decades, countries like Canada benefited from what was called the rules-based international order,” Carney said. “We joined its institutions. We praised its principles. We benefited from its predictability.” But, he added, “we knew the story… was partially false.” “The strongest would exempt themselves when convenient,” Carney said, arguing that “trade rules were enforced asymmetrically,” and “international law applied with varying rigor depending on the identity of the accused or its victim.” “We participated in the rituals. And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality.” That “pleasant fiction,” he states, no longer works. The new world is one where economic integration and financial infrastructure are openly used by hegemons—hinting at the United States—as “weapons” for “economic coercion.” Carney rejected reliance on bilateral deals with dominant powers. “When we only negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness,” he said. “This is not sovereignty. It is the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination.” Instead, he called for “values-based realism,” urging middle powers to act together and build a third path that is not a “world of fortresses,” but partnerships with partners with shared standards. If you are not at the table,” Carney said, “you are on the menu.” His remarks were met with a rare standing ovation in the room. Full speech below.

The closure of the crossings has been officially announced.The complete suspension of aid has also been confirmed!! Suddenly, without any warning, as if our souls could endure no more shocks. Within minutes, anxiety turned into real panic in the streets and inside homes. People are asking with stunned eyes: What will we eat? How will we live? Where can we go? We had barely begun to see meat and vegetables return to the markets after months of deprivation. Our bodies had only just started to recover from the effects of severe famine, and now we are told that everything will stop again. Is it possible for the specter of hunger to return so quickly? Are we destined to relive the same nightmare over and over? We know famine too well. We know its cruel taste. We know what it means for children to go to sleep without dinner, for bodies to grow weak, for waiting to turn into daily humiliation. We have not regained our health yet. We have not forgotten the long aid lines, nor the look in mothers’ eyes as they tried to hide their helplessness. We have nothing to do with the war, yet our bread is besieged, our medicine is besieged, our children’s future is besieged. By what logic is the hungry punished? For what crime are people pushed back to the edge of famine once again? What kind of endless torment is this? And how much more can a human heart endure?
