It was nice to read the speech. I approve of Carney's message. Here were some lines I found humorous:

Nostalgia is not a strategy
If we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu
We are no longer relying on just the strength of our values but also the value of our strength

    I wish he was less of a, you know, investor capitalist, but his take on international relations is a wonder to behold. This speech basically boiled down to his election speeches, calling out the US, and telling the world that the Big Fish are nobody's friend, and that the rest of us need to partner up and stop competing with each other to simp for the Americans.

    He basically declared that the American Empire is over, and we're done acting as a vassal state.

    Fucking wild. I never thought I'd live to see the day.

    Rather poetic less than 24 hours after Trump paraded out a map with American flags over Canada, Greenland, and Venezuela.

    Don't worry. Trump is speaking in Davos tomorrow.

    Oh happy days. 🙄

    Well, he called Greenland "Iceland" 4 times in a meandering, somewhat incoherent ramble of a speech.

    Now it would be a shame if Russia or China would make the same comment, would it not?
