Six months ago, Prime Minister Mark Carney laid out a new and pragmatic path for middle powers in the face of an increasingly hostile U.S. and a rising China. In a new season of his podcast "Gloves Off" journalist Stephen Marche considers the opportunities for Canada given the new geopolitical reality.

Edit: every Canadian should listen to this podcast. Finally an unvarnished truth.

It's just really unfortunate that we're doing it by continuing down the path of capitalism and eco-unsustainability.

I'd like to believe that something parallel to this was possible but with actual democratic-eco-socialism.

    I felt that way too. It would be optimal. A Canadian mixed-market opportunity, of free markets where it can and socialized industry where it must. We could start this path any time we wanted. Crown Corporations and investment are a matter of will, not finance.

    The real problem that I see are the geopolitics of power. The world's re-armament is a gross malallocation of unsustainable resources at the worst possible time. But being ruled by the worst of humanity isn't doing anyone any favours either, so here we are.
