Mark Carney’s Speech at Davos

On Tuesday, Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada, delivered a prescient and powerhouse speech at the Davos World Economic Forum, which brought world leaders to an immediate standing ovation. I was deeply moved by what he shared. I also shuddered at its implications, knowing that despite all our national blustering, our weak-and-getting-weaker U.S. fortress may quickly become more isolated and economically squeezed out.

Still, I believe he speaks truth about where we are. And if we want to right the ship at home as best we can, we, too, can take our sign out of the window. We can start building a better world of cooperation.

Prime Minister Carney starts in French. His English remarks start at 1:17.
