Did Carney just signal a massive shift in Canada's foreign policy direction?
-
Sen. Peter Boehm, a former diplomat, told CBC’s Power & Politics that Carney’s remarks were the “most consequential” delivered by a Canadian prime minister since Louis St. Laurent — minister responsible external affairs at the time — laid out Canada’s post-Second World War foreign policy direction in 1947.
Louise Blais, a former Canadian ambassador to the United Nations, told Power & Politics that she thinks Carney is attempting to position Canada as a leader among the middle powers.

No, he signalled it last year. He just went on the world stage to reiterate it to those foreign entities.

It was a good speech. I hope he, and by extension Canada, follows through. There is a significant difference between correctly identifying a problem and successfully implementing a solution. Canada is not without it’s own version of MAGA. So far they have done a much better job of keeping them at bay but only time will tell if that can continue. The speech was a good start though.

It’s already being implemented. This is to get other countries on board.

It seemed like that was a real possibility in the last one so you never know. People like simple answers and conservatives play on that tendency all the time. Carney seems to have the right idea here but if he isn’t able to keep the narrative from shifting to something that conservatives can use to make the idiots angry (which they seem pretty good at) then he could be in trouble.

I’m going to be very stressed if we have an election soon
