Bloc politics disguised as multilateralism.

Prime Minister Carney's January 20, 2026, Davos speech – and his reading of the emerging new world order – are bloc politics disguised as multilateralism.

He accuses China and Russia of hegemonic ambitions, of which both have explicitly avowed none and neither of whose behaviour evidences any.

That the U.S. is and always has been a murderous tyranny – against which (and its vassals, including Canada) both Russia and China are defending themselves – he treats as evidence that they do.

"On Ukraine," he says, "we're a core member of the coalition of the willing and one of the largest per-capita contributors to its defence and security."

His speech makes 11 references to Canadian "values," which according to a new Oxfam report, just out, amount to: "The richest one percent in Canada, which is those with a net-worth of $7M and above, hold nearly $1.25 trillion in wealth – almost as much as the bottom 80 per cent combined"; and zero mention of SCO or of BRICS, which Canada can and should join.

Mr. Carney's speech pumps up instead some vague post-rules-based world order – (the rules-based order was Euro-Canadian-U.S -U.K. neocolonialism) – that Canada and its "NATO allies – including the Nordic-Baltic Eight" are supposedly going to cobble together to compete with the rest of the world.

Mr. Carney needs to think about ending homelessness in Canada, putting Canada's wealth in the hands of its 99%, definancializing and reindustrializing Canada, and Canada joining the human race.

Individuals with values worth appreciating do not tell you 11 times in one speech what great "values" they have. Nor do they accuse of hegemonic ambitions states defending themselves against U.S. hegemonic aggression.
