Was Carney’s Davos Speech Really About Trump?

In the 53rd installment of the Atomic Exchange Podcast, co-hosts Dr. Goran Calic and Michael Tadrous break down Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos. They unpack his claim that the rules-based order is breaking down, why “going along to get along” no longer works, and what value-based realism should mean in practice for Canada. They also discuss why the speech is being read as a “stick it to Trump” moment, what parts of that miss the point, and what Canada’s path forward could look like on trade, energy, and strategic autonomy.
