The piece argues that many pundits and outlets praised the Davos message as a major,anti-U.S. shift, while some critics dismissed it as unrealistic.<\/p>\n<p>Then the author points to Carney\u2019s New York speech, claiming it effectively reverses the earlier stance: Carney argues for deeper U.S.-Canada economic integration, emphasizing shared resource and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-shops-for-critical-minerals-in-canada-while-shutting-down-mining-projects-on-american-soil\/\" title=\"Biden Shops For Critical Minerals In ... While Shutting Down Mining Projects On ...n Soil\">industrial supply chains<\/a> (oil, gas, electricity, metals, and components) and calling for more joint business to compete globally. The author\u2019s main point is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-red-states-have-reacted-in-the-month-since-scotus-overturned-roe-v-wade\/\" title=\"How Red States Have Reacted in the Month Since SCOTUS Overturned Roe v. Wade\">high-profile speeches<\/a> and the accompanying commentary are largely performative-suggesting that real policy and practical interests override the dramatic rhetoric from earlier statements.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>And now a word from Emily Litella.<\/p>\n<p>Compare the speech Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney gave in New York Thursday to the one he gave in Davos in January, because January Carney seems to have been swapped out for a doppelg\u00e4nger who has no idea what three-months-ago Carney thought.<\/p>\n<p>In that January <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/stories\/2026\/01\/davos-2026-special-address-by-mark-carney-prime-minister-of-canada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">speech<\/a> to the creepy World Economic Forum, Carney let America have it with both barrels. Rejecting the cruel power of a nation led by a mean orange monster, Carney promised to turn his back on an America-centered \u201cold order\u201d and build a coalition of \u201cmiddle powers\u201d that would boldly challenge the United States. Canada would \u201cfundamentally shift our strategic posture\u201d to challenge and reject America, not to cooperate with a degenerate and power-mad country. (What Carney didn\u2019t say in Davos was that his big plan to turn away from America would mostly mean, in practice, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/world\/asia\/canada-china-cut-tariffs-new-partnership-carney-xi-trump-threats-rcna253760\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">aggressive embrace<\/a> of China.)<\/p>\n<p>Weak, dimwitted pundits ate it up. In The New York Times, witless livestock-adjacent cuckold David French <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/eNDdi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">declared<\/a> that Carney had given a \u201cbracing\u201d speech that \u201cmight be the most important address of Trump\u2019s second term so far.\u201d That\u2019s <em>it<\/em> for America, French concluded, because the Canadian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/uk-govt-lockdown-to-last-12-months-expect-repeated-vaccinations\/\" title=\"UK Govt: Lockdown to Last 12+ ..., Expect Repeated Vaccinations\">prime minister<\/a> had just stood up in front of the world and \u201cmarked out a path of allied integration and cooperation that could create, in essence, a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lessons-from-the-last-cold-war\/\" title=\"Lessons from the Last Cold War\">great power rival<\/a> to the United States.\u201d Whatever you say, David.<\/p>\n<p>The media kept banging away on this ludicrous theme, with Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/magazine\/2026\/02\/11\/canada-greenland-trump-foreign-policy-00775359\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gushing about<\/a> Canada\u2019s \u201cMuscular New Anti-Trump Strategy.\u201d Cooler heads intervened, with the Canadian scholar Stephen Nagy <a href=\"https:\/\/macleans.ca\/politics\/mark-carneys-middle-power-gambit-cant-save-canada\/\">writing<\/a> that Carney\u2019s speech presented an \u201celegant theory\u201d that was \u201cpractically impossible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Three months after he boldly tossed that obsolete dinosaur called America into the trash, Carney traveled to New York City this week to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/politics\/carney-new-york-speech-9.7214907\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pitch<\/a>, wait for it, a new and strengthened partnership between the United States and Canada:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Carney said the U.S. is dependent on Canadian oil, natural gas, electricity, aluminum, potash, nickel, copper and industrial components, and the two sides should do more business together in these sectors, not less.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018That is mutual strength. Canada Strong will help make America great again. The examples are legion where we should work together and compete with the world together,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The prime minister of a country that shares an enormous border with the largest national GDP in the world suddenly discovers that <em>actually<\/em>, we\u2019d really like to sustain a close partnership with you guys. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCanada is far and away America\u2019s biggest customer, and an integrated North American market for production is the best and most durable way to confront intense, truly intense, global competition on critical minerals,\u201d Carney said. We reject your power and we seek closer integration with you.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PM Carney promotes Canada-U.S. economic partnership in NYC\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OaStPyPT670?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/span> <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Speeches, and news about speeches, generally have no meaning or substance.

Reality just sits there, waiting quietly until everybody gets done performing the fake noises. A prime minister says in January that we utterly reject X, and a bunch of idiots celebrate, and then the same prime minister says in May that we <em>embrace<\/em> X and need a lot more of it.
