This is such an eloquent, intelligent speech! Impassioned but measured. Rare standing O definitely deserved. Canadians are so lucky to have Carney leading the country at this volatile time.

Trump has now retracted his offer for Mark Carney to be on his prestigious Peace Board.
Somehow this man child continues to shock me 😵‍💫

How could Israel and Russia possibly be on a Peace Board! 😂

I think a handful of people are wrongfully understanding the speech as "Time to switch from Team USA to Team China", which is a complete misreading.

He's encouraging middle powers not to be on the "team" of any one superpower, and compete with each other for said superpowers favor - particularly in an age where the US is far more aggressively abusing its historical allies.

In that respect, he's advocating "diversifying the portfolio", if you work with multiple superpowers, you're less vulnerable to the whims of any given one.

At the same time, he's calling for greater cooperation among middle powers.

Very well said!

It was a fantastic speech! One of the best I have ever heard. I almost want to move to Canada!
