I don't disagree with your point. Domestically, we see ample evidence of this. And he is not questioning the insulation of the market (trade and investment) from democratic interference, quite the opposite. But his use of Havel has real edge, challenging those that lament what was.

It is much more than that. Carney spoke of the lie of the old order, where the 'rules based order" never applied to the big powers. It is an essential critique. Also speaks of extreme global integration designed to benefit some over others, critiquing neoliberalism.

Carney's speech declares the 'rules based order' dead, and even goes so far to call it a lie, as great powers always did what they wanted anyways. I wish the NDP could rise to this moment.

Our #ElbowsUp Summit in September highlighted the dangerous regression in Canada's trade profile since 2000, with primary staples now making up almost 50% of merch exports. We need to diversify not just where we sell, but what we sell: policyalternatives.ca/news-researc... #cdnecon #canlab
