Carney Declares End of Rules‑Based Order at Davos
Carney tells world in Davos the old rules‑based order is over and urges middle powers to unite.
On Tuesday, January 20 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a stark speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, declaring that the old rules‑based international order is over and “not coming back.” He argued that great powers use economic integration as a weapon, and that middle powers such as Canada are in jeopardy if they negotiate bilaterally. Carney referenced the U.S.‑led trade bloc, the Canada‑U.S.‑Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) review, and noted Donald Trump’s rhetoric over Greenland and Venezuela. Former diplomat Peter Boehm said the remarks were the most consequential Canadian foreign‑policy statement since Louis St. Laurent’s 1947 declaration. Analysts warn that Canada must now coordinate with other middle powers to shape a new global framework.
