I wish to share my deepest condolences and sorrow for the residents of Tumbler Ridge, B.C. following the devastating shooting that took the lives of nine people, including five children, and injured 27 others. My family, our friends wrap you in love and hold you in our thoughts and prayers.
Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech at the World Economic Forum in January was both brilliant and telling. And he minced no words. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition, he said, expanding his belief that "great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons, tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited."
So, he said, Canada as a middle power is engaging broadly, strategically, with open eyes, taking on the world as it is, not waiting for a world we wish to be. In that context, we are building strength at home while seeking new partnerships around the world. The old order, he warned, is not coming back. And that's OK. Powerful countries may have their leverage but it will be the middle powers - 50 plus countries - that will, through cooperation and trade, benefit and thrive, moving forward in new directions.
