The Rupture: Carney's Landmark Speech
CANADALAND
How Serious Is Trump's Greenland Claim?
Max argues Trump's behavior may be irrational rather than strategic and examines U.S. public opinion on Greenland.
As Trump’s threats of taking Greenland intensify, world leaders are in Davos for the World Economic Forum. It’s been a busy week for Mark Carney, following up diplomatic visits to China and Qatar with a landmark speech at the WEF that lays bare the unravelling of the global order.
Plus, allegations of “crying rooms” at the CBC and the one year anniversary of DOGE.
