> The idea is the liberal group’s response to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s call for what he called “middle powers” to come together to “build something bigger, better, stronger, more just” during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
As much as speeches can just be a lot of words, it does seem like we have an audience. Canada is taking initiative, and other countries are following. We need to keep leading to create the momentum that’ll snowball into something big.

Nothing would make me happier, as far as international geopolitics goes, than to see middle powers *actually coordinate and stand up* to Trump.
Carney’s Davos speech was good, but now let’s actually act on it.

What BS is this? NATO is definitely not a trade pact, nor does any trade pact look like NATO

“Middle Powers”…
What a joke. Canada deserves to be a superpower in its own right (on par with the United States)

The greater our ability to cooperate with one another – the greater we will advance as a society. Love to see this kind of collaboration at play.

Makes no sense if the EU wants to keep all their trade barriers and regulations. There’s already a high disincentive to trade just due to the shipping cost.

Or you could, you know just diversify your trade and eliminate the problem altogether. But of course that is impossible simply due to geography. USA makes 80% of all trade with us, the rest of the world combined only makes up 20%.
