Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's bold statement at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, sent shockwaves through the global community in January, marking a significant shift in Canada's stance on international relations. In a speech that resonated with many middle-power nations, Carney declared the end of the global rules-based order, a system that has long been the cornerstone of international cooperation and diplomacy.

The speech has been hailed as a symbol of resistance by smaller countries seeking to assert their autonomy and challenge the status quo.
