Carney’s ‘Defeatist’ Dismissal of International Law | The Tyee

Sad to say, but the Carney Doctrine is bs. The speech he gave in Davos and what we see in practice are two very different things.

No, this is literally exactly what he said in Davos.

Remember the part about how we can only afford to be generous from strength? His point was that beggars don’t get to influence the systems that govern our world in a meaningful way, i.e. sometimes you have to focus on building yourself up in order to be a force for good.

I agree that it’s what he said in Davos, but this ‘doctrine’ is effectively just caving to the outlook of Trump, Putin, et al, which deems that economic and military might make right, and that we should measure human worth in GDP rather than the inherent value of one’s humanity.

The Carney Doctrine is Value over Values, in other words. It’s really cynical and shitty tbh

He dealt with Brexiters, the IDU and Trump, not hard to be cynical.
