In a speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Prime Minister Mark Carney told other nations that competing to appease the world's great powers is 'the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination,' and asserted that the old, semi-fictional world order based on rules is 'not coming back — we should not mourn it.' Senator and former G7 sherpa Peter Boehm and former Canadian deputy permanent representative to the UN Louise Blais discuss Canada's daunting task of finding a new place in the global power structure. Plus, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe explains why the Canada-China meetings he attended in Beijing last week were 'the most positive' he's seen.
