A new 'golden age' of Canadian diplomacy? Don't count on it, foreign policy analysts say

OTTAWA — Surrounded by global elites and influencers, Mark Carney stepped on the global stage and crystallized what many had been thinking: it’s time to accept that the world order of the last 80 years has dramatically and permanently changed.  

It’s a “rupture,” Carney told the World Economic Forum audience at Davos, Switzerland on Jan. 20, “not a transition.” The “rules-based international order” is gone and not returning any time soon, the Canadian prime minister said in a speech that attracted global attention.
