Is Canada’s Prime Minister an Expat Money fan?

Jan 24, 2026 5:31 pm

There is a strong tendency for countries to go along, to get along, to accommodate, to avoid trouble, to hope that compliance will buy safety.


Well, it won’t.


… although the above sounds strikingly similar to what I’d say myself… THOSE AREN’T MY WORDS.


I am in complete agreement with the message above… and am just as shocked as you may be that this was verbatim what Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said just a few days back during his Davos speech. 


And white Carney is talking about countries, the question you should be asking is: if compliance won’t buy safety for nations, why would it protect you?


“We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.”


“The rules-based international order no longer functions as advertised.”

“The old order is not coming back. Nostalgia is not a strategy.”


These again are direct quotes from Mark Carney.


Some of my staff were even joking that the Prime Minister of Canada must have borrowed some of his talking points from a discussion I had with my colleague Marc Clair on a recent episode of The Expat Money Show.  


“Tariffs are leverage. Financial infrastructure is coercion. Supply chains are vulnerable to exploitation.”


“A country that can’t feed itself, fuel itself, or defend itself has few options.”


“When the rules no longer protect you, you must protect yourself.”


“Sovereignty will increasingly be anchored in the ability to withstand pressure.”


Again (shockingly), these words came directly from the mouth of Mark Carney.


Hearing this speech for the first time quite literally stopped me in my tracks.


Remember, this is not just some low-level city councillor type speaking at a local town hall…


This is the leader of a G8 country describing what most people have mistakenly assumed could only become a reality in some distant future… let alone ever.


To watch someone so influential on a global stage put words to the masses about the very reality I’ve been living in for a long, long time is quite refreshing, if I’m being frank.


I’ve been saying much of the same since long before it was obvious, and certainly long before a leader of the free world said it on a stage in front of hundreds of the world’s biggest powerbrokers. 


What Carney is now calling a “rupture” is what I’ve been preparing for and have been helping families and investors just like you prepare for, for the past decade.


I am talking about practical, legal, real-world solutions that protect you, your family and your assets from said “rupture”.


The truth is, most of the general public doesn’t want to hear about the consequential realities we are rapidly heading toward.


…until it is jammed down their throat by the “media machine,” and it becomes fashionable to “care”...


But you know better than to wait any longer.


…and to the Canadians reading this who may have trouble letting go of the idealistic version of Canada…


Does anything of what you just read sound reassuring, or does it sound like there are turbulent times ahead for you and your loved ones if you remain solely dependent on your home systems?


The part that used to only be muttered in elite circles is now being said loudly on one of the most important stages in the world. 


…if you haven’t started working on putting a Plan-B in place, it’s time to get to work. 




Speak soon,

Mikkel
