The annual gathering of global elites at the World Economic Forum in Davos is usually an easy skip. It typically features a parade of bureaucrats and technocrats, both elected and unelected, proudly touting their plans for “managing the world.”

But this year, there were a couple of particularly interesting speeches from two world leaders who stand in stark opposition to one another. 

In today’s episode, my co-host Marc Clair and I break down the Davos speeches from U.S. President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and why Carney’s in particular was quite surprising to hear.
