This week, Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump made waves in Davos, Switzerland as both offered competing visions of a new world order. Government and business leaders were in the Alps for the annual World Economic Forum, where the U.S. struck a ‘deal’ with NATO on Greenland and Trump launched his Board of Peace. The Globe’s international affairs columnist Doug Saunders is here to explain Canada’s place in a changing world order, as long-standing partnerships were tested and the foundation for competing alliances was laid.
