A moment where a country steps forward and proves that it is no longer a supporting actor in global affairs, but a leading force. Today, that country was Canada. And the leader who made it happen was Mark Carney. At the G20 summit in South Africa, something remarkable happened. Carney walked onto the global stage and spoke with a level of authority. clarity and intelligence that instantly separated him from the rest of the pack. Not as a politician trying to score points, not as a diplomat reading talking points, but as a true global leader shaping the conversation. What you're about to see in his full G20 speech isn't just another political moment. It's the start of Canada stepping into a new global role. a role built on credibility, economic strategy, 1:01 and independence from Trump era 1:04 volatility. 1:05 Let's break down exactly why this G20 1:08 speech is so significant and why 1:11 analysts around the world are already 1:14 calling this one of Canada's strongest 1:16 global showings in years. 1:18 I now want to ask his excellency, 1:21 Prime Minister of Canada, Dr. Mark 1:25 Joseph Khani to take the floor. 1:28 Thank you chair. I will try to follow 1:30 the Australian example. Let me start. 1:32 This session is on resilience. Um and I 1:34 want to join others who pointed out in 1:37 the first session uh the fragility of 1:38 armed conflict uh condemning the 1:40 Russia's illegal unjustified and 1:42 barbaric invasion of Ukraine, the 1:44 appalling conflict in Sudan and our 1:46 support for all efforts uh that can lead 1:49 to just and lasting peace. Carney begins 1:52 by addressing the world's cascading 1:54 crises, 1:56 economic instability, political 1:58 fractures, and climate shocks. But he 2:02 does it in a way that only someone with 2:04 real global experience can. He doesn't 2:08 sound nervous. He doesn't sound 2:10 scripted. He sounds like he belongs 2:12 there, like someone who's already been 2:15 shaping international policy for 2:17 decades. And instantly, it's clear why 2:20 global leaders respect him. Carney 2:23 understands the scale of the moment. He 2:26 frames the world's challenges with 2:28 precision and offers solutions with 2:31 maturity. You don't see that often from 2:34 a G20 podium and certainly not from 2:37 Canada in recent years. 2:39 Now, let me speak to climate change. 2:41 It's been over a decade that we've 2:43 realized that past is not prologue with 2:45 respect to climate change. In other 2:47 words, the tail risks of yesterday 2:49 become the central scenarios uh of 2:52 today. Tipping points are now being 2:54 realized. I want to give an example. Two 2:57 years ago, the forest fires in Canada 2:59 alone made Canada the fourth largest 3:03 emitter of carbon in the world. Uh we 3:07 have the example of the Darwin cyclone. 3:09 uh last year or this year uh forest fire 3:12 damage uh for us bigger than Sierra Leon 3:16 to give orders of magnitude. Uh so we 3:19 need action on all levels. Mitigation, 3:21 adaptation, and resilience. 3:22 International collaboration is crucial. 3:24 I want to thank our host South Africa, 3:26 Mexico, and others who sent firefighters 3:28 to Canada to help fight the fires. 3:31 Carney then shifts into a powerful 3:33 analysis of climate risk, not as an 3:36 activist issue, not as a political 3:39 talking point, but as an economic force 3:42 reshaping global markets. He explains 3:46 that climate risk is now an investment 3:48 risk, that infrastructure failure is now 3:51 an economic cost, that climate shocks 3:54 are now directly tied to national GDP. 3:58 What makes us so powerful is that Carney 4:00 is one of the only leaders who can 4:02 connect science, economics, finance, and 4:07 national strategy into one coherent 4:11 message. This is not someone reacting to 4:14 the world. This is someone who knows how 4:17 to navigate it. And the room felt that. 4:20 In terms of our own mitigation, I'll 4:23 just frame it as follows. We view 4:25 addressing climate change as a moral 4:27 duty but also a commercial imperative as 4:30 Prime Minister Albanesi just intimated. 4:32 So our strategy on reducing emissions is 4:34 a climate competitiveness strategy 4:36 because it will make our businesses 4:38 stronger. Um I referenced in my earlier 4:41 comments uh blended finance. I'll just 4:44 reinforce those the importance of those 4:46 efforts uh including through the World 4:48 Bank and beyond. But I want to highlight 4:50 a few other issues before my time is up. 4:53 First, the importance of high integrity 4:55 standardized carbon markets that have 4:57 the potential to shift capital flows to 5:00 those most affected by climate change, 5:02 including uh being integrated with jetps 5:04 such as the jetp here, uh changing the 5:07 incentives and the financial can uh 5:09 calculations to decarbonize. I'd suggest 5:13 that we can catalyze enormous private 5:16 sector demand for these credits by 5:18 committing AI data center development uh 5:20 to be carbon neutral. We need a price on 5:23 carbon. I'm salute my neighbor uh the 5:26 European Union uh in pricing carbon and 5:28 putting in place uh a CBA. I'm going to 5:32 conclude 5:33 by drawing attention to the situation of 5:36 one of the members around this table and 5:38 I hope Prime Minister Holes of Jamaica 5:40 will allow me. The economic cost of 5:43 Hurricane Melissa 5:45 is about 40% of Jamaica's GDP. Carney's 5:50 next point is one that resonated across 5:52 the entire summit. Resilience is cheaper 5:56 than disaster. He emphasizes early 5:59 investment, better infrastructure, 6:02 smarter energy systems, stronger supply 6:05 chains. He ties climate risk directly to 6:09 competitiveness. And this is where 6:11 Carney separates himself from other 6:13 leaders. Instead of lecturing the world, 6:16 he gives them a model, a financial road 6:20 map for resilience. This is the Carney 6:23 difference. He speaks the language of 6:25 central bankers, global investors, and 6:28 prime ministers at the same time. 6:31 Now, through remarkable discipline, 6:34 Jamaica had reduced their debt to GDP by 6:37 over 50 percentage points in recent 6:39 years. That is all gone with the 6:41 explosive hurricane. This demonstrates 6:43 the importance of investing in 6:45 resilience in advance, the importance of 6:47 catastrophic risk insurance and the 6:49 reality of what climate change uh is 6:52 doing to our countries. Uh I salute the 6:54 ambition uh of the G20 presidency uh 6:58 Turkey uh for hosting COP alongside 7:02 Australia next year. 7:03 One of the most striking moments comes 7:05 when Carney references the devastating 7:07 economic loss Jamaica suffered during 7:10 Hurricane Melissa. 7:12 nearly 40% of its GDP wiped out. He uses 7:17 this example not to shock people, but to 7:20 explain exactly why climate resilience 7:23 and economic stability are the same 7:25 issue. This is when the room's energy 7:28 changes. 7:30 Carney isn't giving a speech. He's 7:32 delivering a lesson, one that resonates 7:36 from the global south to the G7. Let's 7:39 look at how Canadian and international 7:42 analysts responded because their 7:44 reaction was immediate. Political 7:47 strategists noted something important. 7:50 Carney's presence at the G20 felt 7:52 different. It felt serious. It felt 7:55 credible. They contrasted it with past 7:59 Canadian performances at global summits 8:02 where symbolism often overshadowed 8:04 substance. 8:06 Carney wasn't the center of attention 8:08 because of his socks, jokes, or photo 8:11 ops. He was talking about investment, 8:14 climate, resilience, and the global 8:17 economy. This is the tone Canada needs, 8:20 and it's the tone the world respects. 8:24 And joining us now is conservative 8:26 strategist Rean Watts. Rean, good to see 8:28 you. Welcome. 8:30 Good morning. 8:31 So the criticism will be that this was 8:35 just another photo op for Mark Carney. 8:38 What tangibles do you see coming out of 8:40 this summit for Canada? 8:42 Well, it's good to be with you, Renee, 8:44 and happy Saturday. Uh, a couple of 8:46 things I think is important for context 8:48 uh for your viewers. First is these 8:50 summits and summitry in and of itself uh 8:53 rarely delivers an outcome, a hard 8:56 deliverable for any country, much less 8:58 Canada. But I should say and we should 9:00 stop and at least acknowledge that thank 9:02 goodness we don't have stories about our 9:04 prime minister's socks and what he's 9:06 wearing uh like we had with the long 9:08 national nightmare known as Justin 9:09 Trudeau. Uh the prime minister is 9:10 showing up serious talking investment 9:12 and trade among other things. Um and 9:15 Canada is well represented on the world 9:16 stage. Um I think though what we'll see 9:19 coming out of uh both the trip to Abu 9:21 Dhabi for the prime minister and the G20 9:23 summit and the meetings that the prime 9:24 minister and his team are having on the 9:26 margins of that summit uh is something 9:28 akin to what you would have seen last 9:29 week from the Swedish government when 9:31 they visited Ottawa with Saab. Um you 9:33 know the the the prime minister is 9:35 eminently credible uh with international 9:37 partners. uh and clearly his visits to 9:39 Europe in the summer yielded uh 9:41 attention and affection from the Swedes 9:44 who came into Ottawa last week and 9:45 talked about uh jobs that they wanted to 9:47 create uh through uh defense and 9:49 security investment. Um I think we'll 9:52 see the results of this summit uh from 9:54 the prime minister likely in a couple of 9:55 months from now. Um 9:57 the news discussions reveal something 9:59 that should matter to every Canadian. 10:02 Carney is restoring Canada's relevance 10:04 on the world stage. Summits are not 10:07 about handshakes or speeches. They're 10:10 about quietly building future deals, 10:13 opening doors, and forming alliances 10:16 that pay off months later. And the 10:18 analysts highlight a perfect example. 10:22 Carney's earlier diplomatic work with 10:24 Sweden turned into real defense and 10:27 economic cooperation. 10:30 This is how global leadership functions. 10:33 You plant seeds internationally and you 10:35 harvest results later. Carney is doing 10:39 exactly that at the G20. 10:42 One of the most fascinating takeaways 10:44 from the online discourse has been that 10:47 Trump wasn't a factor. Not in Carney's 10:50 speech, not in the reactions, not in the 10:54 interpretation. 10:56 Carney operated independently. 10:59 Canada operated independently. and 11:02 analysts implicitly recognize that 11:04 Canada's foreign policy no longer 11:07 revolves around American approval. In a 11:10 world where Trump once overshadowed 11:12 every Canadian diplomatic move, this 11:15 moment matters. Carney showed that 11:18 Canada doesn't need to follow the US 11:20 playbook to be taken seriously. This is 11:23 the birth of a new era. Canada as a 11:27 confident, independent voice in global 11:30 affairs. 11:31 Car's G20 performance raises a huge 11:34 question for Canadians. 11:36 Do you think this marks the beginning of 11:38 a new era where Canada becomes a real 11:42 global leader again? Or was this simply 11:45 a great moment for Carney in the 11:47 international spotlight? Is he restoring 11:50 Canada's credibility? Or is the world 11:53 simply hungry for leadership at a time 11:55 of global uncertainty? 11:57 Let me know your thoughts in the 11:58 comments. 12:00 I read every single one of them.
