Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said the world can make progress on a range of issues without the US, and that consensus reached at a Group of 20 (G-20) leaders’ meeting in Johannesburg
At the press conference, he detailed his attempts to strengthen ties with nations ranging from South Africa to India and China.
Okay then, tackle climate change.
That’s the most important one. Unfortunately it’s almost impossible to compel compliance from major economies.
Our best chance is what Carney is doing, move on without them in as many domains as possible and wait for the US to collapse or reform, then invite them to the big kids table again.
I note the large investiment from Saudi Arabia going towards Canada mentioned in the article; I’m not sure stopping fossil fuels is quite what he has in mind ='(
Remember, the United States is the largest oil producer in the world. Canada is number 4 right behind Russia.
We are not quite a Petro state but we are pretty close.
