Carney's Law
Canadian prime minister calls Iran war an extreme example of a rupturing world order
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says he regrets the Iran war is an extreme example of a rupturing world order in which countries increasingly act without respect for international norms and laws
Carney was speaking at the Lowy Institute, a Sydney-based international policy think tank, during the Australian leg of a trade-focused, three-nation visit that began in India. He will ddress the Australian Parliament on Thursday before flying to Japan on Friday.
Yet oddly enough, those 'laws and norms' don't necessarily include scientific laws or the desirable but elusive norms of sound science, political veracity, honesty, free speech or worthwhile democracy.
Fortunately there is no world order in Carney's global bureaucrat's sense - at least not yet. Maybe we should be gratified that climate change no longer seems to be the main culprit disrupting it all.

Maybe he just takes that as read, AKH.
James - he probably does, as we know he's one for moving on.
Considering the whole world is acting without respect for norms and laws, international or otherwise, I wonder what Carney thinks he's talking about?
Tammly - it's hard to say, he speaks well but comes across as a globalist PR guy with no great interest in the real world beyond Mark Carney.
