he added, we take
the world as it is – not as
we wish it to be
Adapted from the article, Mark Carney in China positions Canada for ‘the world as it is, not as we wish it’ by Amy Hawkins and Leyland Cecco in Toronto.
The story has the slug line of “PM’s visit to Beijing seen as a welcome reset to relations in a ‘new world order’ but critics worry what trade deal could mean for Canadian workers”.
It closes with this line.
Carney also spoke of “red lines” for Ottawa, including concerns about human rights and interference in Canadian elections. But : “We take the world as it is – not as we wish it to be.”
This poll was NOT a part of this story but it goes to the point of the world as it is.
I am aware that this plays right into the hands of those who feel that the USA has not part to play on the world stage.
There are those who feel that the USA has no role in world events.
There are those who says that the USA should stay home and take care of itself.
So how has they been working out you ask?
Somehow how we got a president who does not care about right or wrong, who treats truth as a tool, who shows little interest in a coherent world view, who dismisses the struggles of poor people as inconveniences, who treats the Constitution as an obstacle, who mocks rules of decency as weakness, and who bends or breaks the law whenever it serves his ego, because power and attention matter more to him than principle, responsibility, empathy, or accountability, leaving supporters and critics alike to confront a politics driven by grievance, spectacle, and self interest rather than justice, shared norms, or democratic restraint.
GOSH!
I admit, I asked Chat GPT to describe that current mad in office and that was the response.
Gotta agree with but thinking of famous story of Ben Franklin telling Thomas Jefferson about the man with the sign saying that the man made hats. The sign was cut in the shape of a hat and also had the man’s name on it. Franklin show Jefferson that all that was needed was the sign in the shape of the hat and the man’s name and cut all the words about hats for sale and such.
With that in mind can we work on what Chat GPT wrote?
How about we get by with saying just, we got a president who does not care about right or wrong.
Thinking about this some more, all we really need is, we got a president who does not care.
