Speaking at the recent Global Progress Action Summit in Toronto, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canadians are facing a “more dangerous world,” and that his response is to prioritize “actual building.”

Carney said that Canadians must “build anew” amid challenges to the international rules-based order, echoing his remarks to a global audience at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, followed by remarks to Canadians in Quebec City in January.
