A Pan-American Block, Not Just Latin American. One of the points of greatest international impact is the inclusion of key figures from the Parliament of Canada, including members of the governing Liberal Party and NDP leaders. This breaks the narrative of a “North-South confrontation” and positions the demand as a requirement for hemispheric legality.

Across the Americas, progressives are on the frontline of defending democracy across borders. Read Clement Nocos's dispatch from the 2025 Panamerican Congress, where the Global South showed us how to build a vision for a good society. 🔗➡️ perspectivesjournal....
A Perspectives journal article titled "What Canadians Can Learn from Progressives Across the Americas." A quote from the article reads "If Canada wants to build better relationships with these countries, like Mexico, Canadians need to understand how they have built their social and economic infrastructure for the fulfillment of human rights. These countries are especially wary of Canada when its economic interests heap human rights abuses and environmental damage on Indigenous lands, and exploit migrant workers from these Global South nations."

Mark Carney declared that, “the old order is not coming back” despite neoliberalism being largely responsible for its decline. It’s up to progressives to re-envision how we defend democracy in Canada and abroad. Read more at broadbentinstitute.ca/old-order-carney-social-democracy
A purple graphic features the text "The world reacts to Mark Carney’s declaration at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland that, 'the old order is not coming back' in spite of neoliberalism being largely responsible for its decline. At the 2016 Progress Summit, Ed Broadbent was prescient in stating," above a 2016 quote from Ed Broadbent that reads "If a blind faith in unfettered markets continues to prevail, I believe the social foundation for our democracies will continue to be shaken." A geometric leaf appears in the top right corner.

All of you are taking hot dog guy at his word in reacting to the Carney WEF speech. Neoliberalism is the erratic driving of the weinermobile and Trump is the crash and this moment at the lectern is the quote.

Guys, Carney is just saying the same things that Lula and Gustavo Petro and everyone in Latin America and the Global South have been saying forever. Relax about this being an "admission" when its been reality for a while—he's still going to be a neoliberal and flash Keynesian in crisis, don't worry.

When he reached the Israeli prison, U.S. human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back.
When his lawyer met with him, Chris was surrounded by six members of Israel’s special police unit. This level of force was not used against other abducted activists.The Freedom Flotilla Coalitions condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced.
