Lots of (mostly) serious links for those who seek facts beyond headlines (Apparently that’s bad) often delivered with wry, dry 🇨🇦Canadian humour

Mark Carney on CNN
“worth it” IN CONTEXT

(i have only removed the words “uh” & “and” from the transcript)
CNN 6:30 “…in terms of when you look back at this, do you believe this war was worth it in in Canada's view?)
(MC) I think that you know the #1 risk
I answered this question 3yo years ago or so at Davos
I was asked what's the #1 risk in the global economy
I said Iran
it was at a time when people were not focused on Iran because I've always believed that it's the biggest exporter of terror
it was hellbent
sorry if I can say that
on getting a nuclear weapon
the force multiplier on that of course was terrible
so going/getting to a position where Iran is not going to have a nuclear weapon
look I'm not naive about this the reintegration of Iran this is a regime that needs to learn to be civilised
needs to behave that's (7:16) why you have performance measures
lots needs to happen
we all have to support it
but moving to this position where that's been taken off the table
Yes, THAT's worth it” 𝑒𝑚𝑝ℎ𝑎𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑒
(he goes on to discuss Ukraine)
