Thank you, Larry.

It’s a pleasure – and a duty – to be with you tonight in this pivotal moment that Canada and the world are going through.

Tonight, I’ll talk about a rupture in the world order, the end of a pleasant fiction, and the beginning of a harsh reality where geopolitics – where the large, main power – is submitted to no limits, no constraints.
