This answer by 🇨🇦 Mark Carney is a really good example of how his mind works. He’s playing a game of chess so to speak. He has a very logical mind. He really is the Star Trek Spok of world leaders.
"Last point on this for me, that you, again if I hear you correctly, emphasizing those disagreements particularly publicly doesn't really get countries like Canada anywhere. The critics would say you are so focused on business and jobs and money that you're just looking away from those other things and I'm assuming you would see that differently. I definitely see that differently. I do see that lecturing countries from afar is an ineffective strategy. It's satisfying but it's ineffective. Engagement can be effective, it doesn't mean it's always effective, doesn't mean it's decisive but it can be effective. We care deeply about human rights, we care deeply about self-determination for nations, we care deeply about territorial integrity of nations, we care deeply about Canadian consular cases. I addressed a Canadian consular case in Ankara two days ago and because I was with the president it was addressed favorably. If I sat in Ottawa and pointed out all the things that we might not agree with what Turkey has done or is doing or might do, I wouldn't have had that conversation, I wouldn't have had that impact. That's a small example but it is an example of a broader point."
