New World Order’: Global Language, Local Consequences

New World Order’: Global Language, Local Consequences”

“In recent remarks, Mark Carney spoke about global change and said Canada’s progress with China ‘sets us up well for a new world order.’

Those words stood out — because ‘new world order’ isn’t just rhetoric. In policy terms, it often signals deeper global integration that can affect trade, sovereignty, and domestic decision-making.

Around the same time, Jordan Keeley, an Independent MLA and farmer-mechanic, shared why that language concerns him.

Keeley argues that globalization — once sold as cheaper goods and open markets — has instead led to outsourcing, shrinking domestic production, rising costs, and reduced local control.

He points to everyday examples Canadians feel: smaller products for higher prices, dependence on foreign supply chains, and decisions made far from the communities they affect.

Keeley says when leaders talk about a ‘new world order,’ Canadians should ask a simple question: who gains control — and who loses it?

Whether people agree or disagree, the issue isn’t conspiracy. It’s accountability, transparency, and whether global decisions still serve the people living with the consequences.
