The title is the original CBC title. It's a good speech. Here's a video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtF630gnvZQ

If Canada’s PM can see this, then why can't Australia's? Albo, are you really going to wait and hope not to be noticed while our ally turns into the Fourth Reich, doing nothing to separate ourselves before it's too late?

    I think that in the future, this very speech may be considered the point at which it became impossible ignore the cracks in the dam.

    I don’t think I’ve seen any world leader so cogently, clearly, pragmatically, and forcefully make the point that the old geopolitical order is genuinely dead and gone, that pretending otherwise is a recipe for disaster, but also that there is still a third option for non-superpowers aside from placation and subservience.
