Strategic Autonomy in the Age of Asymmetry: A conversation between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and MAP CEO Nader Mousavizadeh
May 2026
At The Economic Club of New York, MAP Founding Partner and CEO Nader Mousavizadeh spoke with Prime Minister Mark Carney about how Canada is navigating a fracturing global order, and what its strategy means for investors.
The conversation covered how Canada is responding to the forces reshaping the global economy — from the weaponisation of integrated trade networks, to heightened competition over energy and critical mineral inputs, and the strain on traditional alliances and security guarantees.
For corporates and investors, the discussion underscored the central dynamic of what MAP calls the 'Age of Asymmetry’. In this environment, geopolitical risk runs directly through supply chains, market access and capital allocation, and the ability to read asymmetric dynamics has become essential to deploying capital with confidence.
