Your Prime Minister stands before billionaires at the World Economic Forum to sell Canada as an investment opportunity. You hear it as a "rah rah Canada" moment. Both are true. The disconnect matters because the audience in that room isn't you, and the speech wasn't designed for working people.

 

Fifteen minutes of messaging includes direct moments addressed to Canadians specifically, which signals the dual purpose. Using "hegemony" instead of "dominance" makes the point harder to grasp for no good reason. The speech acknowledges what usually gets ignored: violence and greed have always driven global economics. Meanwhile, Trump's release of private texts from France and NATO leadership breaks trust in ways that are being overlooked.

 

Understand why good news only counts if the promises actually happen, and why they might not. Learn the definition of hegemony and why political vocabulary choices reveal more than the words themselves.
