Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney delivered a fiery critique of global power dynamics at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos, declaring the so-called rules-based international order a "fiction" and urging middle powers to challenge what he called American hegemony. 🌐⚖️
Speaking to global elites on January 21, 2026, Carney argued that nations like Canada have been "performing sovereignty while accepting subordination," comparing geopolitical influence to a high-stakes dinner party: "If we are not at the table, we are on the menu." His remarks come as tensions rise over trade policies and military alliances reshaping the global landscape.
The PM’s comments reflect growing frustration among mid-sized economies navigating U.S.-China competition. Analysts suggest Carney’s blunt language signals Canada’s push for a more assertive role in 2026’s multipolar world order. 💼🌍
