Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stood up in Davos and didn’t waste words. He gave a speech that cut through the noise.

The room stood. The world noticed.

He said, “If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.”

People replayed that line like it was a lifeline.

This episode of The Week Unspun comes straight from the snowy peaks of Davos, but the questions are sharp and wide-reaching.
Can speeches still move people to action?
Can we trust the Edelman Trust Barometer, or has its credibility fractured like the world it measures?
And as the World Economic Forum eyes cities like Detroit and Dublin, what happens when the name “Davos” no longer fits the map?
