Canada’s PM Mark Carney Declares End of U.S. Hegemony: “Rules-Based Order Was a Lie”
January 21, 2026
A line just got crossed.
Canada’s prime minister is openly saying what many governments only whisper: the era of unquestioned U.S. dominance is ending. This isn’t about anti-American sentiment, it’s about refusing a world where power excuses lawlessness, double standards, and endless wars.
Choosing principles over pressure comes at a cost. But so does silence.
This is what a crack in hegemony looks like. And once cracks appear, the whole system starts to shift.

English Script:
Marc Carney: We knew the story of the international rules based order was partially false, that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient, that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically, and we knew that international law applied with varying rigor, depending on the identity of the accused or the victim. This fiction was useful, and American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security, and support for frameworks for resolving disputes. So we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals, and we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality. This bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition. Over the past two decades, a series of crises in finance, health, energy and geopolitics have laid bare the risks of extreme global integration. But more recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as weapons, tariffs as leverage, financial infrastructure as coercion, supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.
