On January 20, Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney delivered what many have described as a standout address at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
The speech quickly travelled beyond the room, reverberating across countries, news cycles, and commentary. Much has already been said about why it resonated so strongly. But from a communicator’s perspective, it’s also worth pausing to look at how it was structured.
From a communications standpoint, here are six takeaways from the speech worth paying attention to:
1.An opening rooted in shared reality.
2.Direct naming over euphemism.
3.Story used to ground complexity.
4.A central idea stated plainly and repeated with purpose.
5.Clarity over jargon.
6.A close grounded in ownership and confidence.
These are not rhetorical flourishes. They are deliberate communication choices that build credibility, invite understanding, and help ideas travel far beyond the moment they’re delivered.
When you’re writing, how much thought do you give to structure, clarity, and how your message will land beyond the moment?

IABC Edmonton Wrapped 2025 🎧
This year, we didn’t just post content. We built connection.
From CommUnity nights where real conversations took centre stage, to professional development that sharpened our skills, to stories that amplified the people behind the work, 2025 was about showing up for the craft of communication and for each other.
We wrapped the year with Behind the Campaign, bringing communicators together for thoughtful conversations on strategy, storytelling, and civic engagement. It was a fitting reminder of what this community does best when we gather in the same room.
This is our year in review.
This is IABC Edmonton Wrapped.
Looking ahead to 2026, more connection, more learning, and more stories that matter.
