b'Last week, after a video of one of his speeches went viral, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had to address a growing controversy over \\u201cThe Great Reset\\u201d.\\n\\nThe term means different things to different people. To the World Economic Forum it\\u2019s a vague goal to make the world more equal and address climate change in the wake of the pandemic. To Conservative finance critic Pierre Poilievre it\\u2019s evidence of a \\u201cpower grab\\u201d by \\u201cglobal financial elites\\u201d.\\n\\nAnd to others, it\\u2019s part of a baseless and wide-ranging conspiracy theory. CBC senior writer Aaron Wherry has been covering this story in Ottawa. Today he helps us sort the real economics and politics at play\\u2026 from the conspiracy gaining traction.'
