"Globalist establishment" of an entire nation sounds somewhat contradictory for a headline.
I honestly like the first title idea, but HankMoody had a good point about the "silent majority" too. It shows social proof and recall how Trump's used it to great effect.

Depends on what you want to do and who you want to market to. "Globalist establishment" is a bit arcane, but probably not to your own niche market.
"Silent Majority" sounds like 80's-era Conserv-speak.
For that matter, 'Globalist' plays to us, but I don't think the concept has still reached the masses. Trump firing his 'Globalism' cannon shot across the battlefield reads as a watershed moment for guys like us - and I'm guessing /pol/ looks all Randy Marsh about now - but I don't think the Proles really register the concept as it's too vague and too multi-applicable, and it doesn't work to mobilise and infuriate the way 'The 1%' works for Progressives, or even 'The Illuminati' seems to work for those I'd consider largely-asleep.
What exactly is it? I've watched it transfer through various meanings in my life.
I mean, is 'Globalisation' about 60's / 70's Hippie Ideals like 'It's A Small World' and 'One Hundred Children', and every classroom poster in the 70's of diverse kids in national dress holding hands around a planet?
It it 80's Environmentalism, such as Saving the Rainforests, stopping nuclear power, or blocking a Tasmanian hydroelectric dam because you have a responsibility
as a citizen of the world to care for the earth?
Is it about 90's Free Trade and Coca-Colonisation, erasing poverty, organic coffee, monitoring sweatshops and fearing Psychopathic Corporations?
Or does now mean Open Borders, Anti-Nationalism and constant TV shows and movies about how
Mankind is the Real Monster?
To my eyes it's just the natural progression of Leftist Ideals, but to others, well, I think you could ask five different people what 'Globalisation' is and get five different answers.
Would "How 90 Men Triumphed Over PC Hysteria" be an easier sell?
The Battle of Canada sounds like a wrestling match. If you go that route get the Bally rolling:
Treason vs Reason!
The Media vs A Leader!
Progressives vs Aggressives!
Feminists vs Men With Fists!
Politicians vs Tactiticans!
Academia vs Cool Demeanor!
