Mike Myers tells Canadians to 'elbow up' to Trump in new ad
Briefly

In a recent political ad for Canada's Liberal Party, comedian Mike Myers promotes the message to "elbow up" in support of Prime Minister Mark Carney. The phrase, a nod to Canadian hockey, serves as a metaphorical rallying cry against U.S. President Trump's tariff threats. Myers makes a pointed statement about Canadian identity during his appearance, urging unity while wearing a jersey with the slogan "Never 51"—a rebuttal to Trump's suggestion of Canadian annexation. Prime Minister Carney emphasized the seriousness of the trade crisis, challenging Trump's claims about Canada's sovereignty and identity.
Myers called on Canadians to "elbow up" in a Liberal Party election ad, seemingly taking a jab at US President Donald Trump.
We are facing the most significant crisis of our lifetimes because of President Trump's unjustified trade actions and his threats to our sovereignty.
There will always be a Canada," Carney responded. "Elbows up," Myers replied - a reference to the hockey term popularized by Canadian ice hockey player Gordie Howe.
Myers, famous for movies like "Austin Powers" and "Wayne's World," used the phrase in an appearance on "Saturday Night Live" earlier this month.
