Actor and comedian Mike Myers has gone viral after joining Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for a video message that mocks President Donald Trump and his plan to make Canada the 51st state of the United States.
In the Liberal Party skit, Mike Myers and Mark Carney—both dressed in red Canada jerseys—share a moment at a hockey practice. Carney starts off skeptical of Myers, questioning his Canadian credentials since he now lives in the United States, despite being born and raised in Canada.
Myers—who found fame on Saturday Night Live—reassures Carney of his Canadian identity, insisting, "I'll always be Canadian," before proving it with a rapid-fire quiz on Canadian TV and Toronto's "two seasons": winter and construction.
But Myers flips the script, asking Carney a weightier question:
"Will there always be a Canada?"
Carney vows:
"There will always be a Canada."
The two exchange the phrase "elbows up"—a hockey term for defending yourself and fighting back, now repurposed as a rallying cry against Trump's repeated assertions that Canada should be the 51st state.

But the sharpest jab at Trump comes in silence. As the camera pulls back, the name on the back of Myers’ jersey is revealed: NEVER 51.

Carney shared the video to his social media followers—with the phrase "elbows up," of course.
People loved every second of it.
Carney's decision to call a snap election for April 28 underscores the growing tensions between Canada and the U.S., as he seeks a strong mandate to counter the threat posed by Trump.
Carney's stark warning—that Trump "wants to break us so America can own us"—highlights how deeply relations have deteriorated between the two long-time allies and trading partners.
Canada has also updated its travel advisory for the U.S. in response to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. The update follows several European nations revising their advisories due to Trump's rollbacks on transgender rights and growing concerns over visa-related detentions of Canadians and other foreign nationals by U.S. immigration authorities.
A new interim rule, set to take effect on April 11, will now require Canadians staying in the U.S. for longer than 30 days to register with the U.S. government—a move that signals tightening immigration policies under the current administration.
