Mike Myers Sports 'Canada Never 51' Hockey Jersey in
'Elbows Up' Video with Mark Carney Ahead of Federal Election
The Canadian federal election is heating up, and a new viral video featuring comedian Mike Myers and Prime Minister Mark Carney is making waves. Released just days before the election campaign officially kicked off on March 23, 2025, the ad showcases Myers sporting a "Canada Never 51" hockey jersey, a bold statement against U.S. President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state. With the election set for April 28, this patriotic collaboration has sparked both support and skepticism among Canadians, highlighting the tension surrounding Trump’s trade war and annexation threats.
A Playful Yet Pointed Message
In the 60-second video, Myers and Carney, both in Team Canada jerseys, share a rinkside chat filled with Canadian trivia and humor. Carney quizzes Myers on his Canadian credentials, from children’s TV shows to hockey plays, before they unite with the rallying cry “elbows up” a nod to hockey legend Gordie Howe’s defensive move, now a symbol of Canadian resistance. Myers’ jersey, emblazoned with “Never 51,” directly rebukes Trump’s comments, reinforcing the Liberal Party’s stance on sovereignty as they face off against Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
Stirring Patriotism Amid Controversy
The ad, which has garnered millions of views, taps into a surge of Canadian nationalism amid Trump’s tariffs and provocative rhetoric. However, it’s not without criticism some on X have called out Myers and Carney for their time spent abroad, questioning their authenticity as Canadian advocates. Despite the backlash, the video’s message resonates with many, positioning Carney as a defender of Canadian identity in a critical election. As the campaign unfolds, this “elbows up” moment may prove pivotal in rallying voters.
