On April 28, Canadians were called to the polls to decide between two visions: Mark Carney, Liberal Party figurehead, or Pierre Poilievre, Conservative leader. In the end, it was the Liberal red that triumphed: the country chose to entrust the reins of power to Mark Carney and his team.
Since then, a video of our new Prime Minister has been causing a stir on social networks: it shows Mark Carney celebrating his victory… by dancing to the tunes of Canadian band Down with Webster.
We see him at the heart of a jubilant crowd, smiling heartily and raising his arms to the rhythm of the music… which he seems to know absolutely all the words to!
@straightouttathe6ixtv Mark Carney Celebrates His Election Win, Dancing To ‘Down With Webster.’ 🕺🎶🇨🇦
In comments on the videos circulating, many have made a similar observation, and are having fun comparing the new Prime Minister to Phil Dunphy, the endearing character from the series Modern Family played by Ty Burrell.
Another moment from the party was filmed and shared on social networks. It shows Mark Carney and his wife making the « elbows up » gesture, in a nod to the expression « elbows up », used during his election campaign to evoke Canadian unity in the face of threats of annexation and the tariff war launched by Donald Trump.
@offor_canada Rate @markjcarney’s moves 1/10
Despite the more serious atmosphere, these shots bring a touch of lightness and warmth to many hearts..
Now it remains to be seen whether Mark will be as adept at leading a country as he is on the dance floor!

Jeff Bezos takes on Elon Musk
Billionaire and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has reached a historic milestone with the launch of his first 27 satellites in Amazon’s Project Kuiper, marking the start of a direct offensive against Elon Musk’s giant Starlink.
A batch of Amazon satellites is hitching a ride to low-Earth orbit, marking the biggest stride yet in the tech giant’s efforts to join a race to blanket the planet in connectivity beamed from space.
This colossal project aims to establish a collection of over 3,200 satellites in low-Earth orbit, with the ambition of competing in the strategic sector of global Internet via satellite.
The founder of Amazon wants to make his mark in a market hitherto largely dominated by Musk and his Starlink network, which boasts several million subscribers across the globe.
Although SpaceX has opened up a considerable gap, Amazon intends to prove that there is still time to reshuffle the cards in an exploding market.
Valued at over $10 billion, the Kuiper project is a veritable declaration of economic and strategic war on Elon Musk.
By positioning its satellites slightly lower than those of Starlink, Jeff Bezos aims to offer increased connection speeds and reduced latency, two major assets in winning over new customers.
To meet this challenge, Amazon has secured 83 rocket launches from several partners, including United Launch Alliance, Arianespace and Blue Origin, Bezos’ own space company.
Amazon faces a major challenge: Elon Musk and SpaceX have a head start of several years in deployment, operational experience and profitability.
In an attempt to destabilize the empire that Musk has consolidated with thousands of satellites, Bezos will have to rely on innovation, flawless execution and an offensive pricing policy.
The confrontation between Bezos and Musk for domination of the space Internet has only just begun, but so has the balance of power between two of the most powerful billionaires of our time.

Jeff Bezos s’attaque à Elon Musk
Le milliardaire et CEO d’Amazon, Jeff Bezos, vient de franchir une étape historique avec le lancement de ses 27 premiers satellites du projet Kuiper, d’Amazon, marquant le début d’une offensive directe contre le géant Starlink d’Elon Musk.
Ce projet colossal vise à établir une collection de plus de 3 200 satellites en orbite terrestre basse, avec pour ambition de rivaliser dans le secteur stratégique de l’Internet mondial par satellite.
Le fondateur d’Amazon souhaite s’imposer sur un marché jusqu’ici largement dominé par Musk et son réseau Starlink, fort de plusieurs millions d’abonnés à travers le globe.
Bien que SpaceX ait creusé un écart considérable, Amazon entend prouver qu’il est encore temps de redistribuer les cartes d’un marché en pleine explosion.
Évalué à plus de 10 milliards de dollars, le projet Kuiper s’affirme comme une véritable déclaration de guerre économique et stratégique à l’encontre d’Elon Musk.
En positionnant ses satellites légèrement plus bas que ceux de Starlink, Jeff Bezos ambitionne d’offrir des vitesses de connexion accrues et une latence réduite, deux atouts majeurs pour conquérir de nouveaux clients.
Pour mener à bien ce pari, Amazon a sécurisé 83 lancements de fusées auprès de plusieurs partenaires, dont United Launch Alliance, Arianespace et Blue Origin, la propre société spatiale de Bezos.
Amazon fait face à un défi de grande envergure: Elon Musk et SpaceX bénéficient d’une avance de plusieurs années en déploiement, en expérience opérationnelle et en rentabilité.
Pour tenter de déstabiliser l’empire que Musk a consolidé avec des milliers de satellites, Bezos devra miser sur l’innovation, une exécution sans faille et une politique tarifaire offensive.
La confrontation entre Bezos et Musk pour la domination de l’Internet spatial ne fait que commencer, mais aussi les équilibres de pouvoir entre deux des milliardaires les plus puissant de notre époque.
