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!

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!
