Trump calls 'PM Carney' future 'Governor of Canada' in social media post

Mar 10th 2026

Donald Trump posted on social media calling "PM Carney" the future "Governor of Canada," a phrasing that appears to reference former central banker Mark Carney and uses a title that does not exist in Canada.

  • Donald Trump posted on social media referring to "PM Carney" as the future "Governor of Canada".
  • The name appears to reference Mark Carney, who previously served as Governor of the Bank of Canada and Governor of the Bank of England.
  • Canada does not have an official position called "Governor of Canada"; the federal Crown representative is the Governor General and the head of government is the Prime Minister.
  • The post has drawn attention for misnaming and conflating titles, and no verified indication has emerged that a person called "PM Carney" holds or seeks a Canadian prime ministership.
