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.
