United States President Donald Trump posted a cartoon image on social media that takes aim at Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, according to CTV News. The post, which features a hockey theme, includes the taunt “Get up, governor” directed at Carney.
CTV News reports that the cartoon was shared on Monday, September 7, 2026. The imagery draws on the sport of hockey, a cultural touchstone in Canada, to deliver the political jab. The specific content of the cartoon beyond the caption was not detailed in the available reporting.
The post represents the latest exchange in an ongoing public feud between Trump and Carney. Relations between the two leaders have been tense, with Trump frequently criticizing Carney’s policies and Carney responding in kind. The use of a hockey cartoon fits a pattern of Trump employing informal and provocative media to mock his political opponents.
Carney, who took office as prime minister earlier this year, has faced repeated personal attacks from Trump. The “governor” label is notable, as it is not Carney’s official title; the correct term for Canada’s head of government is prime minister. Trump has previously used similar informal or incorrect titles for foreign leaders in social media posts.
The timing of the post comes amid ongoing trade negotiations and diplomatic friction between the United States and Canada. No official response from Carney’s office had been reported by CTV News at the time of publication.
Observers will be watching whether Carney responds directly to the cartoon or continues to focus on policy matters in his public statements. The exchange highlights the personal dimension of cross-border political relations.
