Prime Minister Mark Carney has once again been caught on a live microphone, this time appearing to tell the Croatian prime minister that his MPs are just “useful for votes.”
The comments were overheard by a media camera pool in Ottawa on Monday when Carney welcomed Croatian leader Andrej Plenković during his first-ever visit to Canada.
Before the two leaders announced a new commercial deal between Canada’s Remote Robotic and Croatia’s Orqa to expand drone manufacturing in Canada, they could be seen making small talk about the differences between their respective political systems.
“You just have MPs, and they’re not ... they’re useful for votes,” Carney said, before laughing.
“No, but your model is the British system. If you’re not elected, you couldn’t be the PM,” Plenković responded.
“Yep, yep, yep,” Carney replied, appearing to backtrack.
“Same with all the cabinet members, exactly.”
The exchange quickly circulated online, with critics arguing it reflected a dismissive view of elected MPs.
Remember – he was supposed to be smarter than Justin.
