00:00A new rallying cry is echoing through Canada. This Torontonian crowd is adamant Canadians
00:10are getting their elbows up.
00:17The phrase has caught the country by storm since Canadian actor Mike Myers brought it
00:22back during Saturday Night Live. It is now seen by many as a battle cry to push back
00:27against Donald Trump's tariffs and threats of annexation.
00:55The elbows up saying originates from ice hockey, associated with the legendary player Geordie
01:01Howe who famously used his elbows to battle for the puck, earning him the nickname Mr.
01:07Elbows in the process.
01:10Canadians are gearing up for a fight both on ice and in the ballot boxes. Canada's new
01:15Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to announce snap elections to be held on the
01:1928th of April.
01:21As
01:34anti-Trump sentiment continues to reign in Canada, recent polls show that Mark Carney's
01:39ruling party is projected to form a majority months after its political wipeout seemed
01:45inevitable.
01:46Carney hopes to skate his way into a stronger mandate as his country fights to keep its
01:51American neighbour in check.
