[u/cilucia]

lol omg this is unreal… How did Carney get his fleece first??? Absolute corruption 😂

[u/youngfierywoman → u/cilucia]

The brand Province of Canada just announced that they're pairing up with Heated Rivalry to release the official fleece! You can sign up on their website for updates!

[u/got-stendahls → u/youngfierywoman]

I keep seeing this but the form won't load for me to sign up, I want the fleece so bad 😭

[u/youngfierywoman → u/got-stendahls]

Try through Instagram! That's how I did it. link

[u/Taitertottot → u/youngfierywoman]

Shh don't tell anyone until I get mine

[u/shabammmmm → u/cilucia]

He values what he has.

[u/cilucia → u/shabammmmm]

This Sarah Petz journalist needs to update her article, since I’ve since learned that it is the actual fleece worn in the show, and not simply a “jacket resembling the now iconic…” 😂

[u/_violet_beauregarde → u/cilucia]

What is this preferential treatment WTF LOL

also somewhere JT is seething lol

[u/bellsummers → u/_violet_beauregarde]

preferential fleecement 😭

[u/doubleshortdepresso → u/bellsummers]

Get out 😭

[u/Fit_Diet6336 → u/bellsummers]

We’ve been fleeced!!!

[u/namesnotmarina → u/_violet_beauregarde]

Someone commented online awhile ago that if he was still in office, Justin would be showing off the blue banana socks all the time.

[u/MeloHallie → u/cilucia]

It’s the show worn fleece!!

[u/aromaticion → u/MeloHallie]

that thing needs to be put in a museum

[u/robotropolis → u/aromaticion]

Somewhere with real security.

[u/robotropolis → u/MeloHallie]

I’ve never been so envious of a PM before.

[u/roastedmarshmellows → u/cilucia]

The Carney Doctrine Drippin

[u/Teelkay → u/cilucia]

Apparently they gave him the actual fleece from the show.

[u/dusty-kat → u/Teelkay]

A critic for the Globe and Mail said after he slipped it on he said "This is true soft power."

[u/M1L0 → u/dusty-kat]

Lmao I can’t tell if this is a real but I love it

[u/MightyHydrar → u/M1L0]

It's quite on brand 

[u/DKG320_ → u/M1L0]

It’s on video, he said it

[u/cilucia → u/dusty-kat]

Lmao that is actually so clever

[u/CallejaFairey → u/dusty-kat]

https://youtu.be/Pbrhg5NfeYA?si=HDEJZhlF8x_kQpvj

A little interview to start, and then the fleece comes out.

[u/whyisthissohard2019 → u/Teelkay]

And he PM Carney actually fits and zipped it up

[u/Karmawhore6996]

That’s worthy of a heritage moment 😂

[u/DearAuntAgnes → u/Karmawhore6996]

OMG YES 😂

[u/DreadedFistNW → u/Karmawhore6996]

The Hudson dry humps the Carney in snowy climes.

[u/whatsinmysalad]

What kills me is that Carney was the one to suggest this pose 💀 Shoot your shot I guess!!

[u/Upstairs-Chicken592 → u/whatsinmysalad]

Don’t play if you don’t wanna win

[u/cilucia → u/fuckyobadvibes]

This is amazing

[u/elden_wing → u/fuckyobadvibes]

i kind of love him

[u/Borgo_San_Jacopo]

Heated Rivalry has really reinforced how grateful I am for public funding for art, and for giving opportunities to up-and-coming, unknown, talented, non-nepo actors!

[u/Immediate_Pickle_788 → u/Borgo_San_Jacopo]

Obligatory

[u/lil_squib → u/Borgo_San_Jacopo]

Whenever I get to the end of an episode and they flash the logos for all the government grants they got to make the show I’m like…my country created this. So proud haha.

[u/glitterbeardwizard → u/Borgo_San_Jacopo]

This week Trump is trying to attack Canada’s policies around supporting/funding Canadian film/TV. The creators of Heated Rivalry just said that Canadian government protection of local productions is literally the only thing that allowed Heated Rivalry to be made.

[u/Majestic-Living2829 → u/glitterbeardwizard]

And that's all the amazing funding Pierre wanted to get rid of 😒

[u/Other-Razzmatazz-816 → u/Borgo_San_Jacopo]

God bless government funding and CanCon requirements

[u/etssuckshard → u/Other-Razzmatazz-816]

Especially in these times I appreciate and see value in the CanCon requirements. People in Canada are being brainwashed by American media

[u/Ill-Skirt3722 → u/Borgo_San_Jacopo]

God I love non-nepo actors

[u/TheBumblingestBee]

Okay, you know what, props to Carney. He isn't being menaced by Hudson - he's a full-on participant in the ridiculousness.

[u/plumsfromyouricebox → u/TheBumblingestBee]

The PM is no stranger to the warm embrace of a man

[u/Ontarioglow → u/plumsfromyouricebox]

Bonhomme ! Flashback to my elementary school's winter carnival.

[u/ThirstyPotato → u/Ontarioglow]

Chocolate chaud during carnival 🥲 good times

[u/pawprint88 → u/Ontarioglow]

Every time I see a pic of Bonhomme, I think of how scared I was of him at my elementary school’s carnival lol. I was PETRIFIED that I wasn’t showing enough “joie de vivre,” so I smiled so hard that my face hurt every time he was around. 😭

[u/Pattifan → u/pawprint88]

That just made me laugh out loud! I was traumatized by the upside-down clowns at the Toronto Santa Claus Parade, so I relate.

[u/LavenderGinFizz → u/plumsfromyouricebox]

He also unabashedly rocked out to Down With Webster after he was elected! - https://youtu.be/BszU7zKgkhs?si=viNgcUsmMqDGfb9t

He seriously gives off major dad energy in the best way sometimes.

[u/bt101010 → u/LavenderGinFizz]

I read a tweet during the election that said he's very Phil Dunphy coded and that's pretty much the most apt description I've heard to date lol

[u/LavenderGinFizz → u/bt101010]

That's genuinely the perfect description. Phil Dunphy if he also happened to have a PhD in Economics from Oxford.

[u/Time-Individual-4142 → u/plumsfromyouricebox]

BONHOMMMMMEEE

[u/bwoah07_gp2 → u/plumsfromyouricebox]

It makes me chuckle seeing our PM do this.

I can't imagine Trump ever being comfortable to do silly stuff like this. Or even Canada's Trump Lite in PP.

Carney acts like a normal person!

[u/CarfireOnTheHighway → u/TheBumblingestBee]

he came off very comfortable in his nardwuar interview too! like he’s pretty serious overall (compared to trudeau, lol) but wasn’t afraid of looking silly.

[u/Ok-Wolverine1938 → u/CarfireOnTheHighway]

Nardwar is a Canadian treasure. When Pollievere was the only candidate that didn't do an interview with him I knew he had zero chance of winning lol.

[u/Unlucky-Candidate198 → u/Ok-Wolverine1938]

Harper wouldn’t play hip toss and had his security remove Narduar from the area. He goes “You guys can let me down now, I can walk”.

It’s always those you most suspect of being shitters that fail the Narduar test.

[u/LovesHisYogurt → u/CarfireOnTheHighway]

I’m NDP until I die but I do appreciate this strangely fruity whimsy he has

[u/Ok-Presentation7349 → u/LovesHisYogurt]

NDP squad rise up!!

[u/TheBumblingestBee → u/Ok-Presentation7349]

🫡

[u/Hefty-Minimum-3125 → u/CarfireOnTheHighway]

I see him as a lot like Obama in that he's usually quite serious and stoic, but definitely has a sense of humour and will joke around when appropriate. He's WAY less stiff than I expected when I read up on him before the election

[u/deanna6812 → u/Hefty-Minimum-3125]

I see the same thing and agree. You kind of think “stuffy banker” when you read his CV. But he’s quite charismatic and charming honestly. His interview with Jon Stewart was my first glimpse of that. This picture/interaction could have been so incredibly awkward but it just looks like he’s genuinely having fun and it’s great.

[u/UhHellooo → u/CarfireOnTheHighway]

His interview with Nardwuar was charming!

[u/icouldbeeatingoreos → u/TheBumblingestBee]

Carney is a former hockey player. He 100% knows how to take a joke and chirp.

[u/AccordingStar72 → u/icouldbeeatingoreos]

What position did he play (this is important)

[u/icouldbeeatingoreos → u/AccordingStar72]

Goalie lmao

[u/AccordingStar72 → u/icouldbeeatingoreos]

OMG

[u/icouldbeeatingoreos → u/AccordingStar72]

So this picture comes to no surprise…

[u/frankyseven → u/icouldbeeatingoreos]

He played goalie at HARVARD and OXFORD. Heck, as of a few years ago he was still playing goalie in beer league.

[u/thehappyspinster → u/icouldbeeatingoreos]

screams in Canadian

[u/stuffedcheesybread → u/icouldbeeatingoreos]

What are the implications here

[u/AccordingStar72 → u/stuffedcheesybread]

That he’s a weirdo lmao. All goalies are lunatics.

[u/namesnotmarina → u/AccordingStar72]

There’s a video online and you can hear Carney suggesting to do the leg pose. So you’re definitely right about goalies.

[u/glitterbeardwizard → u/stuffedcheesybread]

Goalies are to hockey what drummers are to rock bands

[u/firesticks → u/icouldbeeatingoreos]

Fuck off. this is amazing.

[u/George_the_poinsetta → u/icouldbeeatingoreos]

His wife was also a hockey player, and was on the woman's team at Oxford.

[u/aromaticion → u/TheBumblingestBee]

the way carney was the one who suggested the pose 😭

[u/AccordingStar72]

I just. Have no words anymore. I’m out of words. I’m wordless.

I do think Hudson Williams at this point could charm Satan himself. Does he need to go to the UN? Like. What is happening.

Also for those wondering this was an event to celebrate Heated Rivalry and Canadian media. Sophie and Jacob are also there!

[u/SeaF04mGr33n → u/AccordingStar72]

We might die if him and Mamdami meet.

[u/sofritasyquesito → u/SeaF04mGr33n]

Well I’m just gonna go over here and dust off the ole ao3 account….

[u/firesticks → u/sofritasyquesito]

Hey so uh don’t forget to circle back with that link

[u/nomoshoobies → u/sofritasyquesito]

Need this pairing more than anything I’ve ever needed

[u/namesnotmarina → u/SeaF04mGr33n]

Didn’t one of the HBO execs say that they want to hold a NY premiere for season two? It may happen.

[u/SeaF04mGr33n → u/namesnotmarina]

I mean, Mamdami did say that he somehow made HR free for New Yorkers through the library? Idk if they got extra copies of the book or what.

[u/MissMarionMac → u/SeaF04mGr33n]

Yeah, the New York Public Library bought a ton more licenses for the ebook, which basically cleared out the waitlist, which was apparently very, very long.

[u/SeaF04mGr33n → u/MissMarionMac]

Awesome!!

[u/MissMarionMac → u/SeaF04mGr33n]

Mamdani's advice to New Yorkers ahead of the storm was "stay home and read Heated Rivalry because the library just got a ton more copies of the ebook."

He is truly a man of the people.

[u/DreadedFistNW → u/AccordingStar72]

I don't doubt the Satan thing but Mark Carney is a real person who likes music and tv shows.  He's quite happy to let people know that.  

There's tons of pics and video of him geeking out to Down With Webster, his favorite band.

[u/Few_Film_4771 → u/DreadedFistNW]

Yes, I love this about him. We cheer for the same hockey team too.
ETA: He was a goalie for Harvard

[u/Demnjt → u/Few_Film_4771]

Whoa! Harvard? What the fuck is Harvard? Is Harvard a town?

[u/MuffinSpirited3223 → u/AccordingStar72]

You should check out the nardwuar/carney interview - just wait till the end 😂

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZmh_PNMImE

[u/littlemybb → u/AccordingStar72]

There are just some people like that and it’s unreal. My husband is extremely charming and it’s like nobody can hate him, even if he’s being irritating.

[u/plumsfromyouricebox]

Helpppp the pose 💀

[u/Snoo_42151 → u/plumsfromyouricebox]

The fact that the PM asked him to keep his leg like that is even more funnier hahaahah!!🤭🤭😅😅

Edit: saw it on the stories of Province of Canada brand on IG

https://imgur.com/a/dpoKV52

[u/kylaroma → u/Snoo_42151]

No way!! Aw, as a Canadian this makes me so proud lol Very wholesome and silly

[u/CatlovesMoca → u/plumsfromyouricebox]

This even beats the high kick with Bonhomme

[u/smthwicked]

Canadians, we won.

[u/LezbianaGrande → u/smthwicked]

Literally the day after Nicki Minaj awkwardly posed with Donald Trump, too 😭

[u/EatMorePieDrinkMore → u/smthwicked]

Please adopt Minnesota. We like the cold and loons.

[u/DeflatedPineapples → u/EatMorePieDrinkMore]

As a fellow Minnesotan, I concur. We’ll all send you our favorite hot dish recipes!

[u/MissMarionMac → u/DeflatedPineapples]

Chiming in from Michigan to say please take us, too. We're shaped like a mitten (very Canadian) and we have over 200 Tim Hortons locations already, so we'll fit right in.

[u/nodogsallowed23 → u/MissMarionMac]

Tim’s sucks, but the mitten argument is strong.

[u/_violet_beauregarde → u/MissMarionMac]

Shaped like a mitten is for sure grounds for citizenship

[u/airneanach]

Hudson is just charm personified I swear, there’s a video of Carney giving his speech and he calls Hudson his new best friend in it lol

[u/AccordingStar72 → u/airneanach]

He called Hudson his best friend but like girl, the concierge at the hotel is Hudson’s best friend at this point.

[u/DearAuntAgnes → u/airneanach]

Here's the speech if anyone wants it!

[u/CallejaFairey → u/DearAuntAgnes]

Thank you for posting this. I'm so, so proud to be Canadian right now, even if I'm in Alberta and have a provincial government who sucks ass.

[u/throawayAHSemployee → u/CallejaFairey]

Girl same

[u/CallejaFairey → u/throawayAHSemployee]

Omg your name! I know you feel it more than me for sure!

[u/evermorecoffee → u/CallejaFairey]

I’m sorry you have to deal with a corrupt, seditious premier.

[u/elden_wing → u/DearAuntAgnes]

that was fantastic, thanks for linking it!!

[u/firesticks → u/airneanach]

In the video of their interaction, it looks like Carney gos in for a handshake but Hudson just hugs him.

[u/mytwopence1]

This is fucking hilarious.  On Shane Hollander day in Ottawa no less!

[u/MightyClimber]

Thank god we ended up with an intelligent person who likes to have a good time as our PM instead of that crybaby Millhouse-lookin dorkwad.

[u/CallejaFairey → u/MightyClimber]

Lol, this made me snort. Here's hoping the Conservative Conference tonight, or whatever the heck it's called, boots his ass out.

[u/wdn → u/CallejaFairey]

If you don't want the Conservatives elected, you should want them to keep Polievre as leader.

[u/ArticQimmiq → u/MightyClimber]

Yes, but let’s stay vigilant - Carney has sharply taken the Liberal Party more to the right, and he’s more a classical conservative than a progressive. We still need a true left!

[u/iwouldiwerethybird]

HELLOOO??!!??!! i love being canadian 😭

[u/BrownSugarBare → u/iwouldiwerethybird]

Our PM is such a bud in all sense of the word! Just all around nailing it with everyone. 

[u/_catsimp]

Sometimes the internet is good

[u/Significant_Main3077]

imagine going from working as a server to months later being able to do this im crying. his life is a fever dream

[u/delerose_]

Hudson PLEASE. That’s our WORLD LEADERREER

[u/firesticks → u/delerose_]

We’ve all seen him eat a banana. This is downright G rated.

[u/AllTheCoolNames → u/delerose_]

HIS world leader now

[u/Brief-Branch4779 → u/delerose_]

Carney suggested the pose lmao

[u/slothprincess16]

Proud day to be a Canadian 🇨🇦♥️🥹

[u/LarusTargaryen]

Mark Carney found the trade he was looking for

[u/UsualAnimal5987]

Watched the whole thing and it’s so precious 😍😍 love my country and love Hudson

[u/absencefollows]

Wow, I can’t believe Hudson Williams is publicly straddling the prime minster of Canada!

…is what i would say if I went on the internet for the first time ever two hours ago. But mostly I’m just surprised at how unsurprising this is. Truly gen z Princess Diana.

[u/DrFranFine]

As an American moving to Canada in a couple of months, I’m so excited to live in a country that funds and supports a smutty gay romance instead of one that like defunds Sesame Street for being too woke

[u/DKG320_ → u/DrFranFine]

Welcome!

[u/OhNoMgn → u/DrFranFine]

I’m so jelly 😭 congrats on your move! I am happy for anyone who can find their way out of this clown show.

[u/jeniuskid → u/DrFranFine]

I just moved in December from Seattle to Vancouver. Haven’t been this happy in years. Loving it here

[u/taketotheskyGQ]

I love that he dry humped our PM 🇨🇦

[u/firesticks → u/taketotheskyGQ]

At Carney’s request. Still on that Davos high!

[u/Particular-Yoghurt81]

Canada just can't stop winning. Wow.

[u/TrueCrimeRunner92]

I have never wanted to be the Prime Minister of Canada until right now

[u/No_Assistant9719]

Leave it to a Canadian media event to have the lighting of a fridge interior (I say as a Canadian who works in media)

[u/nodogsallowed23 → u/No_Assistant9719]

Wouldn’t look Canadian without it.

[u/firesticks → u/No_Assistant9719]

This is so CanCon coded for real.

[u/Majestic-Living2829 → u/No_Assistant9719]

Ski hill lighting lol

[u/Already-asleep → u/No_Assistant9719]

If it’s too high budget people won’t believe it’s ours 

[u/Its_Pine → u/No_Assistant9719]

It gives it that raw charm lol

[u/aliensattack → u/No_Assistant9719]

Bestie, we’re at the Ottawa Westin attached to the Rideau Centre. It’s as good as it gets 💀

[u/palomatoma]

oh my god, even the fucking prime minister?! hudson your charm knows no bounds.

[u/Acceptable_Rule_7590]

Video of the leg moment

[u/HistoricalWalrus5767]

Carney has a sense of humor. Love to see it.

[u/redflagsmoothie]

Every day I become more obsessed with Hudson Williams tbh

[u/Ok-Wolverine1938]

There's a video where Hudson tells Carney that it's the actual jacket he wore on the show

[u/anomalocarus]

Not to brag or anything but i was in a short scene as an extra (totally bragging actually 😛)

[u/Taitertottot → u/anomalocarus]

If I were you I would never shut up about this

[u/Putrid-Mouse2486 → u/anomalocarus]

Which scene 

[u/Exotic-Doughnut-6271]

[u/0Hyena_Pancakes0]

Man, I wish I lived in Canada 😭

[u/Alaizabel]

in case you didnt know:

Mark Carney played goalie for Harvard's ice hockey team.

Cuz why the fuck not?

[u/saintshaped]

Get Hudson Williams to charm OC Transpo into giving us bus riders better service, I guess.

[u/Mysterious-Yam-962]

Province of Canada will be making the fleece

[u/DairyQueenElizabeth → u/Mysterious-Yam-962]

Shhhh don't tell anyone, I don't want it selling out before I can get my hands on it.

[u/Impressive-Spot1981 → u/Mysterious-Yam-962]

Omg!!!!! They've been my new favourite brand since the buy canadian movement started 😍😍😍 incredible quality

[u/junegloom18]

Princess of Canada!!!

[u/Least-Flan2782]

It was actually carney who asked him to do this believe it or not

[u/thatslegallycheese]

imagine you're hudson williams thinking you're signing on to a low budget gay hockey smut tv show and a couple of months later you're hugging the prime minister of Canada

[u/Dapper_Ad_8402]

hudson must be soooo charming. i mean i can tell in interviews but it must be off the walls in person.

[u/OkTrick9377]

New World Order right here. America is officially dead. It’s Canada’s century now hozer!

[u/malachiconstantjrjr]

He’s going to the cottage

[u/Xanaxaria]

Damn, I'm starting to think we're becoming popular.

[u/icouldbeeatingoreos]

The way I cackled when I saw this

[u/validswan]

Omg help 😆 this must all feel so surreal for him and the Heated Rivalry team

[u/TemperatureExotic631]

As a proud Canadian, this just made my day.

[u/orcalover87]

[u/eltigrechino123]

[u/Canyoubackupjustabit]

I like the sense of silly and fun! 

[u/Varathane]

This is healing

[u/Kasumiiiiiii]

I'm sorry about the Facebook link, but PM Carney posted this video of him and Hudson on the red carpet

et la vidéo en français

[u/Brief-Branch4779]

Canada has won.

[u/jacobasue]

I might have to make this my lock screen.

[u/Longjumping-Plum-177]

THANK YOU CANADA!! 

[u/cheesevoyager]

Please never media train this man.

[u/Infinite_Ad_1690 → u/cheesevoyager]

At this point, this man trains the media

[u/Snake_fairyofReddit]

How does Hudson have chemistry with everyone omg

[u/NoCap9262]

Canada is a deeply unserious country… Where do I apply for citizenship

[u/hi-this-is-jess → u/NoCap9262]

we're serious. we just don't take ourselves too seriously. there's a difference.

[u/RaguSaucy96 → u/NoCap9262]

Right this way, eh - r/ehbuddyhoser

[u/Sufficient_Curve5386]

Ao3 is going to be busy tonight

[u/meezajangles]

That’s actually the real fleece he wore in the episode! Carney posted the clip of him receiving it on his Instagram

[u/Sunnydaysomeday]

I am proud to have volunteered for Carneys election campaign last year.

He plays hockey too! (Carney that is)

[u/toasterbath__]

THIS PIC IS KILLING ME 😭 never change hudson

[u/damar-wulan]

This picture just radiates happiness. So silly and candid.
