Theo Fleury's blunt take on PM Carney fuels national debate (Image via: Getty Images)
Canadian hockey great
Theo Fleury
isn't mincing words when it comes to the country's new leadership. The Stanley Cup champion and longtime Calgary Flames winger stirred up a political firestorm this week after taking a sharp jab at newly appointed Prime Minister
Mark Carney
. His message was brief, bold, and impossible to ignore: 'Not my PM.'
The comment, posted to X (formerly Twitter), came just hours after Carney delivered his inaugural address promising to represent all Canadians and bridge political divides.
Theo Fleury's post puts PM Carney's unity message to the test
Mark Carney, Canada's 25th Prime Minister, officially stepped into office in March and recently introduced his first cabinet—a 24-member team that includes 15 full ministers and 9 secretaries of state. The new government has emphasized inclusion and national healing, but Fleury's reaction paints a starkly different picture of how some Canadians feel.
While Carney called for unity,
Fleury
tapped into a wave of discontent that has been simmering across the nation. With his concise yet pointed post, the former NHL star made it clear that not everyone is on board with the country's current direction.
Once known for his relentless hustle on the ice, Fleury has reinvented himself as a fierce and often polarizing voice in Canadian political circles. Over the past few years, he's been outspoken on issues ranging from government overreach to freedom of speech, and this latest post is just another example of his no-holds-barred commentary.

Supporters say Fleury is expressing frustrations many Canadians are afraid to voice, applauding him for standing his ground. Critics, however, argue that his high-profile platform adds fuel to an already divided landscape, questioning whether athletes-turned-activists help or harm public discourse.
Regardless of which side you're on, Fleury's post has once again proven one thing, when he speaks, people pay attention. His legacy on the ice may be etched in history, but his impact off it, especially in the political arena is only growing louder.

As Mark Carney begins his journey as Prime Minister, he faces not only economic and social challenges, but also the growing distrust of prominent Canadians like Fleury. The question now is: can he win over the skeptics, or is this just the start of a deeper national divide?

Concerns arise about Musk's government involvement and data access. The EV industry faces chip supply risks, particularly China's dominance in strategic resources globally. Due to volatility and news dependence, Tesla is considered a high-risk stock and is not held in global funds.I just posted on that and yes, this was a plot twist that was very predictable. So, any couple's counsellor would have told them that this was not going to last. Even if in today's America they have gone to their church pastor also, they would have been told that.

There are many things that could happen. Let us see how it pans out. But I do not think this is bad news as such for markets because I do not think whatever Musk was doing within the government was something which was very desirable. It was just getting access to a lot of government data and also slashing a lot of things without understanding what they were really doing.

It is a risk area for the EV industry. Tesla as such, we have not held in our global funds for a while now because it is too volatile and too unpredictable a stock, and too dependent on news. We have steered clear off it as it is a high-risk stock in our category.

Devina Mehra on Trump-Musk spat, China's chip market manipulation
Devina Mehra , Founder & CMD, First Global , says Elon Musk 's recent call for Trump's impeachment, despite past support, signals escalating tensions. Concerns arise about Musk's government involvement and data access. The EV industry faces chip supply risks, particularly China's dominance in strategic resources globally. Due to volatility and news dependence, Tesla is considered a high-risk stock and is not held in global funds. I guess the big headline has been the spat or breakup between Elon Musk and Donald Trump and what a costly one it turned out to be. Having said that, what do you suspect could be the ramifications because Musk has even called for Trump's impeachment? Devina Mehra: I just posted on that and yes, this was a plot twist that was very predictable. So, any couple's counsellor would have told them that this was not going to last. Even if in today's America they have gone to their church pastor also, they would have been told that. So what has happened is very predictable. Two people like them were not going to make it.

So, I do not think that him leaving the government is a negative thing for the US. But like you have said, this is meant to become more sour in the days to come. What impact could this have on some sectors that are heavily reliant because we have also seen a 14% crash coming in on Tesla's stock and with everything that is going on around, and the rare earth deal with China. Trump has very clearly said he is not going to entertain questions on that. Now, he is someone who is not going to turn down talking about a topic unless it is sorted in his head. So, where do you believe this narrative is headed and how could this shape the global EV space ? Devina Mehra: Let us see how it goes.
