Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney addresses a teleprompter malfunction during a Wednesday news conference focused on housing policy. Multiple outlets report that the teleprompter stops working mid-speech, prompting Carney to pause, smile, and acknowledge the technical issue publicly. He then makes a remark comparing the incident to actions by U.S. President Donald Trump, who previously alleged there was a conspiracy involving a teleprompter malfunction tied to an appearance connected to the United Nations.

As described across the reports, Carney’s comment includes the line that he does not see the situation as a conspiracy, presenting it as a straightforward technical failure rather than something orchestrated. The accounts portray Carney’s response as light and humorous, with attendees watching him chuckle while he continued to deliver his remarks. The overall reporting centers on the teleprompter issue and Carney’s brief, pointed comparison to Trump’s earlier response.
