Mike Myers Opens Up About His ‘SNL’ Protest In Support Of Canada: “Came From My Heart, And It Was Not About Me”

Mike Myers, the iconic comic actor behind Austin Powers, sparked a national debate after mimeing "elbows up" during an SNL sketch in response to Elon Musk's controversial remarks about Canada and President Trump. The act, inspired by his frustration with Musk's comments, became a public declaration of solidarity with his country, using a slogan referencing Trump's false claim that Canada is the 51st state. Since then, Myers has used his role to satirize Musk's anti-Canadian views, highlighting his critical stance on divisive policies as a threat to Canada's values.
