Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney couldn't resist poking fun at the Toronto Maple Leafs' agonizing Stanley Cup drought, a topic that has become a running joke across the country.

Carney's lighthearted jab highlights how the franchise's extended championship silence has transcended sports and become a shared cultural reference point, even for the head of government.
