OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney is back in London this week — his 13th foreign trip since taking office in March — and his globe-trotting schedule is drawing both criticism and praise.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has taken to social media to needle Carney over his travel habits. In a recent post, Poilievre said Carney was “back on his taxpayer funded jet” to attend a meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

In response to an opinion article on Carney’s first six months in office, Poilievre posted this week that “after six months, everything is worse. Crime, tariffs, inflation, deficits, immigration, housing — all spiralling out of control.”

“Mark Carney prances around abroad while Canadians pay the price at home,” he added.
