Heated Rivalry took over Ottawa on the Prime Time 2026 red carpet on January 29, where Canadian PM Mark Carney met actor Hudson Williams.
Carney grinned as he pulled on a jacket inspired by the now-iconic Team Canada fleece from the series and joked with Williams, who plays one of the show’s closeted pro hockey players, asking him to “do the leg thing” for photos.
Inside the gala, the PM praised the show’s creator Jacob Tierney for keeping the production in Canada and refusing U.S. studio pressure to “tone it down”.
Speaking about the series, Carney said: “That could only be made in Canada, [celebrating] who we are, loving who we want to love.”
