Prime Minister Mark Carney faced a hostile crowd at the CFL Grey Cup in Manitoba, drawing loud boos every time he appeared on screen.<\/p>\n

The raucous crowd made its feelings heard both during the national anthem and when Prime Minister Mark Carney entered the field to do the game\u2019s coin toss at the 112th Grey Cup.<\/p>\n

The championship game, held Sunday night at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg, featured the Montreal Alouettes and the Saskatchewan Roughriders.<\/p>\n

Fans interrupted the national anthem with boos when the prime minister was shown on the big screen.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoining the team captains is the prime minister of Canada, le premier ministre du Canada, Mark Carney, and the CEO of Coinbase Canada, Lucas Matheson,\u201d the announcer said, which was met with a \u201cwidely negative response from the crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n

Loud booing could also be heard in the lead-up to the coin toss, which increased in volume as Carney tossed the coin into the air.<\/p>\n

When asked about the incident, Carney told reporters in Ottawa that he was \u201ccheered as well\u201d and that his government represents the \u201centire country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carney later posted an edited video of his entrance at the Grey Cup, replacing the original audio with the song \u201cCan\u2019t Hold Us\u201d by hip hop duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.<\/p>\n

It included the caption: \u201cThanks to the people of Winnipeg for welcoming me and congratulations to the@sskroughriders<\/a> for this great victory.\u201d<\/p>\n
