Canadians are reacting online after comedian and icon Mike Myers dressed in his home-country’s military uniform on Saturday Night Live.
The SNL alum, who was a cast member from 1989 to 1995, returned to the show to play SpaceX CEO and billionaire Elon Musk.
At the end of the episode, Myers could be seen front and centre, standing next to first-time host and Oscar-winning actress Teyana Taylor.

In March 2025, Myers wore a T-shirt displaying a Canada flag and the words “Canada is not for sale,” in response to United States President Donald Trump comments on making the country a part of the U.S. as the 51st state.
Before that, Myers also wore a Canadian Tire shirt at the end of the show.
He’s also worn his Order of Canada medal while introducing Bohemian Rhapsody at the 76th Golden Globes and recently starred in an “Elbows Up” announcement alongside Prime Minister Mark Carney.
