Mark Carney Apologizes for Liberal Staffers Planting Trump-Inspired Buttons at Conservative Event

Two staffers from the Liberal Party attended the Canada Strong and Free Networking Conference and planted controversial buttons, as reported by multiple sources.
Liberal Leader Mark Carney called this behavior 'totally unacceptable' and stated that the staffers have been reassigned within the campaign.
A Conservative spokesperson criticized the incident, claiming it shows the Liberals importing 'American-style politics to Canada.'
The buttons included phrases like 'stop the steal' and appeared to mock Conservative infighting.
