The US Embassy in Ottawa has accused Canadian officials of election meddling ahead of the November midterms.
The embassy said Canadian leaders have brushed off concerns over "potential interference", and that ministers and premiers "openly describe plans to influence American politics in official documents and public appearances".
"We've responded to those to protect Canadian jobs, to protect Canadian companies and develop our economy," Carney said.
