Canada's new Prime Minister Mark Carney was likened to Marie Antoinette after admitting he doesn't do his own grocery shopping. He explained that as PM, someone does it for him, prompting conservative Andrew Scheer to tweet "Move over, Marie Antoinette!" Fellow conservatives quickly piled on, accusing Carney of being out of touch. Some users defended Carney, arguing it's normal for someone in his position not to do their own shopping.
