Canada's government plans to phase out the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035, but a video supposedly showing Prime Minister Mark Carney announcing an imminent prohibition of older cars along with a slew of other transportation rules is not authentic. Watermarks on the clip indicate the audio was created using artificial intelligence and added to footage of a press conference where the Canadian leader did not propose any vehicle laws.
