Mark Carney elected as Canada’s new Prime Minister

Mark Carney, a former central banker with no prior political office experience, has been elected as Canada's prime minister, marking a significant shift in the country's political landscape. Carney's leadership comes amid heightened tensions with the United States under President Donald Trump, particularly over trade policies and tariffs. His campaign successfully leveraged opposition to Trump's aggressive trade measures, positioning Carney as a defender of Canadian sovereignty and interests. The Liberals, under Carney, secured a minority government, continuing their unprecedented fourth consecutive term and signaling voter rejection of Trump-style populism. Carney's background in crisis management, including leadership roles at the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, is seen as central to his strategy for economic growth and stability. His administration plans to use tariff revenues to support Canadians affected by U.S. trade disputes and seeks to rebuild international relationships strained in recent years.
