Mark Carney, 59, replaces Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister of Canada. He won 85.9% of the vote among Liberal Party nominees. Carney is a former Governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England. He faces a new challenge of protecting Canada’s economy from US trade policies under Donald Trump. Carney promised to scrap the consumer carbon tax and halt a planned capital gains tax increase. He also pledged to strengthen Canada’s economy through new global partnerships. He said, “I care about the economy, but not because I’m an economist. It’s because I care about people. That’s why I’m a Liberal,” he told supporters in his first speech on Sunday. The new PM takes charge amid rising tensions with the United States, as Donald Trump prepares to impose tariffs on Canadian goods. He accused the US of unfairly targeting Canada, saying, ‘The Americans want our resources, our water, our land, our country.’ He also outlined his domestic policies, promising to replace the divisive carbon tax with a system that rewards eco-friendly choices.
