Canada is getting a new prime minister. Mark Carney has been elected as the head of the country’s ruling Liberal Party. According to the rules, the head of the ruling party is the head of government in Canada. As such, there is no doubt that Mark Carney is replacing outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Mark Carney is an economist and former head of the Central Bank of Canada. He also led the Bank of England. He can be sworn in as prime minister in the next few days.
Carney, an economist and banker by profession, is taking over as head of government at a time when there is increasing concern that Canada will be involved in a trade war with US President Donald Trump. Canada is due to hold a national election soon. Before him, the new head of the ruling party, Carney, has joined national politics at the highest level.
The future prime minister will have to deal with various social and economic problems in the country. He also faces the challenge of overcoming criticism and reversing years of declining support for the Liberal Party. After being elected leader of the party and future prime minister with 85.9 percent of the vote at the party forum, Mark Carney said on Sunday evening, “I will work day and night with one goal in mind, which is to build a stronger Canada for everyone.”
After the election of new leadership in Canada, several questions have emerged. Who is Mark Carney? What kind of policies does he plan to follow for the future of Canada? Can he snatch the Liberals’ fortunes against the relatively strong Conservative Party in the upcoming general election? Oxford graduate, central banker
Mark Carney was born in the northwestern part of Canada. He grew up in the western province of Alberta. He has presented himself in the political arena as an “outsider” who can lead Canada through a time of economic instability and uncertainty.
US President Donald Trump has imposed high tariffs on Canadian goods. It has been in effect since March 4. As a result, Canada is on the brink of disaster. The threat of an economic recession in the coming days has brought to the fore feelings of nationalism and the desire for stable leadership in Ottawa.
