Mark Carney Elected Canada’s Prime Minister, Vows to Win Trade War with US

Mark Carney, a former Bank of Canada governor, has been elected as the new leader of Canada's Liberal Party and is set to succeed Justin Trudeau amid escalating tensions with the U.S. over tariffs. Carney, who won 86% of the party vote, has vowed to implement retaliatory tariffs against the Trump administration's threats, declaring that Canada will 'win the trade war' just as it does in hockey. He emphasized that Canadians did not seek this confrontation and firmly stated that Canada will never be part of the U.S. 'in any way, shape, or form.' As the new prime minister prepares for likely elections, the sentiment among Canadians towards Trump's remarks about annexation and tariffs has become increasingly negative. Carney's leadership marks a significant shift in Canada's approach to U.S. trade relations, positioning him as a tough adversary against perceived American aggression. His leadership comes at a critical time as both nations face economic uncertainties fueled by the ongoing tariff disputes.
