Mark Carney Named Leader of Canada’s Liberal Party, Poised to Succeed Trudeau as Prime Minister

The former central banker pledges economic reform, climate investment, and a firm stance against U.S. trade policies under Trump.

Mark Carney, a 59-year-old former central banker, was elected leader of Canada’s Liberal Party with over 85% support and is set to become the next Prime Minister.
Carney succeeds Justin Trudeau, who resigned following declining popularity tied to inflation, a housing crisis, and dissatisfaction with his leadership style.
Carney's platform emphasizes economic reform, including separating operational and investment budgets, reducing public spending, and leveraging AI to boost productivity.
He plans to abolish the controversial carbon tax on consumers while maintaining emission pricing for major polluters, focusing instead on green technology investments.
Carney has taken a strong stance against U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade policies, vowing to protect Canada’s sovereignty and economic interests.
