In a decisive vote on Sunday, Mark Carney, an investment banker, was selected to lead Canada when Prime Minister Trudeau steps down this month.
Carney will lead Canada during a crucial time, in the battle against Trump’s tariffs.
Carney served for 13 years at Goldman Sachs before being appointed as deputy governor of the Bank of Canada. He will be the first person to become Canada’s Prime Minister without holding any prior cabinet experience.
Carney has been vocal against tariffs during the past month, stating, “President Trump probably thinks Canada will cave in. But we are going to stand up to a bully, we’re not going to back down. We’re united and we will retaliate.”
Following his victory, the soon-to-be leader stated, “Donald Trump, as we know, has put unjustified tariffs on what we build, on what we sell and how we make a living. He’s attacking Canadian families, workers and businesses and we cannot let him succeed and we won’t.”
“We didn’t ask for this fight. But Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves. The Americans, they should make no mistake, in trade, as in hockey, Canada will win,” he concluded.
