Mark Carney has won the race to become Canada’s next prime minister, putting the former central banker in charge of the country just as US President Donald Trump’s administration threatens its economic future. “America is not Canada. And Canada never, ever, will be part of America in any way, shape or form,” Carney said in his victory speech on Sunday.
“We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves. So Americans should make no mistake: in trade, as in hockey, Canada will win.”
Carney pledged to keep the government’s retaliatory tariffs on US goods until “the Americans show us respect — and make credible, reliable commitments to free and fair trade.” All proceeds from the levies will be used to protect workers, he said.
