Mark Carney, former governor of the Canadian central bank and Bank of England, won the race to become Canada’s new Prime Minister.
He will succeed Justin Trudeau at a time when the country is at a trade war with their long-time alley, the USA.
The trade war started following Trump’s decision to impose 25 percent import tariffs on Canada and Mexico as part of his agenda of making America great again.
Also, he brought 10 percent on goods from China and energy imported from Canada.
Many dub this decision hostile towards the neighboring countries.
At the same time, it would affect the US citizens in terms of experiencing increased cost of groceries and gas.
In his speech, he said, “America is not Canada. And Canada never, ever, will be part of America in any way, shape or form.
“We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves. The Americans want our resources, our water, our land, our country.
“Think about it. If they succeed, they will destroy our way of life.”
Mark Carney added: “I know these are dark days. Dark days brought on by a country we can no longer trust.”
“We’re getting over the shock, but let us never forget the lessons: we have to look after ourselves and we have to look out for each other. We need to pull together in the tough days ahead.”
Carney won on the first ballot on Sunday evening, taking 85.9% of the vote within the Liberal Party to beat his nearest rival, former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.
