New Prime Minister Mark Carney says he is ready for the battle as Canada finds out who will lead the nation through this difficult time as President Donald Trump continues to stir up controversy.
The 60-year-old learned early this morning (April 29) that he will remain in office.
This is a historic win for the Liberal Party, as Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party had what was thought to be an overwhelming lead in the polls before to election day.
Last month, Carney took over from former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who declared his intention to leave office after ten years in office.
With a resume that highlighted his seven years as governor of the Bank of Canada, which helped steer the country through the 2008 financial crisis.
Carney’s campaign was built on the idea that he was the best candidate to challenge President Trump.
Canada and the United States appear to be poised for a titanic battle with their two new North American leaders.
What remarks has Trump made toward Canada?
All of this is part of the Trump administration’s ostensibly expansionist goal, which is based on the US’s desire to annex Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal in addition to occupying the Gaza Strip.
For months, the president has advocated for Canada to become the “51st State” in the union. Yesterday, he took to Truth Social to try to sway Canadian voters as they cast their ballots.
