Mark Carney, former central bank governor, was elected as the leader of Canada's Liberal Party with an impressive majority of 85.9%. He succeeds Justin Trudeau, who resigned after nearly a decade in office. In his acceptance speech, Carney emphasized the need for unity in facing challenges, particularly tariff threats from the US. He vowed to maintain tariffs until the US respects Canada and stressed the importance of distinguishing Canada’s identity and values, particularly regarding healthcare and resource management, in the backdrop of US interests.
Carney emphasized the importance of unity in the face of external threats, stating, "To foster unity and a sense of the common good... is a bigger challenge than tariffs."
In his acceptance speech, Carney declared, "America is not Canada and Canada never ever will be part of America in any way, shape, or form."
Addressing the ideological differences, Carney said, "In the US, healthcare is a business, but in Canada, it is a right. We did not ask for this fight, but we are ready for it."
