Carney, renowned for his management of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, received an overwhelming 85.9 percent of the vote from over 150,000 party members. Despite lacking parliamentary experience, he is expected to call federal elections soon due to not holding a seat. His explicit remarks about addressing America's political landscape highlight the challenges he faces, particularly in navigating U.S.-Canada relations amid tensions sparked by President Trump.
