OTTAWA, Ontario – Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney will become Canada’s next prime minister after winning the Liberal leadership race on Sunday night. Carney told cheering supporters that “Canada never ever will be part of America in any way, shape or form.”
The prime minister-designate said Canada’s tariffs against the United States will remain until the Americans “show us respect” and added that Canadians “are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.”
Carney said that while “Donald Trump thinks he can weaken us with his plan to divide and conquer,” Conservative Official Opposition Leader “Pierre Poilievre’s plan will leave us divided and ready to be conquered.”
Carney received 86% of the vote, or 131,764 votes of the 151,899 ones cast from the nearly 400,000 party members who registered to participate in the leadership election.
