Mark Carney has won Canada’s Liberal Party leadership race, securing 86% of votes against Chrystia Freeland. The former central bank governor will replace Justin Trudeau, who resigned after nine years in office due to low approval ratings. Carney, 59, has never held elected office but promises to revive the party and counter US tariffs under Donald Trump. His victory marks a historic moment as the first Canadian PM without prior legislative or cabinet experience. “Democracy is not a given,” Trudeau said in his farewell speech. Carney pledges economic reforms and retaliatory tariffs to protect Canada’s economy.
