Ex-Central Banker To Replace Trudeau As Canada's Prime Minister After Winning Liberal Party Vote

6 weeks ago Former central banker Mark Carney will become Canada’s next prime minister after the governing Liberal Party elected him its leader as the country deals with Justin Trudeau’s economic policy failures, poor foreign policy decisions and the fallout from his focus on climate change. All this while a federal election looms. 59-year-old Carney, replaces Trudeau, who announced his resignation in January but remains prime minister until his successor is sworn in. Carney navigated crises when he was the head of the Bank of Canada and when in 2013 he became the first noncitizen to run the Bank of England since it was founded in 1694. Trudeau's popularity had declined as food and housing prices skyrocketed as immigration surged.
