Liberal Party members have chosen former central banker Mark Carney to be their new leader and the next prime minister of Canada.
Carney secured enough votes in the first round of voting to win the job, party president Sachit Mehra announced.

I really don’t think that had much to do with it.
It should be no surprise that during an economic crisis, the candidate that successfully lead two central banks was selected.
Carney had nothing to do with Canada’s economy, it was Jim Flaherty. Carney did major economic damage to England and England was worse off when Carney left. He plans to bring in more taxes if he can’t increase current sales taxes plus increase income taxes.
Doing the same job here he had no influence and doing the same job there he ruined everything?
Maybe the UK is worse off because of Brexit, an event which had really only one outcome: worse trade policies, and using less efficient industries to compete against more efficient competitors.
Carney was against Brexit because it was bad economic policy for the UK to follow. They voted for it anyway twice and Carney helped them through it despite him not agreeing with it. The UK is still suffering now and is even talking about re-joining the EU.
Yeah that’s not really his fault at all, in his position I think it’s expected that regardless of the political situation you see it through.
Pfft. I was around back then and Flaherty was just Harper’s mouthpiece.
And for your information …
So glad you said this.
Thank you. :)
OMG a Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Bank of Canada had entirely different jobs to do, and different roles. They worked together but had different responsibilities.
He’s going to tax polluting industries. Instead of individuals. If the country elects the Liberals under Carney it’s a mandate to try new things. Those new things will be decided by a guy who has a PhD in economics and experience as a policy maker as the Governor of two major Banks.
Under Carney, everything you buy will get more expensive, plus you will have less money with higher taxes. Watch what happens to your money in 3 weeks on April 1st.
I’ve set a reminder to revisit this on April 1.
Please no. He’s not Trump.
Not sure where you’re getting this from but it goes directly against what he’s been saying throughout his campaign.
