Mark Carney, a former Goldman Sachs executive and ex-governor of the Bank of Canada, is the leading candidate to succeed Justin Trudeau as Canada’s Prime Minister and leader of the Liberal Party.
Known for his critical remarks comparing Donald Trump to Voldemort, Carney is trusted by Canadians to handle Trump’s provocative actions. Carney, who played hockey at Harvard and studied at Oxford, hails from a small town in Canada’s Northwest Territories. If elected, Carney may promptly call a federal election to leverage growing nationalistic sentiment against Trump’s tariff threats.
Trudeau resigned in January following criticism for his handling of tariffs. Carney’s rise is attributed to his perceived competence and ability to steady the nation in uncertain times.
