ICYMI: Mark Carney Is Canada's Next Prime Minister

ICYMI: Mark Carney Is Canada's Next Prime Minister

Published 1 year ago
Description
Our neighbors to the north have a new leader. On Sunday, the Liberal Party of Canada held a leadership election to replace its outgoing party leader and prime minister, Justin Trudeau.

Its members chose Mark Carney, a former bank governor who has never held elected office. The change in leadership comes in the wake of the United States launching a trade war against Canada.

We discuss how the country's next prime minister might navigate such frosty relations.
