“Experience Dark Days” – Trudeau – successor is also against the US

The 59-year-old economic expert will be the new chairman of the ruling liberal party in Canada. As the successor to Justin Trudeau, he will also take over the office of Prime Minister and, as the top candidate of his party, take on the expected new elections in the second largest state in the world.

In any case, Carney undoubtedly left in his first speech that he will oppose the aggression plans of US President Donald Trump and Trudeau. “Canada will not be part of America in any form,” he said shortly after the results of the party were known. The 59-year-old was convinced that his nation “experiences dark days, caused by a country that we can no longer trust”, but you will be able to take on the challenge.

“On the market like in ice hockey: Canada will win!”
For weeks there have been political and economic tensions between the US and Canada, encouraged that US President Trump has announced that the neighbor in the north is “51. To want to do the American state. In the last few days, Washington had introduced high rates in Canadian goods that Canada answered with against -Tariffs before Trump has suspended them for the time being. “On the market like in ice hockey: Canada will win!”, Said the proud Carney with the cheers of the members of his Center-Link party.

The 59-year-old ruled with 86 percent of the votes against the former finance minister Chrystia Freeland, the party announced on Sunday. Trudeau, who became party leader in 2013 and two years later, had announced his resignation in the light of bad poll values. Parliamentary elections must take place in the country in October, but they can be held within a few weeks. The opposition conservatives were originally in the lead in the surveys, but the liberals recently cleared clearly with a view to confrontation with the United States.

“We have made this the best country in the world and now our neighbors want to take over. Never! “Carney said shortly before the results were announced. Other candidates had also clearly positioned themselves against the United States in their final speech. Justin Trudeau has agitated: “We are a diplomatic country if we can, but if we have to, we fight – elbows!” Almost 152,000 of the approximately 400,000 members of the Liberal Party, which Canada has ruled for more than 50 years since the Second World War, had participated in the mood.

Voters see the best opponent Trump in Carney
Carney had entered the race for the party chairman with an economically oriented, centric agenda. In the trade war with the United States, he wants to continue the Trudeau course of the determined resistance. According to a survey of the broadcaster “CTV News”, 40 percent of the Canadians believe that Carney would be the best politician for negotiations with Trump – considerably more than 26 percent encouragement for the chairman of the conservative and his greatest domestic opponent, Pierre Poilievre.

Carney is also seen as a competent, because he has a lot of experience with national and international crisis management: during the financial crisis, the dog lover who grew up in the province of Alberta in West -Canada led the central bank of his home country from 2008. Carney is also attributed to the relatively good recovery in Canada in the following years. During the Brexit he was head of the Central Bank in Great Britain until January of this year, the special envoy of the UN for climate financing.

Closer cooperation with Europe and Asia planned
The liberale promises a fundamental reform of the economy with tax lighting for the middle class and the reduction of bureaucratic obstacles, as well as a greater promotion of innovation and investments. Carney argues for closer cooperation with Europe and Asia to reduce the US trade dependence.

The new liberal boss could go quickly in new elections
In the coming days, the departing Prime Minister Trudeau, with his designated successor, will probably determine a date for the transfer of government transactions and formally withdraws. The new prime minister may want to adjust the government, with existing ministers compared to the rapidly expected new elections. The parliament in Ottawa will meet again on March 24. For this day, the opposition plans a voice of no trust that should cause new elections in the coming months.

Carney could also explain his minority government to fail before this date and to call new elections. Tactically, observers see this as a possible smart and proactive train because the liberals have recently cleared clearly in the surveys.
