After being declared as the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, Mark Carney – former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England – promised to “stand up for Canada.” Having spent the last two months campaigning for “big change” across the nation, Carney, 59, assured his party colleagues that he would “eliminate the divisive carbon tax” and put up a respectable fight against U.S. President Donald Trump’s recently imposed tariffs.
