  • Former central banker Mark Carney, fresh from a landslide victory to become the leader of Canada's ruling Liberal Party and the country's next prime minister, met Justin Trudeau on Monday and said the formal handover of power would be quick.

The article from Reuters discusses the challenges facing Mark Carney, a potential candidate for the leadership of Canada's Liberal Party, as he navigates the political landscape ahead of the 2025 election. Key issues include dealing with former U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on Canadian goods, which could significantly impact Canada's economy. Carney, who has experience as the Governor of the Bank of England and the Bank of Canada, is seen as a strong contender to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, especially if the Liberals face a tough election against the Conservative Party led by Pierre Poilievre. The article highlights Carney's economic expertise and his potential strategies to address trade tensions with the U.S., particularly focusing on how he might handle Trump's aggressive trade policies if they were to be reinstated. Additionally, it touches on the broader political context, including Trudeau's declining popularity and the internal dynamics within the Liberal Party.
