Mark Carney has been sworn in as Canada's prime minister, succeeding Justin Trudeau. Carney, a former central banker with no prior public office experience in Canada, faces challenges including leading the Liberal Party into an upcoming election and navigating strained relations with the US. He directly addressed Canada's tensions with the US, stating that Canada will never be part of the United States. Carney's priorities are protecting Canadian workers from US trade actions and growing the Canadian economy. Elected Liberal Party leader in March, Carney brings extensive experience in navigating global financial crises. His cabinet includes several ministers from Trudeau's government, with Chrystia Freeland becoming Minister of Transport and Internal Trade. The transfer of power follows Trudeau's resignation earlier this year amid declining poll numbers for the Liberal Party. However, the party's fortunes have improved recently due to growing Canadian antipathy toward US President Donald Trump and his policies. Carney plans to call an election before October 20th.
