The governing Liberal Party of Canada elects former central banker Mark Carney its leader. He'll face President Trump's trade war and annexation threat, and a federal election.
Mark Carney has been elected leader of Canada’s Liberal Party in a months-long, high stakes race to replace Justin Trudeau.
Justin Trudeau, who was first elected prime minister in November 2015, announced on Jan. 6 his intention to resign as Liberal Party leader and prime minister.
The former central banker will become the next PM, and many Canadians see him as the best hope in the Trump era.
