The Castle, which previously headed the central banks of Canada and England, will become the first Prime Minister of Canada without political experience.
His coming to power takes place in the context of the Trade War with the United States, which was imprisoned by President Donald Trump. Karney stressed that Canada could not allow Trump to weaken its economy.
During the election campaign, Carney stated that it supports tariffs in response to the United States and a coordinated investment stimulation strategy.
“There is someone who is trying to weaken our economy. He attacks Canadian workers, family and business. We cannot allow him to succeed,” Carnier said at a party congress.
He also emphasized that his government will act quickly and non -standard. “It will not be a business as always,” the new prime minister said.
“We will have to do things that we could not imagine earlier, at such a speed that we considered impossible,” Carnney emphasized.
Justin Trudeau, who announced his resignation in January after more than nine years headed by the government, remained optimistic about the country’s future.
“Do not make mistakes, this is a decisive moment for the nation. Democracy is not a given. Freedom is not a given. Even Canada is not a given,” Trude said.
Prehistory:
- Since March 4, Donald Trump has introduced 25 percent tariffs for most of the Canadian and Mexican imports.
- In response, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the introduction of 25% of US goods worth $ 155 billion, and the Canadian province of Ontario declared its retaliation for tariffs for America to “feel pain”.
- In the end, Trump suspended 25% of tariffs imposed on large groups of goods from Canada and Mexico until April 2.
