Mark Carney, a former banker and crisis manager, has officially won the election — even though he’s never served a day in Parliament.
The 60-year-old once helped Canada through the 2008 financial crash and reassured the UK after Brexit. Now, he’s taking charge at one of the most tense moments in Canada–US relations, as Trump’s new tariffs shake the economy.
Critics say he lacks charisma and real political chops. Supporters believe his track record in global crises is exactly what Canada needs right now.
Carney’s words on the campaign trail:
"I’m most useful in a crisis. I’m not that good at peacetime."
