Canada will choose a new leader while facing a commercial war with the United States. A strong candidate is former Banquero Mark Carney, 59.
Canada seems to be ready to choose a ex -blown upside down in order to deal with threats that tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump.
Mark Carney, 59, could become the next prime minister when the ruling Liberal Party of Canada announced the replacement of Justin Trudeau in the vote on Sunday.
The conservatives of the opposition housed hopes that the elections will focus on Trudeau, whose popularity has decreased as food prices and housing increase and immigration is triggered.
Trudeau announced his resignation in January, but remains prime minister until a successor is chosen. Electoral laws require a vote before October, although it is expected to be carried out before.
Trump's commercial war and his comments on turning Canada into state 51 of the United States have enraged Canadians, who boo the US anthem into the NHL and NBA matches. Some are canceling trips to the south and many avoid buying American products when possible.
The increase in Canadian nationalism has strengthened the possibilities of the Liberal Party in parliamentary elections to be held in days or weeks, and the acceptance of liberals in opinion surveys has constantly improved.
After decades of bilateral stability, the vote on the next leader of Canada is expected to turn around who is better prepared to deal with the United States.
Who is Mark Carney?
Carney raffled crisis when he was the director of the Central Bank of Canada and when he became the first foreigner to direct the Bank of England since its foundation in 1694.
His appointment received bipartisan praise in the United Kingdom after Canada recovered from the financial crisis of 2008 faster than many other countries.
Carbyy is attributed the merit of maintaining money flowing through the Canadian economy by acting quickly to reduce 1 % interest rates – the lowest level in their history – working with bankers to preserve loans during the crisis and, crucially, informing the public that the rates would remain low so that they could continue to ask for money.
And it was not only that he had good policies, but he promoted them among the public in a way that everyone could understand them. It was the first central banker to commit to keep them in a historical minimum for a defined time, a step that the Federal Reserve of the United States would imitate.
Carney has received a support after another of cabinet ministers and members of Parliament since she announced her candidacy in January.
The other main candidate to lead the Liberal Party is the former minister Chrystia Freeland. Trudeau told Freeland in December that he no longer wanted him to remain finance minister, but that he could continue to be viceprimera minister and the contact person for relations between the United States and Canada. Freeland resigned shortly after, publishing a scathing letter on the government that turned out to be the final push for Trudeau to fall.
Three points turned the race for the leadership of the party into an overwhelming victory for Carney. Freeland had old history of links with the unpopular Trudeau. Carney worked hard to gather support from the liberal members of Parliament. And Trump's fixation for tariffs was also fundamental, Nelson Wiseman, Professor Emeritus from the University of Toronto.
