The top official of the Central Bank of Canada, Mark Carney, rejected the greatest support from members of the ruling Liberal Party. Now he can become Justin Trudeau's defender in the Prime Minister's position.
This is reported by RBC-Ukraine via Reuters.
The 59-year-old Carney was ahead of the former head of the Ministry of Finance, Christia Freeland, who was appointed to the other place in the competition, to confirm the official voting results.
Three or more than 150,000 party members shared the fate of the vote.
Introducing Trudeau and choosing a defender
It is likely that Trudeau voted on the 6th day that he will be in office after more than 9 years of being in office as the Prime Minister of Canada.
Due to the decline in his rating of the ruler, the Liberal Party was determined to hold a quick competition for his replacement.
Carney is considered a “new guy” by the police. Previously, he insisted that the best way to renew the party was to guard against trade negotiations with US President Donald Trump, who threaten additional measures.

It's worth noting that Carney was named the favorite in the competition to replace Trudeau – he won the most support from party members and the most pennies raised among the four Liberal candidates.
As they say in recent years, Carney’s victory marks “the first attack since becoming Prime Minister of Canada as an outsider without a real political past.”

During the election campaign, Carney announced that he supported a “dollar for dollar” rally against the United States, as well as a coordinated investment promotion strategy.
In addition, Carney repeatedly said that Canada’s economic growth during Trudeau’s time was “insufficient.”
It is also worthwhile to note that the prospect of a new start for the Liberal Party under Carney’s leadership, combined with Trump’s policies and his repeated insults to the “annexation of Canada as the 51st state of the United States” led to a complete revival of the liberals in Canada.
Carney previously said he was going to be “really focused on getting our economy back on track.”
“I helped solve numerous crises and helped turn two economies. I know how business works, and I know how to deal with you,” he said at the end of his promotion to Sichna.
However, behind the words of the conservatives, there is no great difference between Carney and Trudeau. The former head of the Bank of Canada has close ties with Trudeau, who recently recognized him as the head of the working group for economic growth.
