Mark Carney, former Governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England—the first non-Briton to hold the latter role—has recently become Prime Minister of Canada after leading the Liberal Party to victory in the April 2025 federal election. Though the Liberals may form a minority government, Carney’s campaign surged following U.S. President Donald Trump's aggressive trade actions, which Carney countered with a strong nationalist stance. His background includes a PhD in economics from Oxford, executive roles at Goldman Sachs and Bloomberg, and key leadership during the global financial crisis and Brexit, particularly while steering the Bank of England. As Prime Minister, he has already begun shifting policy, notably eliminating the consumer carbon tax while maintaining industrial levies. Carney emphasizes unity, economic resilience, and defending Canadian sovereignty on the global stage.
