Toronto (Web Desk): Mark Carney, the newly appointed leader of Canada’s governing party, has officially taken the oath as the country’s Prime Minister, bringing an end to Justin Trudeau's decade-long leadership.
Carney 59, steps into this political role for the first time, having previously held high-ranking positions in banking.
His appointment marks a historical moment, as he becomes the first Prime Minister in Canadian history to have never served as a member of Parliament.
Carney assumes office at a time when Canada faces pressing challenges, including growing tensions with US President Donald Trump over issues related to Canadian sovereignty.
As the new leader of the country, Carney will also be tasked with overseeing the upcoming internal elections within his party, which could shape the future of his administration.
This leadership change comes after Trudeau announced his resignation in January, citing public opinion polls that suggested the Liberal Party could be on the brink of defeat in the next federal elections.
Following Trudeau’s announcement, the Liberal Party nominated Carney as their new leader, and on March 9, he won the leadership contest with a commanding majority, officially ending Trudeau’s long tenure in office.
