Canada’s ruling Liberal Party has elected Mark Carney as its new leader and therefore Prime Minister, setting up a face-off between the former central banker and US President Donald Trump.

On Sunday afternoon the Liberal party announced Carney had won the contest to replace Justin Trudeau, who stepped down as leader in January after months of party infighting and poor polling.

However, celebrations for Carney and his team in Ottawa will be shortlived as Canada faces a trade war with its southern neighbour. Trump has threatened to levy broad tariffs on Canada’s imports and taunted that the country should become the 51st state of the US.

Carney is expected to immediately replace Trudeau, who was at the Liberal party event on Sunday.

Not clear why you need to bring up Russophobia on every topic. Plenty of US right wing and oil funding for destabilizing Canada, all the while supporting the demonism of war on Russia, by pretending that high diesel/home heating fuel was the result of carbon tax. The full CIA puppetry of all western political leaders meant never addressing the actual cause of fuel inflation, and if a Russian narrative could reach Canadians/west, it would point out the extreme hypocricy of such attacks.

The point of your anti-Russia claims, with even the more absurd "US wants Greenland to gift it to Russia", is that every response to a US empire/oligarch enshittification is to escalate vs Russia.

Not that unprogrammed Canadians exist, but the only hope for the country is to de-escalate against the enemies the US has chosen for the country. There could be some minimal hope that an economist brain acts rationally.
