OTTAWA, Ontario — Former Central Bank Governor of Canada Mark Carney will become Canada’s next prime minister after winning the Liberal leadership race on Sunday night. Carney told cheering supporters that "Canada will never become part of America in any way, shape or form."
Carney received 86% of the vote, or 131,764 votes of the 151,899 ones cast from the nearly 400,000 party members who registered to participate in the leadership election.
The new Liberal leader told members that they should be prepared to fight "the most important election of our lives" where the "stakes have never been higher."
He said Canada is the "greatest country in the world and now our neighbors want to take us. No way," said the incoming Canadian prime minister, referring to President Donald Trump’s repeated desire for the U.S. to annex Canada as the "51st state."
