The liberals in Canada have just elected a new prime minister after Justin Trudeau resigned in January.

The new prime minister is a banker named Mark Carney, who is apparently new to politics.

Here’s more from Axios:

Canada’s ruling Liberal Party elected a new party leader Sunday who will serve as the nation’s next prime minister, replacing outgoing premier Justin Trudeau.

Liberal Party members’ vote for Mark Carney, former governor of the Banks of Canada and England, comes as the Liberal Party is experiencing a polling boost amid widespread opposition to President Trump’s policies targeting its northern neighbor.

The election result marks a new era for Canadian politics.

Trudeau served as the leader of Canada’s Liberal Party for 11 years and the country’s prime minister for nine.

Trudeau told the Liberal crowd in his farewell speech that their country “needs you, maybe more than ever” and “once again, we need you.”

He added: “Democracy is not a given. Freedom is not a given.”

Trudeau resigned as Liberal Party leader in January amid deep unpopularity, as polls showed the Conservative Party was set to trounce the Liberals in the upcoming national elections.

Trudeau said he would remain prime minister until a new party leader was chosen.

Yet anti-Trump sentiment, spurred by Trump’s tariffs and boasts about making Canada the 51st state, have raised the party’s fortunes, with one poll giving the Liberal Party its first lead since 2021.

Trudeau’s resignation triggered a race in the Liberal Party to choose his successor, with the winner becoming the country’s next prime minister for the duration of the party’s ruling term.

Out with the old leftist, in with a new leftist.
