00:00Former central banker Mark Carney will become Canada's next Prime Minister after the ruling
00:06Liberal Party elected him as their new leader.
00:09And in his first speech, he was quick to take a defiant stance against threats from US President
00:14Donald Trump.
00:15There's someone who's trying to weaken our economy.
00:18Donald Trump, as we know, has put, as the Prime Minister just said, unjustified tariffs
00:26on what we build, on what we sell, on how we make a living.
00:32He's attacking Canadian families, workers and businesses, and we cannot let him succeed.
00:40Immediately addressing one of Canadians' most pressing concerns, Carney said his government
00:45will continue fighting Trump.
00:47The Canadian government has rightly retaliated and is rightly retaliating with our own tariffs
00:53that will have maximum impact in the United States and minimum impact here in Canada.
01:01My government will keep our tariffs on until the Americans show us respect.
01:06In first place, the next Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney.
01:12Carney was the former governor of Canada's central bank and is widely credited with helping
01:16orchestrate the country's fast recovery from the 2008 financial crisis.
01:21In 2013, he was appointed as governor of the Bank of England, becoming the first non-citizen
01:26to do so since its founding.
01:28More recently, he served as the United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Change and Finance.
01:34Carney will succeed Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister in the coming days after he's sworn
01:38in.
01:39The Harvard-educated economist with Wall Street experience may not keep the job for long.
01:44He's expected to trigger a snap election shortly.
01:47Opposition parties could also force one with a no-confidence vote later this month.
