With Trump in mind, Mark Carmy and Trudeau enlist “fast” transfer of power in Canada

The new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, Mark Carnyhe met Monday with the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, to prepare a “fast”Transfer of power in the North American country.

Carneyformer governor of the Central Banks of Canada and England, won the presidency of the Liberal Party on Sunday with a strong victory over his rivals and plans to assume the position of Prime Minister in the next few days.

After meeting this Monday in Parliament with Trudeau, Carney He did not advance when the resignation of the current leader will occur so that he can access the position and only said it will be “soon”

Carney He just declared to the press that his long conversation with Trudeauwho in January announced that he would resign at the head of the government as soon as the Liberal Party chose a new leader, had revolved on relations with the United States and national security.

In his social networks, he said that “There is a lot of work and very difficult ahead for the Canadians. And we are already starting”

On Sunday, after being declared a new president of the Liberal Party with about 86 % of the votes cast, Carney He dedicated a good part of his speech to denounce the attacks of the US president, Donald Trump, to Canadian economy and sovereignty.

Carneywhich comes to power with the reputation of good economic management at the head of the Bank of Canada (2008-2013) and the Bank of England (2013-2020), said that its government will maintain commercial reprisals against the United States “Until Americans show respect“To the Canadians.

“And until they can make credible and reliable commitments to free trade and fair”He added.

So that Carney It becomes the 25 Prime Minister of Canada, Trudeau must officially present his resignation before the governor of the country, who exercises the functions of head of state, Mary Simon.

Subsequently, he will have to take an oath or promise his position at the head of the Canada government also before Simon.

One of the initial decisions that Carney He must take as prime minister of the country is whether the Parliament dissolves and immediately summons the Canadians to the polls, since the general elections are scheduled for October this year.

In January, Trudeau decided to suspend the sessions of Parliament until March 24 so that the liberals could choose a new leader and prepare the transition.

The liberals are in the minority in the lower house, so the union of the three main opposition parties (the Conservative Party, the Social Democrat New Democratic Party and the sovereign Quebequés block) can win a motion of censure and cause early elections.

Until January, the surveys indicated that the conservative party, led by Pierre Poilievre, would comfortably win the elections by having an advantage of up to 26 points over the liberals, which were in danger of being relegated to fourth place in Parliament.

But the resignation of Trudeau and Trump’s constant attacks against Canada have made the liberals dramatically trimmed the advantage of conservatives or even stand up.
