TORONTO (AP) – The Canada Liberals in Canada will announce a replacement of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday while the country deals with the pricing threats of US President Donald Trump and as a federal election is looming.
The members of the Liberal Party seek to choose the former governor of Central Bank Mark Carney as a new leader of the party and the next Prime Minister of Canada during a vote to be announced on Sunday evening.
Carney, 59, sailed the crises when he was the head of the Bank of Canada and when, in 2013, he became the first non-citizen to lead the Bank of England since its creation in 1694. His appointment won Bipartisan praise in the United Kingdom after Canada recovered from the 2008 financial crisis more quickly than many other countries.
The opposition conservatives hoped that the elections on Trudeau, whose popularity decreased as the prices of food and housing increased and that immigration has increased. Trudeau announced his resignation in January, but remains Prime Minister until a successor is chosen and sworn.
Trump’s trade war and his speech on the creation of Canada The 51st US state exasperated the Canadians, who upset the American anthem in the NHL and NBA matches. Some cancel trips south of the border, and many avoid buying American products when they can.
The strong increase in Canadian nationalism has strengthened the chances of the Liberal Party during a parliamentary election expected in a few days or weeks, and liberal projections regularly improved opinion polls.
After decades of bilateral stability, the vote on the next Canada leader should now focus on who is best equipped to meet the United States.
Carney picked up an approval after the other of the ministers of the cabinet and members of the Parliament since he declared his candidacy in January. He is a very educated economist with the experience of Wall Street who has long been interested in entering politics and becoming Prime Minister, but there is a lack of political experience.
The other best liberal candidate in the direction is the former Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland. Trudeau told Freeland in December that he no longer wanted him as Minister of Finance, but that he could remain assistant and the point of points for American-Canadian relations. Freeland resigned shortly after, publishing a scathing letter on the government which turned out to be the last straw for Trudeau.
The new chef should trigger an election shortly after. Either the new leader of the Liberal Party will call one, or the opposition parties in the Parliament could force one with a vote without confidence later this month.
