Economist Mark Carney is set to automatically become Canada’s next prime minister after winning the Liberal Party leadership race, even though he hasn’t participated in a general election.
Justin Trudeau’s Successor Is a Former Central Banker and CBDC Proponent
Mark Carney, a former central banker, crypto sceptic, and central bank digital currency (CBDC) advocate, clinched 86% of votes in Canada’s controversial Liberal Party leadership election on Sunday, putting him in line to become Canada’s 24th Prime Minister.
To be clear, Carney will become an unelected prime minister since no general election has taken place yet, only a Liberal Party leadership race. The ex-central bank chief will now face off with popular Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, most likely in May, at which point, an officially elected prime minister will be chosen by the general public.
