Soon after being named as the next Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney made his intentions clear with the United States, saying that Ottawa will “never ever be part of America in any way, shape or form.”
The 59-year-old political outsider, who has served as the governor of Bank of Canada and Bank of England, won the Liberal Party leadership with a whopping vote percentage of over 85 percent, securing 131,674 votes.
Known for his criticism of US President Donald Trump, on his victory announcement as well, Carney expressed his strong stance against America.
In response to Trump’s repeated wish of making Canada the 51st state of the United States, Carney responded with, “America is not Canada. Canada will never ever be part of America in any way, shape or form.”
Mark Carney said how Americans want the resources, water, land and country of the Canadians. “If they succeeded, they would destroy our way of life,” Carney said while addressing the gathering at the Liberal Party convention.
