Moments after former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney was crowned as Canada’s new Liberal leader and the next prime minister, former prime minister Jean Chrétien expressed his confidence in Carney, stating that he was “very optimistic” about his abilities. Chrétien, who served as the 20th prime minister from 1992 to 2003, believes that Carney will be a very good leader for Canada.
Chrétien, known for his fiery speech about U.S. President Donald Trump, criticized Trump’s constant presence in the headlines, referring to it as “over-exposure.” With his extensive experience in Parliament and as a former prime minister, Chrétien’s endorsement of Carney holds weight in Canadian politics.
It will be interesting to see how Carney’s leadership unfolds and how he addresses the challenges facing Canada in the coming years. With support from influential figures like Chrétien, Carney may have a strong foundation to lead the country effectively.
