He has made it clear that countering Trump's tariffs is his top priority, emphasizing that Canada will prevail in this economic struggle.
Domestically, Carney's stance on technology and cryptocurrency marks a new direction for Canada. He aims to balance innovation with regulation, ensuring financial stability. As Canada stands on the brink of a consequential election, Carney's leadership will be pivotal in navigating the nation's future amid mounting international and domestic pressures.
