Liberal Party members have chosen former central banker Mark Carney to be their new leader and the next prime minister of Canada.

Carney secured enough votes in the first round of voting to win the job, party president Sachit Mehra announced.

    OMG a Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Bank of Canada had entirely different jobs to do, and different roles. They worked together but had different responsibilities.

    He’s going to tax polluting industries. Instead of individuals. If the country elects the Liberals under Carney it’s a mandate to try new things. What those new things are, will be decided by a guy with an education in economics and experience as a policy maker as the Governor of two major global Banks.

      Under Carney, everything you buy will get more expensive, plus you will have less money with higher taxes. Watch what happens to your money in 3 weeks on April 1st.
