Mark Carney has been sworn in as Canada's new Prime Minister in a solemn ceremony held at Rideau Hall in the capital Ottawa. The moment marks a new phase for Canadian politics, following the formal resignation of Justin Trudeau, who thanked the Canadian people for the trust and support they gave him during his term.
Carney, who previously served as governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, was elected as the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada over the weekend, winning a landslide victory in the party's internal elections. In his statement after the swearing-in, Carney said: "We will get down to business immediately," underscoring his commitment to leading the government through a period of challenges.
Justin Trudeau's resignation came after a long tenure in power, during which he managed to lead Canada for two terms. He announced his resignation earlier this morning, thanking Canadians for the trust they placed in him and highlighting the many challenges he has overcome during his leadership.
All eyes are now on Mark Carney to see how he will manage the current political and economic situation. One of the main questions that has been raised by public opinion is whether Carney will call a snap federal election, which is scheduled for October this year. This is a hot issue that political leaders and analysts are expected to analyze in the coming days.
