Mon Mar 10 04:17:52 UTC 2025: ## New Canadian PM Vows Fierce Resistance to Trump’s “Attacks”
**OTTAWA** – In a resounding victory, Mark Carney has been elected Canada’s new Prime Minister, securing 85.9% of the vote in a landslide win against Chrystia Freeland. His first address to the nation was a stark warning about the challenges posed by US President Donald Trump, whom he accused of waging an economic war against Canada.
Carney condemned Trump’s imposition of tariffs, characterizing them as unjustified attacks on Canadian workers, families, and businesses. He vowed a robust response, promising to forge new trade relationships with reliable partners, strengthen Canada’s borders, and implement retaliatory tariffs designed to maximize pressure on the US. These retaliatory measures, he stated, will remain in effect until the US demonstrates respect for Canada.
The former Governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England went further, accusing the US of coveting Canadian resources, water, and land. He forcefully rejected any suggestion of Canadian annexation, declaring, “Canada will never be a part of America in any way, shape, or form. Canada didn’t ask for a fight, but if it comes to that, we will win.”
While Carney’s victory was emphatic, his tenure may be short-lived. Canadian elections must be held by October, and with current polls suggesting the Conservatives are favored, a snap election could be called within weeks. Trump’s erratic trade policies and past pronouncements about annexing Canada hang as a significant threat to the new Prime Minister’s agenda.
