Mark Carney has been elected as the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, succeeding Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister of Canada. His victory was announced at an event in Ottawa at which Trudeau referred to the "existential crisis" the country faces from Donald Trump's threats of turning Canada into the 51st state, and closed his speech with the hockey expression "elbows up." Former Prime Minister Jean Chretien described Canada's relationship with the U.S. as "falling apart before our eyes and becoming something that is difficult to name." Here's more from @GlobalNews.
