In a historic election in Canada, former Bank of England governor Mark Carney has emerged as the victor against Conservative candidate Pierre Poilievre, who was backed by former US president Donald Trump.
Carney, who ran as the leader of the Liberal Party, secured a landslide victory, with his campaign focusing on progressive policies and a vision of unity for Canada. Poilievre, on the other hand, ran a controversial campaign with the backing of Trump, which seemed to have backfired with Canadian voters.
The results of the election have been met with mixed reactions, with many praising Carney's win as a step in the right direction for Canada, while others express concern about the influence of foreign politics in the election.
Despite the challenges and controversies surrounding the election, Carney's victory signals a new chapter for Canada, with many hopeful for positive change and unity in the country's future.
