The new leader of the Liberals, who is expected to take over as his prime minister, said in a speech after his victory that his country will never become the 51st state.
Mr Karnni, 59, who served as governor of the Central Bank of Britain from 2013 to 2020, succeeds his peer, prime minister for a decade, from 2015, who announced in January that he will abandon his leadership and his post.
Mark Carni, young in politics, received 85.9% of the votes of about 152,000 members of the Liberal Party who participated in the process of promoting a new leader, dominating Christia Frilland, the former vice -president of the government and finance minister, said earlier.

“Until the Americans show us respect,” he insisted.
He emphasized that Americans “want our resources, our water, our land, our country. Think about it. If they do, they will destroy our lifestyle (…) America is a crucible. Canada is a mosaic (…) Canada will never become part of the US. “
“Don’t cheat, this is a decisive time for the nation. Democracy is not a given. Freedom is not a given. Not even Canada is given, “he said earlier before the outgoing leader and prime minister Trinto surrendered.
Prime Minister of Canada without experience in politics
Mark Carni became the first alien to take over the leadership of the Bank of England in 2013 in 1694. After his term in the institution – he previously served as Commander of the Canadian Central Bank – he took over various positions in Canadian businesses.
