The election of Mark Carney as prime minister of Canada has worldwide significance because it places him at the center of a different school of thought in international economics. All but Trump.
When the polls closed on the election, there was a half-expectation that Carney would instantly beg for peace with President Trump. It has definitely not occurred.
He has made it clear that he plans to stick to the strategy that has gotten him elected, with a majority still within reach, in the closing days of the polls, in his victory address in Ottawa, and in his interview with me. Two of the other leaders of the main party have lost their seats, even if he just misses a majority.
