Mark Carney can’t save Canada

Mark Carney is the new leader of Canada 's Liberal party and the country’s next prime minister.

Carney entered the race to become the next Liberal leader after Justin Trudeau announced his resignation in January .

Carney won on the first round ballot with close to 86 per cent of the vote.

Canada has spent decades building its economy around its southern neighbour.

Trade makes up one third of the Canadian economy and 75 per cent of its exports go to the US .

If the US president wants to use his economic and military muscle against its long-time ally, there is very little any one leader can do to stop him.
