A staggering victory for economist Mark Carney, who's set to succeed Justin Trudeau as Canada's next Prime Minister.
The 59-year-old has an ample resume, having served as head of the banks of Canada and England.
He's indicated he'll hold his ground against Donald Trump as the US President holds the threat of more tariffs over Canada's head.
Globe & Mail Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife told Mike Hosking Carney easily won 86 percent of the vote.
He says it's unheard of in recent times to see someone win the leadership like that, and it's in large part due to Canadian's being scared stiff of what Trump's up to with his trade war.
