Special Bulletin - Mark Carney to be sworn in as Prime Minister on Friday

Image
Various sources confirm that Mark Carney will be sworn in as the new Prime Minister of Canada, effective Friday. This comes after Carney won the Liberal Party of Canada's leadership election, with nearly 87% of the vote, last Sunday. The leadership election came to a surprise as Justin Trudeau resigned as Prime Minister of Canada, and leader of the Federal Liberals on January 6th. Carney was the Governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013, afterwards he was the Governor of the Bank of England until 2020. He will become the 24th prime minister at a ceremony at Rideau Hall Friday, after the formal resignation of Trudeau. Several TV networks may have to alter their schedules on Friday, due to the swearing in of Carney as the new Canadian prime minister.
