It is noteworthy that on March 14, Mark Carney, the leader of Canada’s ruling Liberal Party, took the oath of office as the 24th Prime Minister of Canada, marking the end of Justin Trudeau’s nearly 10-year-long tenure in power. Justin Trudeau had announced his resignation as Prime Minister in January due to mounting pressure over inflation and threats of a trade war with the United States.
