Canada-China relationship deadlock may not be broken by Carney's win, but Trump's threat could potentially ease trade tensions.
Mark Carney's Victory Amidst Political Storm
In the thick of Canada's federal election, former central banker, now Liberal Party leader and Prime Minister-elect, Mark Carney, claimed victory over his rivals on Tuesday. The win came amidst a tempestuous political climate, where the Conservatives posed a tough challenge.
As for the buzz about Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, it's essential to set the record straight. During Carney's tenure as a central banker (serving as Governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008–2013 and Bank of England from 2013–2020), there's no trace of any significant proposal or conversation regarding such a move.
The "51st state" talk emerged during the election campaign (April 2025), well after Carney had left his central banking career and entered politics. This notion seemed more like a campaign-trail rhetorical ploy than a serious proposal. Moreover, it took place years after he had transitioned out of central banking, so it bears no connection to his banking career.
Interestingly, these remarks appearing late in the campaign apparently boosted Carney's Liberal Party instead of harming it, as per political coverage from the 2025 election. In essence, it seems that Donald Trump's rhetoric backfired, playing into the hands of Carney and his party. Regardless, historical discussions about such a possibility during Carney's Bank of Canada or Bank of England years are not mentioned in the available coverage.
