OTTAWA-Canada\u2019s self-described \u2018globalist\u2019 new Prime Minister Mark Carney immediately took aim at President Donald Trump<\/a> upon winning his party\u2019s leadership contest last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Carney criticized President Trump during his acceptance speech when he won the Liberal leadership last Sunday, saying that Canada\u2019s tariffs against the United States will remain until the Americans “show us respect” and added that Canadians “are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.”<\/p>\n

He also tried to tie Trump to his main challenger. “Donald Trump thinks he can weaken us with his plan to divide and conquer,” while “Pierre Poilievre\u2019s plan will leave us divided and ready to be conquered.”<\/p>\n

“Because a person who worships at the altar of Donald Trump will kneel before him, not stand up to him.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

NEW CANADIAN PM BLASTS TRUMP’S 51ST STATE IDEA: ‘CRAZY’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Having served as governor of two central banks \u2013 of Canada and the United Kingdom – he was also a senior executive at Goldman Sachs and served as the United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance. Never elected to any office before, Carney was sworn in on Friday to become Canada\u2019s 24th prime minister.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He is expected to call an election this week in a bid to keep the Liberals in power, and for him, to win a seat in the House of Commons.<\/p>\n

Count on the official opposition Conservatives, in a dead heat with the Liberals at 37% according to a recent Leger poll, to portray Carney as someone “not connected to the common man” and who has spent a fair amount of time outside Canada, Laura Kurkimaki told Fox News Digital. Kurkimaki served as deputy national campaign manager for the Conservative Party during the last federal election in 2021.<\/p>\n

“Over the last five years, while Canadians have been lining up at foodbanks and experiencing a significant cost-of-living increase, he has not been in Canada,” Kurkimaki said.<\/p>\n

Seen by detractors as out of touch, Carney, during a recent leadership debate, did not provide an answer when the moderator asked the candidates whether they knew the average cost of a week\u2019s worth of groceries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an appearance on “The Rest is Politics” podcast<\/a> last month featuring Alastair Campbell, former British prime minister Tony Blair\u2019s press secretary, and past Goldman Sachs executive Anthony Scaramucci, Carney said that his “weakness is people will charge me as being elitist or globalist.”<\/p>\n

“Well, that happens to be exactly what we need,” he said, adding that he\u2019s also “a pragmatist” and “a leader in crisis.”<\/p>\n

When Scaramucci asked Carney how he would respond to attacks that he is “out of touch with the mainstream, common citizen in Canada,” the new prime minister said that most of his life in Canada “has been in service of Canadians.”<\/p>\n

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre also targeted Carney,<\/a> who played hockey at Harvard and Oxford, after he was photographed playing goalie reportedly wearing high-end sneakers.<\/p>\n

“Trying to be a normal guy playing hockey in $2000 shoes,” Poilievre posted on X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kurkimaki said the upcoming federal election campaign with Carney at the Liberal helm could be a replay of the one in 2011 when another “out-of-touch” Liberal leader \u2013 historian Michael Ignatieff, who came from the world of academia \u2013 lost his House seat, and his party recorded its worst-ever result in a general election that the Conservatives won.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s new prime minister earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in economics at Harvard University<\/a> and went on to receive master\u2019s and doctoral degrees in economics at the University of Oxford.<\/p>\n

Carney, who lived in the tony Ottawa neighborhood of Rockcliffe Park before becoming prime minister, also holds British and Irish citizenship. Earlier this month, he said that he had begun the process of renouncing both.<\/p>\n

Along the way, the man whose looks were once compared to those of actor George Clooney made a fortune at England\u2019s central bank alone. Carney earned $1.3 million, including pay, allowances and housing costs \u2013 the highest for the head of any federal reserve at the time.<\/p>\n

However, his current net worth might not be revealed any time soon. Before becoming prime minister, Carney divested his assets, “other than his personal real estate, into a blind trust,” a member of his team told CBC News<\/a>. Under Canadian law, public-office holders need to divest their assets, such as stock options, either by selling them or having a trustee manage or sell them without, in this case, consulting Carney.<\/p>\n

Carney’s spokesperson did not return Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
