Ex-Central Bank Head Becomes Canada’s Leader, Supports Digital Currency
Mark Carney, former central banker and CBDC advocate, is set to become Canada’s next prime minister after winning the Liberal Party leadership race with 86% of the vote.
However, he assumes the role without a general election, facing a likely showdown with Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre in May. A close ally of Justin Trudeau, Carney has been an economic advisor to the Liberal Party since 2020. Known for his skepticism of cryptocurrencies, he strongly supports CBDCs, arguing they will dominate the financial system. His leadership comes amid growing criticism of Trudeau’s economic legacy.
