马克·卡尼以超过85%的首轮投票率和超过86%的总得票率赢得了自由党领袖竞选。这位前加拿大央行和英格兰银行行长强调，他打算立即废除消费者碳税。

渥太华——周日自由党新任领导人公布前，前总理让·克雷蒂安登台就关税和对加拿大主权的威胁对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普进行了谴责。

克雷蒂安警告聚集在渥太华的自由党人士，由于特朗普政府持续的敌意，加拿大与美国“长期且富有成效”的关系正在破裂。

这位前总理赞扬了贾斯汀·特鲁多总理领导的政府以及加拿大各省省长在过去几周应对特朗普威胁时所展现的领导力。

他表示，加拿大政府的反击是正确的，并表示加拿大政府可以采取更进一步的行动，对石油、天然气、钾肥、钢铁、铝和电力征收出口税，打击美国的“痛处”。他建议，这笔钱可以用来建设基础设施。

克雷蒂安表示，这些“不合理”的关税对加拿大人和美国人都将造成双输的局面，但对加拿大来说，这“不仅仅是金钱问题”。

他敦促加拿大人挺身而出，捍卫自己的国家，并补充说，加拿大虽然是一个好邻居，但也是一个自豪而独立的国家。

“老家伙们，别再胡闹了，”克雷蒂安对人群说。“加拿大永远不会加入美国。”

克雷蒂安表示，加拿大将永远是“世界上最好的国家”。他感谢特朗普“前所未有地”团结了加拿大人民，并开玩笑说他应该获得加拿大勋章。

“从历史上看，尽管我们关系友好，但我们也遇到过问题，但我们总能找到解决办法，”他说。“我们过去曾与美国合作，我告诉你们，未来我们还会继续这样做。”

“我们将度过非常艰难的时期，但我相信，我非常有信心，下一任总理将与各位总理、下议院各政党领导人以及世界各地的盟友携手合作，共同应对特朗普先生给全世界带来的挑战。”

特朗普威胁要对加拿大征收关税，并动用“经济力量”，使加拿大成为美国的第51个州。

特朗普对来自墨西哥和加拿大的进口产品征收25%的关税，随后迅速暂停征收，此举引发市场对贸易战的担忧，导致市场暴跌。特朗普在接受福克斯新闻频道“周日早间期货”节目的录音采访时表示，他更广泛的“互惠”关税计划将于4月2日生效。

Former prime minister Jean Chrétien tells Trump to 'stop this nonsense'

Mark Carney wins the Liberal leadership race with over 85% of the points on the first ballot, and over 86% of all votes. The former Bank of Canada and England governor emphasized he intends to immediately repeal the consumer carbon tax.

OTTAWA — Moments before the new Liberal leader was announced on Sunday, former prime minister Jean Chrétien took to the stage to reprimand U.S. President Donald Trump over tariffs and threats to Canada’s sovereignty.

Chrétien warned a crowd of Liberals gathered in Ottawa that Canada’s “long and fruitful” relationship with Americans was falling apart with continued hostility coming from the Trump administration.

The former prime minister applauded Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government and Canada’s premiers for their leadership in the last few weeks standing up to Trump’s threats.

He said the government is right to retaliate and said Canadian governments could go even further, hitting Americans “where it really hurts” by imposing an export tax on oil and gas, potash, steel, aluminum and electricity. The money could be used to build up infrastructure, he suggested

Chrétien said the “unjustified” duties will be a lose-lose situation for both Canadians and Americans but that, for Canada, this is about “more than money.”

He urged Canadians to stand up for the country, adding that while Canada is a good neighbour, it’s also a proud and independent country.

“From one old guy to another old guy, stop this nonsense,” Chrétien told the crowd. “Canada will never join the United States.”

Chrétien said Canada will remain “the best country in the world.” He thanked Trump for uniting Canadians “as never before” and joked that he should receive the Order of Canada.

“Historically, despite our friendship, we have had problems but we always found a way to solve them,” he said. “We have worked with and collaborated with the U.S. in the past and I’m telling you we will do so in the future.”

“We are going to be living very difficult times but I’m confident, I’m very confident that the next prime minister will work with the premiers, the leaders of all the political parties in the House of Commons and allies around the world to stand together to meet the challenges that Mr. Trump is creating for the whole world.”

Trump has threatened Canada with tariffs and “economic force” to make it the 51st state.

After imposing and then quickly pausing 25 per cent tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada that sent markets tumbling over concerns of a trade war, Trump said in a taped interview with Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that his plans for broader “reciprocal” tariffs will go into effect April 2.
