Prime Minister Mark Carney has seen a whirlwind of activity in his first few months in the role, from dealing with U.S. President Donald Trump to announcing huge spending increases for the military, as well as implementing tax cuts and passing legislation to expedite the construction of major projects, while fielding criticism from Opposition and some provinces for maintaining some of the energy-related legislation.
Here’s a look at some of the most important happenings since Carney’s April 28 election victory.
Relationship With Trump
Carney ran a campaign focused on challenging Trump’s tariffs and his comments about making Canada the 51st U.S. state. The two leaders first spoke on the phone in late March and agreed to meet after the April 28 election. Carney travelled to Washington to meet with Trump a few days after winning a Liberal minority government.
