马克·卡尼在以强劲的第一轮选举胜利当选新自由党领袖后发表了首次演讲。
周日是加拿大政坛的关键时刻，马克·卡尼成为自由党新领袖。他在作为党魁的首次演讲中向加拿大人民发表了讲话，反思了国家面临的挑战以及指导他领导方式的价值观。他的演讲重点是团结、进步以及强有力的协作努力以解决未来问题的必要性。以下是他的完整演讲：
这个房间很强大。这个房间是加拿大强大的。谢谢你，克莱奥。感谢我的妻子戴安娜和我们的孩子克莱奥、泰丝、阿米莉亚和萨沙。没有你们的支持，我就不会站在这里。没有你们的榜样，我就不会有目标。没有你们的爱，我就没有面对未来所需的力量。
克雷蒂安先生，您激励我的家人成为自由党人，包括我的父亲在 20 世纪 80 年代作为自由党候选人参加阿尔伯塔省竞选，以及我继续您的财政责任、社会正义和国际领导传统。
特鲁多总理，我的时间不允许我承认您的所有成就。作为加拿大的斗士，您兼具力量和同情心。您带领我们度过了这个国家面临的一些最艰难的挑战。我向您和所有加拿大人保证，我将日夜工作，只有一个目标：为每个人建设一个更强大的加拿大。我需要帮助。很多帮助。因此，感谢 Chrystia、Frank 和 Karina 为这次竞选带来的活力和想法。感谢那些在加拿大面临巨大危险时仍留在原职直接为加拿大服务的部长们。感谢一群了不起的自由党议员：你们是社区的代言人，也是我们党的良心。感谢你们的服务。
为了表达这种服务，让我引用鲍勃·泽特尔给我和其他候选人的留言，他——坦白说，他去我的教堂——实际上，我去鲍勃的教堂，因为他去的次数比我多得多。无论如何，鲍勃写信给我们，我引用他的话：“现在，每个人都认为主要威胁是特朗普的关税，[但]更大的挑战将是，一如既往地，促进团结和共同利益意识。有些人会通过分裂我们来谋求权力，我们需要你们继续担任领导职务，促进加拿大的团结……致力于公共利益，尊重全世界的正义和法治。”现在，所有加拿大人都被要求以自己的方式服务。我们都被要求为彼此和加拿大的生活方式挺身而出。那么，让我问你们：谁准备好了？谁愿意和我一起为加拿大挺身而出？是的，加拿大，自由党团结而强大，随时准备为建设一个更好的国家而战。
我生活中的一切都帮助我为这一刻做好了准备。两个月前，我举手竞选领导人，因为我觉得我们需要以强大的加拿大价值观为指导的重大变革。这些价值观是我在餐桌上从父母鲍勃和维利以及我的三个兄弟姐妹布伦达、肖恩和布莱恩那里学到的。这些价值观是我在埃德蒙顿冰球场上从我的教练那里学到的，比如 Storman-Norman Lee。我的父母是老师，他们强调勤奋、社区和宽容的重要性。我的教练是敬业的志愿者，他们教会了我团队合作、雄心和谦逊的重要性。我把这些价值观带到了大学。在我处理加拿大和世界其他地方的危机时，我牢记这些价值观。这些价值观指导着我努力建设强大的经济。今天，在我们面临这一代人最大的危机时，我仍然坚守这些价值观。
加拿大人知道，新的威胁需要新的想法和新的计划。他们知道，新的挑战需要新的领导。加拿大人希望有积极的领导来结束分裂，帮助我们共同建设。作为回应，我的政府将实施我们的计划，建设更强大的经济，与可靠的伙伴建立新的贸易关系，并确保我们的边境安全。需要明确的是，这需要改变，巨大的改变。但我知道加拿大人已经准备好了。全国各地的人都这样告诉我。人们想要改变，因为他们很担心。他们担心生活成本和住房危机。他们担心年轻人的未来。他们担心加拿大的未来，因为特朗普总统的威胁以及更加分裂和危险的世界。现在，我首先是一个实用主义者。这意味着，当我看到某些事情行不通时，我会改变它。因此，我的政府将立即取消对家庭、农民和企业征收的有争议的消费者碳税。
中小企业。我们将停止提高资本利得税，因为我们认为应该激励建筑商承担风险，并在他们成功时得到奖励。加拿大需要更多这样的改变。这种改变会给人们的口袋带来更多钱。这种改变会让我们的公司更具竞争力。这种改变会打造出七国集团中最强大的经济体。
有人试图削弱我们的经济。唐纳德·特朗普。唐纳德·特朗普对我们建造的东西、我们销售的东西、我们谋生的方式征收了不合理的关税。他在攻击加拿大的工人、家庭和企业。我们不能让他得逞，我们也不会让他得逞。我为加拿大人民的回应感到自豪，他们发出了自己的声音，让他们的钱包感受到了。我很感激加拿大各省挺身而出，参与这场斗争。因为当我们团结起来时，我们就是强大的加拿大。加拿大政府理所当然地以我们自己的关税进行报复，这将对美国产生最大影响，对加拿大的影响最小。我的政府将继续征收关税，直到美国人对我们表示尊重……并对自由和公平贸易做出可信、可靠的承诺。与此同时，我们将确保所有关税收益都用于保护我们的工人。
美国人想要我们的资源、水、土地和国家。想一想。如果他们成功了，他们就会摧毁我们的生活方式。在美国，医疗保健是一项大生意。在加拿大，这是一项权利。美国是一个大熔炉。加拿大是一个马赛克。美国不承认差异。它不承认原住民。法语永远不会有权利。生活的乐趣、文化和法语是我们身份的一部分。我们必须保护它们；我们必须推广它们。我们永远不会用它们来换取任何贸易协议！
美国不是加拿大。加拿大永远不会以任何方式、形式成为美国的一部分。我们没有要求这场斗争，但加拿大人总是准备好迎接别人的挑战。所以，美国人不应该犯错……在贸易和冰球方面，加拿大都会赢。但这场胜利来之不易。我们正面临着一生中最重要的危机。我们必须一起做出非凡的事情。我们必须以我们从未想象过的速度，去建设我们从未想象过的东西。最重要的是，我们必须把人民放在金钱之前。我们必须团结起来，建设世界上最强大、最公平、最自由的国家。
还有人会削弱我们的经济。那就是皮埃尔·波利耶夫。他就是不明白。他是那种终身从政的人，我在世界各地都见过这样的人，尽管从未发过工资，却崇拜自由市场。现在，面对特朗普的威胁，皮埃尔·波利耶夫仍然拒绝获得安全许可。而此时，我们的国家安全正受到前所未有的威胁。他会在经济极度不安全的时候破坏加拿大银行。在虚假信息和外国干涉不断增加的当下，皮埃尔·波利耶夫 (Pierre Poilievre) 想要关闭加拿大广播公司 (CBC) 和加拿大广播电台 (Radio-Canada)。他侮辱我们的市长，在建设时期无视原住民。他会在全世界民主和人权岌岌可危之际停止国际援助。他会让我们的星球燃烧。皮埃尔·波利耶夫 (Pierre Poilievre) 会让我们的星球燃烧。这不是领导力，而是意识形态。这种意识形态背叛了我们加拿大人所珍视的……彼此。这种意识形态代表了对经济运作方式的根本误解。
与皮埃尔·波利耶夫 (Pierre Poilievre) 不同，我实际上曾在私营部门工作过。我知道世界是如何运转的，以及如何让它更好地为我们服务。这些知识和经验现在对加拿大人特别有用，因为我们必须建立新的经济和新的贸易关系。让我告诉你另一件我们知道而皮埃尔·波利耶夫 (Pierre Poilievre) 不知道的事情：我们知道市场没有价值观，人有。作为自由党人，我们知道，我们的工作是让市场为所有加拿大人服务。市场是我们发明的最强大的工具。它们可以帮助我们找到解决最大问题的方法。当市场管理得当，它们能比任何东西都更好地提供大量就业机会和强劲增长。但市场也对人类的苦难漠不关心，对我们最大的需求视而不见。因此，当市场管理不善时——或者根本没有管理时——它们会为少数幸运儿带来巨额财富，而让其他人陷入困境。在这场危机中，我们需要帮助那些受美国关税打击最严重的人，并在国内增强我们的实力。这是正确的做法。这是公平的做法。这是加拿大人应该做的事情。这就是我们强大的原因。
马克·卡尼在当选自由党领袖后的首次演讲中批评了皮埃尔·波利耶夫和唐纳德·特朗普。
唐纳德·特朗普认为他可以通过分而治之的计划削弱我们。 Pierre Poilievre 的计划将使我们分裂并准备被征服
红色。因为一个崇拜唐纳德·特朗普的人会跪在他面前，而不是站起来反对他。皮埃尔·波利耶夫的口号不是解决方案。他的愤怒不是行动。他的分裂不是力量。分裂不会赢得贸易战。分裂不会支付房租或抵押贷款。分裂不会降低食品价格。分裂不会让加拿大强大。这就是分裂和愤怒的负面政治导致的。一半的美国人害怕对方，不信任他们。我们不能让这种情况发生在加拿大。美国人变得越来越分裂，这会削弱他们。如果我们团结一致，坚强起来，我们就会赢得这场战斗。是的，我们可以争论政治。我们可以争论曲棍球。我们甚至可以成为渥太华的油人队球迷。这是一个自由的国家。但说到加拿大，我们都在同一支球队。让我们选择坚强。加拿大强大。
我从长期经验中学到，在危机中，“有计划胜过没有计划”，你需要首先区分哪些是可以改变的，哪些是不能改变的。我们无法改变唐纳德·特朗普。我们必须明白我们能改变什么，哪些是必须改变的。我们是自己家的主人。我们可以通过一个让你们口袋里有更多钱的计划来控制我们的经济命运。这个计划将确保你们的政府减少开支，以便加拿大可以进行更多投资。这个计划将建造数百万套房屋。这个计划将使加拿大成为能源超级大国。这个计划将与可靠的合作伙伴建立新的贸易走廊。这个计划将创造一个加拿大经济体，而不是十三个，因为团结起来的加拿大会更强大。我们可以给予自己的东西远远超过唐纳德·特朗普所能拿走的东西。这需要非凡的努力。这不会是一切照旧。我们将不得不做以前从未想象过的事情，以我们从未想过的速度。我们将为了共同利益而这样做，让每个加拿大人都能受益。
我关心经济，不是因为我是经济学家，而是因为我关心人民。这就是我成为自由党的原因，这就是我们成为自由党的原因。我们知道，强大经济的价值始于拥有良好工作、高薪的工人，以及未来青年更光明的未来。作为自由党，我们知道，我们无法重新分配我们没有的东西。我们知道，如果我们在国内软弱，我们就无法在国外强大，我们知道，如果我们不能管理好现在，我们就无法建设更美好的未来。因此，当我们为强大的经济而战时，我们是在为以下目标而战：为每个人提供良好的加拿大医疗保健；为建立这个国家的老年人提供强有力的支持；为年轻勤劳的家庭提供儿童保育；为每个需要的人提供牙科和药物保健。我们为强大的经济而战，这样我们才能为我们的子孙后代创造一个更可持续的世界，我们一定会实现这一目标。
我知道这是黑暗的日子。黑暗的日子是由一个我们不再信任的国家带来的。我们正在从震惊中走出来，但我们永远不要忘记教训：我们必须照顾好自己，也必须互相照顾。在未来的艰难日子里，我们需要团结一致。
对于今晚在史密斯堡、埃德蒙顿和加拿大各地社区收看节目的家庭，我向你们保证：我们能够——也将会——共同度过这场危机。我们能够——也将会——比以往任何时候都更加强大，因为加拿大是建立在人民的力量之上的。从我们的矿山到我们的港口；从我们的伐木道路到我们的城市街道，当我们团结一致时，我们是最强大的。当我们是一个经济体，而不是十三个经济体时。当我们可以为不同的球队加油，并且在重要时刻仍然是一个团队时。当我们团结一致时，我们就能创造持久的东西。因为我们是强大的加拿大。

Mark Carney's full speech after becoming Liberal leader
By Tammy Ibrahimpoor March 09, 2025 at 8:18PM EDT
Mark Carney delivers his first speech after being elected as the new Liberal leader with a strong first-ballot victory.
This room is strong. This room is Canada Strong. Thank you, Cleo. Thank you to my wife, Diana, and our children Cleo, Tess, Amelia, and Sasha. Without your support, I wouldn’t be standing here. Without your examples, I wouldn’t have a purpose. Without your love, I wouldn’t have the strength that I need for what lies ahead.
Monsieur Chrétien, you inspired my family to become Liberals, including my father to run as a Liberal candidate in Alberta in the 1980s, and myself to continue your tradition of fiscal responsibility, social justice, and international leadership.
Prime Minister Trudeau, my time doesn’t permit for me to recognize all of your accomplishments. You have combined strength and compassion as a fighter for Canada. You have led us through some of the hardest challenges that this nation has ever faced. I pledge to you, and to all Canadians, that I will work day and night with one purpose: to build a stronger Canada for everyone. I will need help. Lots of it. So, thank you to Chrystia, Frank, and Karina for the energy and ideas you have brought to this campaign. Thank you to those Ministers who have remained in their posts to serve Canada directly at this time of great peril. And to the incredible group of Liberal MPs: You are the voices for your communities and the conscience of our party. Thank you for your service.
To give a sense of that service, let me quote from a message that I and my fellow candidates received from Bob Zettel, who—full disclosure, goes to my church—actually, I go to Bob’s church as he’s there far more often than me. Anyway, Bob wrote to us, and I quote: “Right now, everyone sees the main threat as the Trump tariffs, [but] the far greater challenge will be, as it has always been, to foster unity and a sense of the common good. There are those who will seek power by dividing us and we need you to continue in positions of leadership to promote a united Canada… a commitment to the common good and a respect for justice and the rule of law throughout the world.” Right now, all Canadians are being asked to serve in their own ways. We are all being called to stand up for each other and for the Canadian way of life. So, let me ask you: Who’s ready? Who’s ready to stand up for Canada with me? Yes, Canada, the Liberal party is united and strong, and ready to fight to build an even better country.
Everything in my life has helped prepare me for this moment. Two months ago, I put my hand up to run for leader because I felt we needed big changes, guided by strong Canadian values. Values I learned at the dinner table from my parents Bob & Verlie and my three siblings Brenda, Sean, and Brian. Values that I learned at the hockey rinks of Edmonton from my coaches, such as Storman-Norman Lee. My parents were teachers who stressed the importance of hard work, community, and tolerance. My coaches were dedicated volunteers who taught me the importance of teamwork, ambition, and humility. I carried those values with me to university. I kept them close as I managed crises here in Canada and elsewhere in the world. These same values guided me in my work to build strong economies. And today, I hold on to them as we face the greatest crisis of our generation.
Canadians know that new threats demand new ideas and a new plan. They know that new challenges demand new leadership. Canadians want positive leadership that will end division and help us build together. In response, my government will put into action our plan to build a stronger economy, to create new trading relationships with reliable partners, and to secure our borders. To be clear, this will require change, big change. But I know that Canadians are ready. They tell me so across the country. People want change because they are worried. They are worried about the cost of living and the housing crisis. They are worried about the future of young people. And they are worried about Canada’s future, in the face of President Trump’s threats and a more divided and dangerous world. Now, I’m a pragmatist above all. And that means when I see something that’s not working, I’ll change it. So, my government will immediately eliminate the divisive consumer carbon tax on families, farmers, and small and medium-sized businesses. And we will stop the hike in the capital gains tax because we think builders should be incentivized for taking risks and rewarded when they succeed. Canada needs more of this type of change. Change that puts more money in people’s pockets. Change that makes our companies more competitive. Change that builds the strongest economy in the G7.
There’s someone who’s trying to weaken our economy. Donald Trump. Donald Trump has put unjustified tariffs on what we build, on what we sell, on how we earn a living. He’s attacking Canadian workers, families, and businesses. We can’t let him succeed and we won’t. I’m proud of the response of Canadians who are making their voices heard and their wallets felt. I’m grateful for how Canadian provinces are stepping up to the fight. Because when we’re united, we are Canada Strong. The Canadian government is rightly retaliating with our own tariffs that will have maximum impact in the United States and minimum impact here in Canada. My government will keep our tariffs on until the Americans show us respect … And make credible, reliable commitments to free and fair trade. In the meantime, we will ensure that all proceeds from our tariffs will be used to protect our workers.
The Americans want our resources, our water, our land, our country. Think about that for a moment. If they succeed, they will destroy our way of life. In America, healthcare is a big business. In Canada, it’s a right. America is a melting pot. Canada is a mosaic. America does not recognize differences. It does not recognize the First Nations. And there will never be rights to the French language. The joy of living, culture, and the French language are part of our identity. We must protect them; we must promote them. We will never, ever, trade them for any trade deal!
America is not Canada. And Canada never, ever, will be part of America in any way, shape, or form. We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves. So, Americans should make no mistake… In trade, as in hockey, Canada will win. But this victory will not be easy. We are facing the most significant crisis of our lives. We will have to do extraordinary things … together. We will have to build things we never imagined, at a pace we never thought possible. And above all, we must put people before money. We must unite, to build the strongest, fairest, and freest country in the world.
There’s someone else who will weaken our economy. It’s Pierre Poilievre. He just doesn’t get it. He’s that type of lifelong politician and I have seen them around the world, who worships at the altar of the free market, despite never having made a payroll. Now, in the face of Trump’s threats, Pierre Poilievre still refuses to get his security clearance. This, at a time when our national security is under threat as never before. He would undermine the Bank of Canada at a time of immense economic insecurity. Pierre Poilievre wants to shut down CBC and Radio-Canada at a time when disinformation and foreign interference are rising. He insults our mayors and ignores the First Nations when it’s time to build. He would end international aid while democracy and human rights are in peril around the world. And he would let our planet burn. Pierre Poilievre would let our planet burn. That’s not leadership, it’s ideology. It’s ideology that betrays what we as Canadians value… each other. And it is an ideology that represents a fundamental misunderstanding of how the economy works.
Unlike Pierre Poilievre, I have actually worked in the private sector. I know how the world works, and how it can be made to work better for us. That knowledge and experience is especially useful now in the service of Canadians, when we must build a new economy and create new trading relationships. Let me tell you something else that we know that Pierre Poilievre doesn’t: We know that markets don’t have values, people do. And we know, as Liberals, that it’s our job to make our markets work for all Canadians. Markets are the most powerful tool we have ever invented. They can help find solutions to our greatest problems. When markets are governed well, they deliver great jobs and strong growth better than anything. But markets are also indifferent to human suffering and are blind to our greatest needs. So, when they’re governed badly - or not at all - they’ll deliver enormous wealth for a lucky few and hard times for the rest. In this crisis, we need to help those who are hit hardest by the American tariffs and build our strength here at home. That’s the right thing to do. That’s the fair thing to do. That’s the Canadian thing to do. That’s what makes us strong.
Mark Carney criticizes Pierre Poilievre and Donald Trump during his first speech after being elected as Liberal leader.
Donald Trump thinks he can weaken us with his plan to divide and conquer. Pierre Poilievre’s plan will leave us divided and ready to be conquered. Because a person who worships at the altar of Donald Trump will kneel before him, not stand up to him. And Pierre Poilievre’s slogans aren’t solutions. His anger isn’t action. His division isn’t strength. Division won’t win a trade war. Division won’t pay the rent or the mortgage. Division won’t bring down the price of groceries. Division won’t make Canada Strong. This is where negative politics of division and anger lead. Half of the United States fears the other and distrusts them. We can’t let this happen in Canada. Americans are becoming more and more divided, which will weaken them. We will win this battle if we are united and strong. Yes, we can argue about politics. We can argue about hockey. We can even be an Oilers fan in Ottawa. It’s a free country. But when it comes to Canada, we’re all on the same team. Let’s choose to be strong. Canada strong.
I’ve learned from long experience that in a crisis, ‘plan beats no plan’, and that you need to first distinguish between what you can change and what you can’t change. We can’t change Donald Trump. We must understand what we can, and must change. We are masters in our own house. We can control our economic destiny with a plan that puts more money in your pockets. A plan that will ensure your government spends less so Canada can invest more. A plan that builds millions of homes. A plan that makes Canada an energy superpower. A plan that creates new trade corridors with reliable partners. A plan that creates one Canadian economy, not thirteen, because Canada is stronger when we are united. We can give ourselves far more than Donald Trump can ever take away. It will take extraordinary efforts. This won’t be business as usual. We will have to do things that we haven’t imagined before, at speeds we didn’t think possible. We will do it for the common good so that every Canadian benefits.
I care about the economy, not because I am an economist, but because I care about people. That’s why I am a Liberal, That’s why we’re Liberals. We know that the value of a strong economy begins with workers who have good jobs, well paid today, and brighter futures for the youth of tomorrow. We know, as Liberals, that we cannot redistribute what we don’t have. We know that we cannot be strong abroad if we are weak at home, and we know that we cannot build a better future if we can’t manage the present. So, when we’re fighting for a strong economy, we’re fighting for: Good Canadian health care for everyone; strong support for our seniors, who built this country; childcare for young, hardworking families; dental care and pharmacare for everyone who needs it. We’re fighting for a strong economy, so we can create a more sustainable world for our children and grandchildren, and we will deliver.
I know these are dark days. Dark days brought on by a country we can no longer trust. We’re getting over the shock, but let us never forget the lessons: We have to look after ourselves and we have to look out for each other. We need to pull together in the tough days ahead.
To the families watching this evening in Fort Smith, in Edmonton, and in every community across Canada, I promise you this: Together, we can—and will—get through this crisis. We can—and will—come out of it stronger than ever because Canada is built on the strength of its people. From our mines to our ports; from our logging roads to our city streets, we’re strongest, when we’re united. When we’re one economy, not thirteen. When we can cheer for different teams, and still be one team when it counts. When we come together, we build things that last. Because we are Canada Strong.
Who is Mark Carney, the next prime minister of Canada?
TORONTO (AP) — Former central banker Mark Carney will become Canada’s next prime minister after a Liberal Party leadership vote in a landslide.
Carney is 59. He was born in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, on March 16, 1965, and raised in Edmonton, Alberta.
Credentials
Carney ran the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013 and the Bank of England from 2013 to 2020. After helping Canada manage the worst impacts of the 2008 financial crisis, he was recruited to become the first non-Brit to run the Bank of England since it was founded in 1694.
In 2020, he began serving as the United Nations’ special envoy for climate action and finance.
Carney is a former Goldman Sachs executive. He worked for 13 years in London, Tokyo, New York and Toronto, before being appointed deputy governor of the Bank of Canada in 2003. He has no experience in politics.
Education
Carney received a bachelor’s degree in economics from Harvard University in 1988, and master’s and doctoral degrees in economics from Oxford University. Like many Canadians, he played ice hockey, serving as a backup goalie for Harvard.
Citizenship
Carney has Canadian, U.K. and Irish citizenship. He has moved to eventually have solely Canadian citizenship, which is not required by law but seen as politically wise.
Family
His wife Diana is British-born and he has four daughters.
Polls
His chances of remaining prime minister for more than a few weeks seem to be improving. In a mid-January poll by Nanos, the Liberals trailed the opposition Conservatives and their leader Pierre Poilievre 47% to 20%. This week the latest poll has Liberals at 34% and the Conservatives at 37%.
