Mark Carney is a newcomer to elected politics with decades of experience in finance. After his landslide victory, he pledged to continue tariffs on the U.S. "until the Americans show us respect."

He is a card-carrying member of the global technocratic elite, and he has led not one but two central banks—Britain’s and Canada’s. And he’s a regular at Davos.
