I'm Neil Herland. Federal liberals have voted overwhelmingly for Mark Carney to take over as their new leader.

The former governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England will replace Justin Trudeau and be sworn in as prime minister in the coming days. As Tom Perry reports, he will lead the Liberal Party into an election that must happen by October but is expected much sooner. I will work day and night with one purpose, which is to build a stronger Canada for everyone. For Mark Carney, it's a resounding win. The former bank governor took more than 85% of the vote in the Liberal leadership race,

more than 10 times the support of the second place finisher, former Deputy Prime Minister Christia Freeland. This is a strong, clear result for the Liberal Party. Mark has a very clear mandate. Freeland offered Carney her full backing, as did the other two contenders in the race, former government house leader, Karina Gould, and businessman and former MP, Frank Bayless. In his acceptance speech, Carney vowed to strengthen the economy and continue the federal government's campaign against U.S. President Donald Trump and his trade war.

In trade, as in hockey, Canada will win. Tom Perry, CBC News, Ottawa. The outgoing prime minister also spoke at the Liberal Leadership Convention, and Justin Trudeau gave a farewell speech. I have done my level best each and every single day to help build a country that stays worthy of all Canadians. I've done it for Xavier, for Ella Grace and Hadrian.

And I've done it for your kids too. I've done it for your kids too. I've done it with you. And although you'll always find me alongside you cheering along, their future and your future is now in your hands. Trudeau won three elections starting in 2015, but he only won minority governments in 2019 and 2021. Conservative leader Pierre Poliev is criticizing Mark Carney by trying to link him to the Trudeau Liberals. Poliev spoke at a rally in London, Ontario, just before the Liberals elected

their new leader. They're going to try to get elected for a fourth term. By a fourth term by replacing Justin Trudeau with his economic advisor, Mark Carney. Carney's advice drove up taxes, housing costs, and food prices. In 2007, the Harper conservative government appointed Mark Carney to lead Canada's central bank, but Harper recently tried to downplay Carney's role as a financial advisor to his government. And finally, in sports, Brad Jacobs from Alberta is the winner of this year's Canadian Men's Curling Championship. The Montana's Briar was held in Kelowna,

BC last night. The CBC's Devin Haru was there. Fred Jacobs is a Briar champion once again, 12 years after he won his first title in 2013. It was a bit of a slow start in the Briar final team Jacobs taking on Manitoba's Matt Dunstone the first four ends Blank so in the fifth end Matt Dunstone scoring to that got things started back and forth They went until the final end It was Jacobs trailing three to two with the hammer He made a takeout to score three to secure victory in the final end. So Team Jacobs is now Team Canada for the Men's World Curling Championship

set to take place in Moosejaw, Saskatchewan. Later this month for Jacobs, it's a sweet victory. He says he can't wait to wear the maple leaf once again. The last time he did it, he won gold for Canada at the 2014 Olympics. For CBC Sports in Kelowna, I'm Devin Heroux. And that is your World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Neal Herland.
