TORONTO -- Mark Carney's political career is only months old, and it's already been a roller-coaster ride. The former central banker appeared destined to become one of Canada's shortest-serving prime ministers until President Donald Trump picked a fight with the U.S.'s northern neighbor.

Posts across social platforms claim Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said American voters who put US President Donald Trump back in office caused "generations-long damage" and received "essentially nothing of value" in return.

Canadians head to the polls next Monday with many expressing concern that the country is at a turning point as it faces an unprecedented crisis with its US neighbour.
