Colin Robertson: 我在90年代初认识马克·卡尼，当时他来到渥太华在财政部工作。他是一位聪明、自信、具有公共服务精神的领导者。他著书立说，关注气候和经济问题，我认为他是可以信赖的人选。虽然他缺乏魅力，但他注重经济增长，这是加拿大目前所需。 他曾在加拿大和英国担任央行行长，与美国政商界人士有广泛联系。他了解美国，这将有助于处理加美关系。虽然特朗普总统曾对加拿大采取不友好的行动，但我相信卡尼会与特朗普政府进行沟通，并为加拿大争取利益。 加拿大与美国有着长期而紧密的联系，这体现在历史、军事和经济等多个方面。然而，我们也正在探索贸易多元化等选项，以应对与美国关系的不确定性。我们希望维持与美国的安全贸易关系，并正在努力提醒美国双方互惠互利的紧密联系。 尽管加拿大与美国的地理位置紧密相连，但我们也在探索其他能源供应选择，例如建设通往东海岸的管道。许多美国人认为特朗普政府对加拿大的政策是错误的，这让我感到欣慰。

Shownotes Transcript

Mark Carney once lead the central bank of Canada and then was tapped to do the same job in England. So he knows a lot about government and finance but he has never held elected office. This weekend he was elected to be head of Canada's Liberal Party which means he'll soon be prime minister. We learn more about the man who takes the job at a time of strained relations with the U.S. And the Palestinian city of Nablus, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, is so renowned for it's soap that the process of making it has been listed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. We go to one of the oldest soap factories there.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices)NPR Privacy Policy)
