Mark Carney addresses Liberal convention

Carney's leadership is facing its first major electoral test in the upcoming Terrebonne by-election, a crucial rematch against the Bloc Québécois.

The Prime Minister has been criticized for high government spending, including reports that he spent half a million dollars on plane food during his first year.

Despite the backlash, Carney remains focused on a 'northern trade corridor' and has planned meetings with provincial premiers to discuss the project.

The convention also saw the party adopt a controversial motion to ban children under 16 from social media.
