Former Bank of England and Bank of Canada governor, Mark Carney, has officially launched his campaign to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as the leader of Canada’s Liberal Party. Carney, who recently stepped down from his role at Brookfield Asset Management, portrayed himself as a political outsider and crisis manager during his campaign launch in Alberta. As a frontrunner in the leadership race, he emphasizes the need for a stronger economy and aims to unite the party, despite many Canadians being unfamiliar with him. As endorsements begin to flow in, Carney faces competition, notably from fellow candidate Chrystia Freeland, as the Liberal leadership battle heats up.
