Former central banker Mark Carney is poised to announce that he’s jumping into the race to succeed Justin Trudeau as leader of the Liberal Party and Canadian prime minister.
Brian Platt and Thomas Seal, Bloomberg NewsPolitical analyst Lori Turnbull weighs in on reports that Mark Carney is considering running in a potential Liberal leadership race.
The former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England will likely be up against former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and ex-British Columbia Premier Christy Clark, both of whom are contemplating a run. Whoever ends up leading Canada will face Donald Trump as he threatens 25% tariffs and “economic force” against the US’s northern neighbor, its partner for some $2.7 billion per day in trade.
He currently holds a range of corporate and nonprofit roles, including as chair of Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. and Bloomberg Inc. and special envoy on climate action and finance for the United Nations. He didn’t immediately respond to emails requesting comment.
