  • Former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney announced on Thursday that he was running to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as leader of the ruling Liberal Party, saying he wanted to focus on the struggling economy.

Mark Carney, the former Governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, has entered the race to potentially succeed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2025. Carney, who has been a prominent figure in global finance, announced his interest in leading the Liberal Party, emphasizing his commitment to addressing climate change, economic inequality, and fostering sustainable economic growth. His entry into politics comes at a time when Trudeau's popularity has been waning, and the Liberal Party is looking for a fresh face to rejuvenate its image. Carney's background in economics and his international experience are seen as assets that could appeal to voters looking for a leader with a strong grasp of both domestic and global issues. However, his lack of political experience might be a point of contention among party members and the electorate.
