Canada's governing Liberal Party is set to reveal the country's next prime minister on March 9 following the recent resignation of Justin Trudeau. Trudeau will continue to serve as prime minister until his successor is chosen.
The leading contenders for the Liberal leadership are former central banker Mark Carney and ex-Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland. The upcoming leadership vote is crucial as the next prime minister will face challenges such as ongoing trade tensions with the United States and a potential vote of no confidence from opposition parties.
