Mark Carney may enter the race to succeed Justin Trudeau as leader of Canada’s Liberal Party. He came to prominence in Britain as the man hand-picked by George Osborne to be governor of the Bank of England in 2013.
His tenure at the Bank became better known for his failed attempts to persuade Britons not to vote to leave the European Union in the 2016 referendum. But while he failed to stop Brexit, he now hopes to be the man who can step in and prevent populists from taking control in Canada.
