Mark Carney announced his bid for the leadership of the Canadian Liberal Party, claiming to be an outsider to the Trudeau government

Gold 10 Data January 17th news, 59-year-old Mark Carney announced on Thursday that he will run for the position of the leader of the Liberal Party and seek to succeed the current Prime Minister Trudeau. Carney said he hopes to focus on the troubled economy and position himself as an outsider to the Trudeau government. However, the opposition Conservative Party stated that there is no difference between Carney and Trudeau. ‘As a long-term insider of the Liberal Party, Carney has been serving as an advisor to Trudeau as early as 2020. He is definitely not an outsider.’ Carney’s main competitor seems to be former finance minister Freeland, who resigned last month due to policy differences. The new prime minister is unlikely to stay in office for long, and the minority government may be overturned in parliament as early as the end of March, triggering a general election. Polls show that the Conservative Party will win the election. In 2007, Carney served as the president of the Central Bank of Canada and in 2013, he served as the president of the Central Bank of England, becoming the first person to simultaneously lead the two major central banks.
