Former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney officially entered the race for leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada on Thursday in hopes of succeeding Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
-Mr Carney, who also served as governor of the Bank of England, has positioned himself as a centrist candidate whose main aim will be to recover the economy
of the country.
“If there is one thing to remember from my speech today, it is that I will be entirely focused on the need to get our economy back on track,” he announced in a speech mixing English and French that seemed scripted and hesitant.
If you’re wondering why I could succeed where others can’t, remember that I’ve had to manage many crises and helped save the economies of two countries
he added, referring to his roles in Canada and the United Kingdom.
I learned to be responsible and fair and to stay humble […] and to never, ever give up.
More details to come.
