At a campaign event in Edmonton, Carney positioned himself as an outsider, emphasizing his commitment to economic reform and climate action. He criticized Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, labeling him a “dangerous, sloganeering populist,” and underscored the need for effective economic policies to address Canada’s challenges.
Carney’s entry into the leadership race adds significant competition, with former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland also vying for the position. The Liberal Party is currently trailing the Conservative Party in public opinion polls, and the new leader will be pivotal in shaping the party’s future direction.
The leadership election is scheduled for March 9, 2025, with the new leader expected to assume the role of Prime Minister following Justin Trudeau’s resignation.
