Former central banker Mark Carney will launch his bid to lead the Liberal party in Edmonton on Thursday, says a news release from Calgary Liberal MP George Chahal.
In a note to supporters inviting them to attend the event, Chahal describes Carney as “not a career politician.”
“In an era of global challenges, in a time of economic opportunity, Mark Carney has the experience required and the leadership skills needed to meet those challenges and take advantage of the opportunities,” Chahal’s email said.
Candidates only have about a week left to declare that they will run.
Former finance minister Chrystia Freeland and current cabinet minister Karina Gould are also expected to launch their leadership bids in the coming days….
