CANADA: Politics Week: Carney Poised To Win Liberal Leadership Race

CANADA
Homepagemarkets-real-timeCanadaPolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletMarketsFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsNorth America
  • Mark Carney kept momentum as the leading candidate during Liberal leadership debates this week. Rivals seemed more focused on party unity than attacking Carney ahead of an election later this year. The winner of the March 9 vote takes over from Justin Trudeau as prime minister.
  • Carney reiterated he may call an election before Parliament resumes March 24, depending in part on the situation around tariff threats. He pledged "dollar for dollar" retaliation and won't negotiate around language, culture and water and would protect farmer "supply management." Those are priorities in Quebec, key to Liberal election fortunes.
  • Recent polls suggest Liberals/Carney are closing the polling gap with Conservatives as focus shifts to a trade war.
  • Election is due in October under a traditional four-year mandate. Opposition parties have signaled they will combine to pass a non-confidence motion as soon as possible to force an early campaign.
  • Ontario, Canada's richest and most populous province, is likely tonight to re-elect Progressive Conservative Doug Ford. He called a snap election pledging a fight against tariffs including cutting off electricity shipments.
  • Sample headlines: No one rained on Carney’s parade, and now, he’s set to be our next prime minister (Globe).
