A former central banker and political rookie, Carney, 60, won the Liberal leadership this month and was sworn in as prime minister on March 14. The election will pit him against Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, 45, a populist firebrand who until recently held a commanding lead in the polls.
The campaign follows domestic political upheaval. In January, Justin Trudeau — whose approval ratings had long been careening — announced he would step down as Liberal leader and prime minister, amid a caucus mutiny set in motion by the abrupt resignation of his deputy prime minister from his cabinet.
It also comes at a time of great anxiety here as Canada’s bond with the United States, a NATO ally and its largest trading partner, is rupturing — with profound consequences for the country’s economy, society and place in the world.
