In his latest column for CTVNews.ca, former NDP leader Tom Mulcair argues that if there's an unofficial frontrunner in the eventual race to replace Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader, it has to be former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney.

Having recently signed generous collective agreements with the major public sector unions, one could have expected Trudeau’s Liberal government to be given a bit of a break, but just the opposite happened.

There’s an old rule in politics, when your opponent is busy beating himself up, do nothing to interfere. Poilievre seems to have internalized that rule very well. One newcomer, Anna Gainey , has an important draw for an upcoming event that she’ll be hosting: Mark Carney. Sure, there are other really experienced and talented people who’d no doubt try for the brass ring, Chrystia Freeland first among them. But she, like Anita Anand and Dominic LeBlanc and any other cabinet minister, will have to carry the full weight of the Trudeau years in any election campaign and that is a very heavy burden to shoulder.

I knew the aloof Ignatieff and I know Carney, and they have nothing in common. I was able to invite Carney twice to the Université de Montréal where I’ve been teaching since I left politics. One of the events was a major keynote, the other a lecture to graduate students on issues of resource development and sustainability. He was engaging and generous and he shone at both.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau testified Wednesday before the national public inquiry into foreign interference in Canada's electoral processes, following a day of testimony from top cabinet ministers about allegations of meddling in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections. Recap all the prime minister had to say.
