The former central banker positions himself as a political outsider while addressing economic challenges and Trump's tariff threats.

Mark Carney, former governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, strongly hinted at a Liberal leadership run during an appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Carney characterized himself as a political outsider with extensive economic experience, contrasting himself with career politicians like Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
He criticized the current Liberal government for insufficient focus on economic issues like housing affordability and inflation, calling for immediate action on these challenges.
Carney addressed President-elect Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, advocating for preparation and strategic responses to mitigate economic fallout.
