  • Mark Carney's path to the top job in Canadian politics has been unusual but, as he said when he launched his campaign to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, so are the circumstances.

Mark Carney, the former Governor of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada, is being considered as a potential future Prime Minister of Canada, charting an unusual path to political power.
