Carney Hints at Run to Lead Canada's Liberals
The Wall Street Journal|January 15, 2025
Since Justin Trudeau said he would resign as prime minister, one Canadian politician after another has looked at running to lead the Liberal Party into new elections that polls show it will lose badly and said: "Not me."

Carney Hints at Run to Lead Canada's Liberals
