OTTAWA - Former central banker Mark Carney came out of the political closet Friday, pledging his support for the federal Liberal party.
But the former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England left Liberals guessing whether he ll actually run for the governing party in the next election.
âTo me, humility means recognizing the great good fortune that I ve had growing up and the responsibility of service that comes with that,â Carney told Liberals at their virtual convention.
To me, humility means recognizing the great good fortune that I ve had growing up and the responsibility of service that comes with that, Carney told Liberals at their virtual convention. And that s why I ll do whatever I can to support the Liberal party in our efforts to build a better future for Canadians.
He did not say whether that means running as a Liberal candidate. Rookie Toronto MP and convention co-chair Marci Ien, who posed questions to Carney after his speech, didn t ask. There was no opportunity for journalists to pose questions after the event.
However, the live chat forum on the convention website was instantly flooded with Liberals, who ve long dreamed of Carney as a potential leader one day, urging him to take the next step.
