Former central banker Mark Carney looks set to become Canada’s next prime minister after the governing Liberals announce a replacement for Justin Trudeau on Sunday

Mark Carney, 59, could become the next prime minister when the governing Liberal Party of Canada announces a replacement for Justin Trudeau in a leadership vote Sunday.

Frontrunners include Chrystia Freeland and Mark Carney, who are making the case they can guide Canada through domestic and international issues. At the top of the list: mounting trade tensions with the United States.

Canada's ruling Liberal party is moving on from a decade dominated by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by capitalizing on a wave of patriotism and adopting policies designed to appeal to conservative-leaning voters turned off by U.

The Liberal Party of Canada will announce its new leader — and Canada's next prime minister — Sunday evening after a six-week sprint following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's announcement that he plans to step down from his role once his successor is chosen.
