Liberal Party members have chosen former central banker Mark Carney to be their new leader and the next prime minister of Canada.

Carney secured enough votes in the first round of voting to win the job, party president Sachit Mehra announced.

Entirely expected, but still a relief. He is the most likely Liberal candidate to potentially take a win from the Cons or at least take away a majority from them.

Explains why Conservative attack ads have been so focused on Carney lately. They're scared!

Extremely.

A lot of polls put the Cons ahead of the Liberals by a few points, but trailing if Carney was leader.
