Chrystia Freeland announced that she will be running to be leader of the Liberal Party and Prime Minister of Canada. In a social media post, she said she is “running to fight for Canada,” and will be officially launching her campaign on Sunday.
With this announcement, the main contest in the Liberal leadership race is set to be between Freeland and Mark Carney. Carney announced alongside supporters in Edmonton on Thursday that he plans to run for the Liberal leadership.
While Freeland is a former finance minister and deputy prime minister, Carney is a former governor of the Bank of Canada and an economist.
Government House leader Karina Gould is expected to launch her campaign in the coming days.
Potential candidates have less than a week left to decide if they will enter the race.
