The former Bank of England and Bank of Canada governor says he is considering running for leader of Canada’s Liberal Party and prime minister.

Mark Carney is ready to launch his campaign to replace Justin Trudeau as Liberal leader and prime minister of Canada. Carney, a banker comfortable with the Davos set, showed up on “The Daily Show ” Monday night, casting himself as an “outsider.”

Justin Trudeau has announced he will step down after nine years as Canadian prime minister in the face of a mounting set of crises, but stay in office until a replacement party leader is chosen.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will hold a cabinet retreat on Jan. 20-21 focused on defending his country's interests and boosting ties with the U.S., his office said in a statement on Tuesday.

The premiers will gather in Ottawa Wednesday to meet with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and discuss the looming threat that has the potential to throw the economy into a tailspin: president-elect Donald Trump's promised tariffs on all Canadian goods.
