With your support, Mark is ready to build the fastest-growing economy in the G7, put money back into Canadians’ pockets, invest in health care, seniors and affordable child care, and stand up for Canadians against the Americans.
Friend, meet LPC’s new leader: Mark Carney.
Mark was born in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories, and raised in Edmonton, Alberta. Both of his parents were teachers. Growing up, he played hockey as a goalie for Laurier Heights, went to St. Francis Xavier high school, and won a scholarship to study in the United States.
He started his career in finance before joining Canada’s public service, to help ensure our economy supports the things that Canadians value – like healthcare, security, and a life you can afford.
As Governor of the Bank of Canada during the 2008 financial crisis, Mark guided Canada through one of the most turbulent economic periods in modern history, protecting jobs and helping ensure that Canada came out stronger.
In 2013, he was recruited to lead the Bank of England, stewarding the United Kingdom’s economy through Brexit and the economic and political crises that followed. And in 2020, he began serving as the UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance – helping rally the world to build stronger economies as we fight climate change.
With your support, Mark is ready to build the fastest-growing economy in the G7, put money back into Canadians’ pockets, invest in health care, seniors and affordable child care, and stand up for Canadians against the Americans.
