Amid Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s calls for a “carbon tax election”, two leading Liberal leadership candidates are dropping the Trudeau policy.

Less than five weeks after she resigned her cabinet seat over a dispute with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Chrystia Freeland has launched her campaign to replace him as the leader of the Liberal party.

Canada’s ruling Liberal Party is searching for a new leader following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's announcement on January 6 that he will step down.

Former Canadian finance minister Chrystia Freeland is running to be the next leader of the Liberal Party and Prime Minister of Canada.

The ball is in Chrystia Freeland's court, now that Mark Carney has officially launched his campaign to become the next Liberal leader.

Newfoundland and Labrador Liberal MP Ken McDonald said he personally credits Freeland for reversing the decision to impose the carbon tax on home heating fuel, which mostly affected Atlantic Canadians and was widely seen as a blow to the carbon tax policy.

Former central banker Mark Carney kicked off his bid to replace Justin Trudeau as the head of Canada’s Liberal Party and the country’s prime minister, saying he has the experience to manage a crisis and to deal with Donald Trump’s protectionism.

A new poll suggests that Liberal supporters prefer Mark Carney as their next leader over a field of potential candidates.
