Liberal leadership hopeful Mark Carney secured three more endorsements from cabinet on Saturday, with Defence Minister Bill Blair and Transport Minister Anita Anand backing Carney in statements on X and Housing Minister Nate Erskine-Smith hosting an event for the candidate in Toronto.
Blair said in his statement that Canadians are worried about threats they’re hearing from the U.S., a reference to ongoing promises of tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump. He said Carney, a former Bank of Canada governor, has “experience and a proven track record in navigating economies through tough times.”
