Mark Carney will go head-to-head with Pierre Poilievre and Canada’s other political leaders in a general election debate tonight.

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney doesn’t come from politics. He comes from power. Real power. The kind that moves markets, not crowds. This is a man who ran two G7 central banks—the only living person to do that.

Carney, a Harvard-educated technocrat two months into his political career, has capitalized on his image as a steady hand at the tiller in an economic storm.
