Carney, 59, kicked off his campaign to take the reins of the governing party at the Edmonton-area hockey rink where he learned to skate as a boy while growing up on the Prairies.

“I’m doing this because Canada is the best country in the world, but it still could be even better,” Carney said.

The Harvard-educated Carney said he has the economic bona fides needed to steer Canada through a period of uncertainty as the country stares down president-elect Donald Trump and the threat of punishing tariffs on all our goods.

Carney said Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is the “worst possible” choice to put on the other side of the negotiating table with Trump.

    The question is does he support mixed member proportional representation or he is going to be a typical rich guy trying to keep everyone else down.

      Has he ever said anything on that? I can’t find anything obvious. I’m guessing he’s not gonna broach the subject unless he’s ready to actually execute. I don’t think he’ll say anything about it during the campaign as it’ll trigger people’s 2015 election reform grief.
