Thanks to Donald Trump, Canada's Liberal Party suddenly looks competitive in the upcoming federal election

The late Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was fond of an old saying: There’s nothing like a hanging in the morning to focus the mind.

The Trump trade war has Canadians focusing on their country’s leadership. It appears the governing Liberal Party will accomplish the most complicated operation in a parliamentary democracy, the total head transplant.

With the coming departure of PM Justin Trudeau, the Liberals have found a new star —two in fact. The favorite is Mark Carney, 59, a Harvard and Oxford trained economist and former governor of both the Bank of Canada and Bank of England.

He has championed a “growth agenda” and promised to scrap Trudeau’s unpopular pollution tax.
