Mark Carney, former governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, has become a Canadian citizen, marking a formalization of his long-standing ties to the country. While holding dual citizenship with the UK and Ireland, his acquisition of Canadian citizenship is viewed by some as a potential step towards entering Canadian politics. Carney, who served as governor of the Bank of Canada from 2008 to 2013, is highly regarded for his economic expertise and leadership during the 2008 financial crisis. His subsequent tenure as governor of the Bank of England further solidified his global reputation. Despite residing primarily outside of Canada for much of his career, he has maintained strong connections and regularly commented on Canadian economic and social issues. The article highlights that Carney has consistently downplayed suggestions of a political career, focusing instead on his roles in finance and advocating for sustainable investing. However, speculation persists, fueled by his high profile and expertise, particularly within the Liberal party. His views align with those of the current government on climate change and economic policy, which further fuels the possibility of him entering politics in the future. The timing of his citizenship application is also significant, coinciding with growing leadership questions within the Liberal party. find the original article here: https://www.yahoo.com/news/canadas-carney-becomes-latest-foreign-222217298.html
