Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly says she will endorse former central banker Mark Carney to be Liberal Party leader.

Joly said Carney is best positioned to defeat opposition Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre .

Carney helped Canada dodge the worst of the 2008 crisis while heading the country’s central bank.

Chrystia Freeland begins her campaign Sunday to replace Justin Trudeau , who remains prime minister.
