Who is Mark Carney? Canada’s prime minister fighting for re-election in Trump’s shadow - Carney has promised to stand up for his country amid trade war with the US president

Mark Carney, former governor of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada, is Canada's incumbent prime minister. After his swearing-in last month, he called a snap election. He is facing off against Pierre Poilievre's Conservative Party.

The Conservative Party chipped away at the lead held by Mark Carney’s Liberals in the final days of Canada’s election campaign, though surveys still point to a probable Liberal victory in Monday’s vote.
