TORONTO (AP) — Former central banker Mark Carney will become Canada’s next prime minister after a Liberal Party leadership vote in a landslide. Carney is 59. He was born in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories on March 16, 1965 and raised in Edmonton, Alberta.

Political analysts and Liberal Party members expect Carney to call a national election shortly after taking power, to take advantage of polling momentum that suggests the governing Liberals and the Conservative Party are in a statistical tie.
