Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to call a federal election by Sunday, after being sworn into office last week.
And he’s had a busy week. Between announcing that he’ll be cutting the consumer price on carbon and introducing a leaner cabinet, he took his first trip as prime minister, travelling to Paris, London, and Iqaluit.
But why hasn’t Carney’s tour included a trip south of the border, when trade tensions with the U.S. look to define Canada’s upcoming election?
The Globe’s senior reporter Stephanie Levitz has been trailing the new prime minister. Today, she joins the show to talk about his meetings with international leaders, and what we’ve learned about the former central banker since he stepped foot into the prime minister’s office a week ago.
