Mark Carney is considering a run at the leadership of the federal Liberal Party .

Carney, now 59 , is thinking about taking up politics after a long and successful career as an investment banker, civil servant, and central bank governor.

Carney has spoken to dozens ’ of Liberal MPs over the Christmas break but declined to identify those MPs.

Carney argues he can be a change’ candidate — that he represents a clear break from the existing Trudeau government.

That claim is already being challenged by Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives , who have peppered social media accounts with posts that claim Trudeau and Carney are one and the same.

The source said Carney has taken pains not to seem as if he is pushing the incumbent, Justin Trudeau , out of the job.
