Unlike Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland, Karina Gould is not running for prime minister of Canada — at least according to her launch video. She has limited her declared ambition to becoming the next leader of the Liberal party of Canada: “We need to rebuild our party so that we can rebuild our country.”
While her opponents are running to beat the Conservatives — or at least to save the furniture — Gould appears to have no illusions. Should she inherit the party, it will be akin to moving into an unfurnished apartment during an affordability crisis, with a low bank balance to cover expenses.
