OTTAWA - Former central banker Mark Carney came out of the political closet Friday, pledging his support for the federal Liberal party. “To me, humility means recognizing the great good fortune that I’ve had growing up and the responsibility of service that comes with that,” Carney told Liberals at their virtual convention. “And that’s why I’ll do whatever I can to support the Liberal party in our efforts to build a better future for Canadians.”He did not say whether that means running as a Liberal candidate. Rookie Toronto MP and convention co-chair Marci Ien, who posed questions to Carney after his speech, didn’t ask. He characterized Carney’s convention debut as simply a matter of Liberals tapping his expertise on economic policy and on climate change.
