Mark Carney, a former governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, will begin his campaign in his hometown of Edmonton to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday, said the sources, one of them close to the campaign.
Trudeau announced last week he would step down as prime minister and Liberal leader once the party chooses his successor.
Carney addressed Trudeau's departure in an appearance on the American TV program "The Daily Show" on Monday night.
"I think it does give the Liberal party a chance," Carney said when asked directly by host Jon Stewart in an interview with "The Daily Show" on Monday night.
While he was pressed several times by Stewart whether he would run to be the next Liberal leader, Carney would not answer directly.
"I just started thinking about it," he said, with Stewart later joking to him that "you're being so coy with me. I love the chase."
