The Liberal Party will choose a new leader to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on March 9. New rules will limit voting to Canadian citizens and permanent residents, addressing concerns about foreign interference. Candidates must raise $350,000 to enter the race, significantly higher than previous contests. The deadline for new member sign-ups is January 27. So far, only two candidates have officially declared: MP Chandra Arya and former MP Frank Baylis. Other potential candidates include notable figures like Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland.
