We'll have to wait and see. Could still be a long time until an election.

Well, it's October at the latest. Any new leader will want the longest run up possible.
Carney has had two positions with the present government/Liberal party - he unofficially helped with pandemic economic response (which IMO was successful) and in Sept. of 24 was named chair of a party task force on economic growth (which hardly can be tied to present outcomes given the timing).
The guy is incredibly well regarded by actual businesspeople - Bloomberg appointed him as chair of Bloomberg Lp in 2023.
