Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly's name is not the only one that comes up in chatter about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s eventual replacement. It’s rarely the first one, either. | Adrian Wyld/The Canadian PressOTTAWA, Ont. — Mélanie Joly’s political resume is longer than you might think — student activist leader, out-of-the-blue candidate who nearly became a big-city mayor and now Canada’s face on the world stage.
Mélanie Joly may not be not the obvious choice to lead the Liberals, but then neither was Justin Trudeau. | Georg Wendt/Getty Images Prospect lists usually include Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, Defense Minister Anita Anand, Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne and former central banker Mark Carney.
“I said to him, ‘Listen, I can’t, I’m in municipal politics. … He would periodically call me to say, ‘Mélanie you need to run, we want you to run.’”Even in those days, the Liberal leader’s job was in the back of her mind, a confidant and former colleague of Joly’s told Maclean’s in. “It’s not for this moment, but she’s never hidden that she’s interested in being the leader of the Liberal party,” Stéphanie Raymond-Bougie said.
Frank McKenna, a former New Brunswick premier and regular counselor to Joly, told POLITICO “she clearly has the gravitas and the energy” to be a prime minister.
