OTTAWA – Prime Minister Mark Carney has been chosen as The Canadian Press Newsmaker of the Year in an annual survey of newsroom leaders and editors from across the country.
Survey respondents say the former central banker was chosen because he led the Liberals to a general election victory after multiple polls indicated the party was set to be wiped out by the Conservatives.
Since then, Carney has been a regular fixture in national headlines due in part to the ongoing trade war with the United States that helped reverse the Liberals’ political decline.
Carney was chosen as Newsmaker of the Year by 72 of the 95 survey respondents.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the Toronto Blue Jays star, came in second thanks to his role in rallying the country around the team during its World Series run.
Striking workers rounded out the top three choices for Newsmaker of the Year, after high-profile labour disputes involving Air Canada flight attendants, Alberta teachers and Canada Post workers made many headlines in 2025.
