Prime Minister Mark Carney has quietly installed Marc-André Blanchard as his chief of staff — a shadowy Trudeau-era insider who’s wielded influence over the makeup of cabinet since former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s rise to power in 2015.

Canada’s former representative to the United Nations will officially take over the top role in the Prime Minister’s Office in July, replacing former Liberal MP Marco Mendicino, who is stepping down as Carney’s interim chief of staff and is widely expected to run for Toronto mayor in 2026.
