OTTAWA — Former finance minister Chrystia Freeland endured more than a dozen disruptions to her Liberal leadership launch speech on Sunday as protesters shouted her down and banged on a door at the Toronto venue.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly has endorsed Mark Carney in the race for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada, arguing the former governor of the Bank of Canada has a "clear vision" for the future.

Former deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland has launched her bid to be the next federal Liberal leader while staring down multiple hecklers. Freeland’s speech in Toronto to launch her candidacy for party leadership was interrupted several times by protesters with at least one banner and a flag related to Gaza.

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly is endorsing Mark Carney for Liberal leader, the first major endorsement from Quebec in the race.

The race to succeed Justin Trudeau as Canada’s prime minister is increasingly looking like a two-way battle between former finance minister Chrystia Freeland and ex-central banker Mark Carney.

The federal Liberals will announce a new leader on March 9, the party announced late Thursday, giving potential candidates just two weeks to decide to run and potential voters less than three weeks to join the party in order to vote.
