"Shortly after the election was called, Senack was barred from a campaign event because it was "pool coverage only"-meaning only select journalists were given access to the PM. "I said to his team that I didn't think this was a good idea," Senack says. He writes for residents who would be voting in his riding. "We should probably have a good relationship." Two hours later, the PM's office called to apologize. "I'm, like, if you want to make it right, you're going to have to give me an interview with Mark Carney," he says."
"But behind that reluctance was a résumé that suggested she would have plenty to say. An alumna of the University of Oxford-where she met the future PM-Fox Carney studied philosophy, politics, and economics. She holds a master's degree in agricultural economics from Oxford and another master's, in international relations, from the University of Pennsylvania. She's also widely respected as an expert on global climate and energy policy."
Diana Fox Carney granted exactly one interview after becoming Canada's "first lady" in March. The ten-minute, in-person conversation occurred on April 27 with journalist Charlie Senack, who covers the Nepean/Barrhaven area. Senack was initially barred from a campaign event due to "pool coverage only," prompting an apology and his request for access to the prime minister; the interview with Mark Carney did not occur. Fox Carney agreed to a single sit-down despite reported reluctance. She studied PPE at Oxford, holds a master's in agricultural economics from Oxford and a master's in international relations from the University of Pennsylvania, and is respected for expertise in global climate and energy policy.
