Prediction‑market data from Kalshi gave Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney a 14% chance of winning the Nobel Peace Prize, according to a report by Covers cited by the Independent on September 29, 2026.
The odds were calculated ahead of the October 9 Nobel announcement, with Carney leading humanitarian groups Doctors Without Borders and Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms in the market’s ranking.
Carney has criticised recent U.S. trade measures, calling restrictions on Canada’s ability to negotiate deals “unacceptable” and a matter of sovereignty, a stance reported by the Associated Press and echoed in the Independent article.
He also received a standing ovation for a January speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he rebuked U.S. tariff threats linked to a proposed Greenland acquisition.
