Liberal Leadership Candidate Carney Says He Should Have Been More ‘Precise’ Over Brookfield Move

Liberal leadership contender Mark Carney has said he should have been more “precise” in his answer about whether he played a role in the decision to move Brookfield headquarters from Canada to New York.

Carney came under scrutiny by the Conservative Party following his claim that the decision to move Brookfield headquarters was made after he had no role with the company.

Mark Carney says he’s begun the process of renouncing Irish, U.K. citizenship

Liberal leadership hopeful Mark Carney says he’s written to the British and Irish governments to begin the process of renouncing his citizenship in both countries, leaving him solely with Canadian citizenship if the process is completed.

At a leadership event in Oakville, Ont., on Friday night, Carney told reporters his belief is that as prime minister, he should hold only one citizenship.

CMHC says housing crisis relief could take 30 years

Wartime Houses

Canada’s housing affordability crisis may persist until 2055 due to lengthy planning and approval processes, according to a new report from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).

Blacklock’s Reporter says the federal insurer’s research found that obtaining municipal permits and completing planning takes twice as long as the actual construction of apartment buildings and townhouse developments.

The scandal that could ruin Mark Carney’s bid to rule Canada

Claims of lies by the former Bank of England governor threaten to derail his surging campaign

As Mark Carney stepped out to address the throng of waiting cameras, the Bank of England’s then-governor made every effort to appear calm and collected.

The day was June 24 2016 and millions of people were waking up to the news that Britain had just voted to quit the European Union. Financial markets were having a panic attack. And it was Carney’s job to soothe their nerves.

“Some market and economic volatility can be expected as this process unfolds,” the Canadian said in his television address. “But we are well prepared for this. The Bank of England will not hesitate to take additional measures as required.”

Conrad Black: Sulky Mark Carney not what we need

Canada appeared last week to be undergoing a paroxysm over U.S. President Donald Trump. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau incited public fears three weeks ago by declaring before a microphone he knew to be open that Trump was serious about taking over Canada. A knowledgeable and worldly friend who always has perceptive opinions on world affairs wrote me last weekend expressing his concern that Trump was making a spheres of influence agreement with Russia that would permit President Vladimir Putin to absorb Ukraine while the U.S. took over Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal Zone. None of this is happening. When he was first elected president eight years ago, many otherwise or apparently serious people made outrageous allegations, such as the national intelligence director, James Clapper, who declared that Trump was a Russian intelligence asset who had been elected by Russian manipulation of the 2016 election. All of this was demonstrated to be utter fiction. And we have now, after Trump has surmounted corrupt political impeachments and prosecutions and assassination attempts, and won an uncontestedly fair election (and complete acquittal) from the majority of his countrymen, graduated to the point where his legitimacy as president is accepted, but fantastic schemes of collusion with America’s rivals and aggression against its allies are being imputed to him by people who know better.

Freeland tells Maher she’ll ditch ‘virtue signaling’, ‘identity politics’ as Liberal leader

OTTAWA — “I hope there are some Canadians here,” said Liberal leadership hopeful Chrystia Freeland as she joined comedian Bill Maher for a one-on-one interview Friday on the set of HBO’s Real Time in Los Angeles.

Freeland, a semi-regular panelist on the irreverent political talk show, was in “full campaign mode” as she made her pitch to Maher that she was the right person to defend Canada against the whims of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Trudeau voices support for Ukraine following tense Trump-Zelenskyy meeting

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau voiced support for Ukraine after a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy went completely off the rails.

Trump and Vice-President JD Vance berated Zelenskyy at the White House on Friday as the leaders met to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine, access to the country’s critical minerals and a potential ceasefire with Russia.


Both the Trudeau and Freeland posts are being ratio’d.

The Ukraine has a huge recruiting disaster on their hands.

People just will not sign up to fight and many have fled the country.

Unless and until the why behind the recruiting failure is answered it makes little sense to support Zelensky.

I suspect Ukraine became the Deep State’s replacement forever war having lost the Afghanistan trough.

Mark Carney’s been branded a ‘globalist’ — and he’s just fine with that. Inside the world of the man who could be Canada’s next prime minister

OTTAWA — Not long after the Iron Curtain fell, Mark Carney found himself in the goalie crease of a Soviet-era hockey arena, taking professional-calibre shots from a cadre of Russian speedsters.

It was January 1993, and the young Canadian was in net for the Oxford Blues. The storied “ice hockey” club — with roots in the 19th century and a roster of alumni that includes Lester B. Pearson — had travelled from its prestigious British university to tour Russia after the collapse of the U.S.S.R.

‘Terrible judgment’: Liberals slam obstacles to voting in leadership race

OTTAWA — Liberal supporters and former MPs say they party’s voter verification system is not working well and could prevent people from casting their ballots in the race to replace Justin Trudeau.

Bob Delaney, who was a Liberal MPP at Queen’s Park from 2003 to 2018, said he was blocked from getting verified to vote because he wasn’t registered with the party under his full legal name: Robert Patrick Delaney.

The party is using Canada Post’s Identity+ app to verify the identities of party members before they cast ballots in the leadership race. Liberals can use the app or visit a local post office to be verified.

In other words it’s working as planned for the Carney Coronation.

Carney says he resigned from ‘all’ his roles to run for Liberal leadership. Turns out he hasn’t

OTTAWA — Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney has not yet resigned from his multiple international board positions, despite claiming this week that he had stepped down from all his roles to be “all in” on his bid to become Canada’s next prime minister.

National Post contacted nearly two dozen organizations that Carney had public links to until recently. While he resigned from most of them around the time he launched his leadership bid in January, he remains connected to at least five.

McMILLAN: Get radical… do unto Trudeau what Trudeau does unto us

‘Looks like Trudeau is using the old, ‘rules for radicals’ playbook against Canadians. Canadians can also do that against this Liberal government.’

Would you look at them running around? Half of Canadians think they are in danger from a president south of the border and half of them think they should separate. None of them, however, can even agree on what a Canadian is.

Does a Canadian “boo” the American anthem at a hockey game or does a Canadian drive a truck to Ottawa in protest of lockdowns? Is a Canadian friendly or a genocidal colonialist? Are Canadians innovators with the world’s richest reserves of natural resources or are they climate change saviours by leveraging taxation? How many genders is a Canadian?

Geoff Russ: When it comes to energy, Carney is the wrong man at the worst time

Even if only for a matter of weeks, Mark Carney is likely to become prime minister of Canada when this Liberal leadership race concludes. His vision for the country is rife with climate strategies and schemes belonging to a world most can remember, but that no longer exists.

The world has moved on. International accords such as the 2015 Paris Agreement, cooperation between financial institutions on climate goals, and more carbon pricing are no longer priorities for Canada in 2025. Canada is not a superpower, no serious person would say differently, and we have to swim in the global current of change.
