As the federal election looms, Prime Minister Mark Carney faces no shortage of press attention — but few headlines have dared to scrutinize his time as vice-chair and then chair of Brookfield Asset Management, and the controversy surrounding it.

Not only is the firm an investment giant that cashed in a fortune off green energy subsidies — while Carney simultaneously opposed profitable pipelines in Canada, it’s also been accused of breaching Indigenous rights in four different countries, including Canada.

So much for the leader's so-called “Canada Strong” slogan while campaigning for the election.

As reported by CBC Indigenous, Brookfield — under Carney’s watch from 2020 to 2024 — faced such allegations in Brazil, Colombia, the United States, and Canada. The accusations range from deforestation and attempted evictions of Indigenous groups to hydroelectric dams and wind farms that allegedly violated treaty rights or damaged ecosystems.

In Canada, Brookfield is being sued for $100 million by Mississauga First Nation, whose lawyer claims the company “shut the door in our face” when approached about benefit-sharing related to four dams in Ontario.

In Brazil, Brookfield was accused by the NGO Global Witness of human rights abuses, including links to anti-slavery law breaches and environmental destruction. Meanwhile, Indigenous resistance flared in Colombia over one of Brookfield’s wind farms, and environmental disputes arose in Maine over its hydro operations.

Despite the multinational’s sweeping operations and the seriousness of the allegations, Prime Minister Carney has remained relatively untouched by political or activist backlash since an election was called.

The silence has been particularly deafening when contrasted with the treatment of promising North Island Conservative candidate Aaron Gunn — who has faced fierce demands to be dropped from the race simply for posting on social media that the residential school system was not genocide.

Gunn’s 2020 post stating, “There was no genocide. Stop lying to people and read a book,” and other comments challenging the mainstream residential school narrative have triggered calls from former Indigenous leaders to cancel his candidacy.

Yet Brookfield’s documented disputes with Indigenous communities under Carney’s green investing portfolio barely register on the outrage radar despite him possibly continuing on as Prime Minister.

Mark Carney is dodging Indigenous media — but why?

Could it be because his father’s legacy doesn’t fit today’s politically correct narrative or the growing calls to criminalize so-called ‘residential school denialism’ ?

That imbalance grows more ironic when one considers Carney’s own avoidance of Indigenous media.

Despite pledging $253 million to economic development in Nunavut, he refused to participate in an interview with APTN — Canada’s national Indigenous broadcaster — or even respond to emailed questions. According to APTN, Carney also ignored their requests during the Liberal leadership race.

That silence may not be coincidental. Mark Carney’s father, Robert Carney, was a principal at an Indian day school in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories — a school now recognized by its community as a former residential school.

Robert Carney not only led the school, but later became a well-respected historian who wrote about his time in the system. He acknowledged the problems within residential schools, but also praised the educational opportunities and social support they provided, writing that they “offered shelter, food, and a stable environment for children in need” and were “an important resource for northern and isolated regions.”

Those views — historically nuanced and factually supported — are today being branded by leftist media, politicians and first nations lobby groups as “residential school denialism,” a term that has been weaponized in recent years.

Prominent figures like Kimberly Murray and NDP MP Leah Gazan have called for criminalizing such speech, and activist groups like the First Nations Leadership Council are pushing for legal consequences against anyone challenging the politically correct narrative.

So why the double standard?

While Gunn is vilified for referencing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s own conclusion that residential schools were a form of “cultural” genocide, not literal — Carney, whose dodging questions about his own father publicly documenting the good and bad of the system, while Canadians today are politically persecuted for stating the same, gets a free pass.

Brookfield’s global footprint includes projects that allegedly displaced Indigenous communities and harmed their environment, yet the conversation remains quiet perhaps during a time when it matters the most.

Perhaps Carney knows this better than anyone. And perhaps those who cry “residential school denialism” the loudest do but have motives other than truth and reconciliation for making such pleas.
