Questions surrounding Carney's finances and potential conflicts of interest intensify
Mark Carney is facing increasing scrutiny surrounding his finances after responding combatively to reporters who questioned him about potential conflicts of interest.
On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra discussed how Mark Carney's vast wealth and intimate government ties raise serious conflict of interest concerns as a critical federal election looms.
The former Bank of Canada governor's finances have been thrust under the microscope after it was revealed that under Carney's leadership, his company Brookfield used Bermuda as a tax haven to attract foreign investment.
Carney also accused CBC reporter Rosemary Barton of questioning him with "ill will" when she asked him about his finances and potential conflicts of interest.

"Mark Carney is being very sketchy about his vast wealth and how he got it," Ezra began.
"I have nothing against vast wealth — I do have a few questions about how Carney could have amassed such wealth while working for the Bank of England, and then the United Nations, and then as an economic advisor to Justin Trudeau for five years," he said.
Ezra went on: "Seems like it would be a real conflict of interest to have an inside track on so many government plans while also running a major company called Brookfield, which is like a smaller version of BlackRock, making huge investments, making divestments, moving capital around, picking winners and losers."
Carney has faced additional criticism in recent weeks from Conservatives who say he is simply "hiding" the consumer carbon tax until after the election after he reduced the rate to zero. Carney still supports and has kept in place a carbon tax on "large emitters."

S M commented 2025-03-28 00:29:34 -0400If Carney has no riding and no seat all he is, is a mouthpiece for the WEF and Liberals nothing more, Chandra needs to run as an independent, but I think he’s been bought off not to run as an independent.

Bernhard Jatzeck commented 2025-03-27 21:31:25 -0400Those allegations won’t prevent Carney from taking office next month. After all, if a few ethics charges didn’t hurt Trudeau, why should some actual conflicts be of concern now?

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-03-27 19:07:46 -0400The good thing about Carney’s evasiveness is that it just raises more questions. Pierre Poilievre hasn’t that problem. He says what he means and means what he says.
