Mark Carney's company wants $10 billion from Ottawa | National Post

Due to an unusual hiring arrangement, Carney is shielded from the usual ethics disclosures required of prime ministerial advisors

 

This week, it was reported that Brookfield Asset Management — of which Carney is the sitting chair — is pitching Ottawa on a $50 billion asset fund that would be seeded by as much as $10 billion in federal dollars.

This means that Carney is taking on a new job at the right hand of the prime minister at the precise moment that he oversees a company seeking to secure one of the largest contributions of federal cash in the country’s history.

“The brazenness of this move is stunning, even if measured by the low bar of Mr. Trudeau’s wobbly ethical standards,” read a critique by Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner published in the Western Standard.

 

Well considering how people are sick of liberal corruption, I'd say this probably not carney out of the running for liberal leader for at least the next leadership race or two. I guess he decided he wasn't going to run so he might as well pocket the cash and led his name out to try and Salvage Trudeau's reputation. Probably worth it for 10 billion

People are sick of corruption. There is no liberal or conservative tied to it. 

Stop trying to make a political issue, a divisive one.
