Carney the Liar - From ChatGPT

[WestCanMan]

I hate to copy and paste something to this extent, but left4rds here were pretending that Carney never lied about his role in moving Brookfield, so here's the definitive answer, from Chat GPT. 

Q: Did Mark Carney lie about his role in moving Brookfield's HQ to NY?

A:

• Good question. Here’s a breakdown of what we know so far — and why many people conclude that yes, Mark Carney appears to have misled the public about his role in Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) moving its head office from Toronto to New York. ca.news.yahoo.com+2ca.news.yahoo.com+2

  ✅ What’s on record

• The board of BAM — of which Carney was Chair — approved the relocation of Brookfield’s head office from Toronto to New York in 2024. ca.news.yahoo.com+2Yahoo+2

• A public announcement from Brookfield, dated October 2024, confirmed the head-office shift. ca.news.yahoo.com+1

• A letter to shareholders, signed by Carney on December 1, 2024, explicitly urged them to support the move. ca.news.yahoo.com+2ca.news.yahoo.com+2

• 🗣 What Carney said

  During a leadership-race debate and subsequent media scrum, Carney said the “formal decision of the board” to move the head office happened after he resigned from the Brookfield board in mid-January 2025. He claimed he no longer had a connection with the firm by then. Global News+2ca.news.yahoo.com+2

  ⚠ Why many call his claim a lie — or at least misleading

• The decision to relocate was publicly announced in October 2024 — clearly before Carney’s claimed resignation date. ca.news.yahoo.com+2Yahoo+2

• Carney’s own December 1, 2024 letter to shareholders shows he not only was still chair at that time, but actively supported and urged the move. ca.news.yahoo.com+2Conservative Party of Canada+2

• Critics — notably from Conservative Party of Canada — argue that Carney’s statement to reporters misrepresents the timing and extent of his involvement. ca.news.yahoo.com+2ca.news.yahoo.com+2

• Even Carney’s campaign acknowledged later he “should have been more precise” when claiming he had “no part” in the move. junonews.com+1

  📌 Interpretation — Did he “lie”?

• On a strict-timing basis: yes — the relocation decision was made (and publicly announced) while Carney was still Chair, so his claim that the “formal decision” came after he resigned appears factually incorrect.

• On semantics and legal technicalities: there’s a possible argument that “formal decision” refers not to the announcement but to some final shareholder vote or corporate-restructuring step. That could be what he was referencing — but that explanation is generally viewed as a dodge, because the public announcement and board approval already occurred under his chairmanship.

• In terms of public trust and political optics: most observers view it as a misleading statement or misrepresentation — whether intentionally or not — and it has damaged his credibility on honesty and transparency.

 

 

 

ChatGPT is too kind. They spell it out that he actually lied, 100%, but then they sugar-coat their answer with mamby-pamby BS answers like "yes, Mark Carney appears to have misled the public" lol. 

The fact is that his statement was a fabrication - the most direct and premeditated form of lie that there is. He didn't exaggerate something, omit something, or give a noncommittal answer that could be interpreted in a number of different ways... Mark Carney made up a false story about something that had happened very recently at that point. It's impossible for him to have forgotten, or gotten that story so wrong in such a basic, declarative sentence.

 

Carney Sr.: "Did you chop down the cherry tree, Honest Mark?"

Mark the Liar: "I wasn't in the yard, I was in Mexico, and I didn't have an axe."

Carney Sr.: "Here's a video of you standing in the yard with an axe, hitting the tree, right before it fell down. And you yelled "TIMBER!" just when it started to fall, for some reason."

Mark the Liar's campaign manager: "Mark clearly should have been more precise.”

CBC: "The conservatives need a new leader. Poilievre says too much bad stuff about Carney."

 

ChatGPT: "Mark Carney appears to have misled his father." 😂

Leftards: "Carney is just as dreamy as Trudeau was. It doesn't matter what he says or does, I will always vote for him, and call everyone who votes against him a racist."
