However... https://truenorthwire.com/2025/12/carney-caught-meeting-brookfield-execs-despite-ethics-warnings/ Carney caught meeting Brookfield execs despite ethics warnings While Carney is well aware that he is not to be meeting with members of Brookfield’s organization, he’s continued to do so, and without the knowledge of the ethics commissioner. “We know that Mr. Carney was lobbied by NorthRiver Midstream, said Conservative MP Michael Cooper. “On May 6, a week later, he met with Sam Pollock, the CEO of Brookfield infrastructure in Washington D.C. Brookfield infrastructure is also subject to the ethics screen, yet it has recently come to light that in October Mr. Carney met with the chief operating officer of Brookfield, Justin Beber, in the prime minister’s office.” von Finkenstein(Ethics Commissioner) went on to say that his goal was for Carney to recuse himself in a way that should be made public. However, he has yet to do so because “he’s a busy man,” Are you actually expecting me to believe Ezra Levants Rebel News and a Conservative MP? Both with an axe to grind?? LOL And a year old opinion piece??? Yeah..OK Quote You are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to tell me what mine should be.

Somehow, for the more shallow Canadian voters, it always comes down to personality/likeability instead of competence/job performance. In Stephen Harper, Canada had a very competent leader along with a pretty respectable record as PM. Not good enough so Canadians went for the substitute drama teacher with the famous surname and great hair, but who otherwise proved to be a rather mediocre PM at best. To date, Mark Carney is rather underwhelming. Nope...not at all. Some people think that a wannabe PM that has lost 3 elections is still a viable leader. Yup, Steven Harper was a very competent PM...until he wasn't. I voted for him every time he ran. "Mark Carney is rather underwhelming. " as opposed to PP that is not a player in the grand scheme of things?? His backbencher outwitted him by going to the US for meetings. PP just had a meeting with Carney.... they both said it went fine except Carney could not tell PP everything because he does not have clearance.

And you're even dismissing what the Ethics Commissioner is admitting. Correct, sorry. True North is now Juno and "Juno News is not the same entity as Rebel News, though they are closely related in the Canadian conservative, right-wing media landscape and often work together. " "While separate, they frequently collaborate and are both considered part of the same "independent" or "alt-right" media ecosystem, often acting as third-party advocacy groups rather than traditional news outlets." The article is opinion and the ethics commissioner has not investigated or made findings. " von Finkenstein went on to say that his goal was for Carney to recuse himself in a way that should be made public. However, he has yet to do so because “he’s a busy man,” “The office has established a screen to try to make sure that he doesn’t get exposed to it,” he said. and "He added that it was his understanding from the prime minister’s and Beber’s previous testimony that the two only spoke about the rise of anti-Semitism, and had “absolutely nothing to do with business.” “It was a personal visit, etc.,” the ethics commissioner said. “Should it have taken place or not? That is for you to decide.” So, the ethics commissioner had no issue and as he said..it is for you to decide Quote You are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to tell me what mine should be.

suds Posted February 8 Report Posted February 8 All I want to know is ..... when are we going to start putting shovels in the fu*king ground and start using the common sense that God gave us? Because this country is going right down the fu*king drain if we don't. But we're stupid that way. We re-elect the same fu*king government that created the mess in the first place and expect a different result. We've had enough blah blah blah from Carney. It's time for some action. Quote

I think the problem is that we keep using the same system of government. I'm convinced Canadians want to separate from Ottawa not each other. I'm also quite convinced leaders of separatist movements will keep governing in the same manner everyone is comfortably numb to. Einstein would probably just shake his head.

One thing I've learned about the typical Canadian Liberal voter is that they're far more likely to approve of anything a Liberal government does as long as it does not affect them directly. When it does begin to affect them directly.... well ask Trudeau. Poilievre at least deserves a second chance because his policies were sound. You know, the policies that the Liberals stole from the Conservatives to win the last election. The only difference of course is that Poilievre if elected would have enacted those policies. But with democracies everywhere, the people vote and get the government they deserve. 1 Quote

It will be difficult to weed out once it has become acceptable which seems to be the case. Politicians get caught in the act of doing certain things and they just don't care.

Politicians get caught in the act of doing certain things and they just don't care. As with the Trudeau government there is no accountability. The only thing that holds politicians to account in the voters and unfortunately far too many liberal voters are willing to let it slide. Eventually NDP voters have even been willing to wipe out a party here and there when they became corrupt. Conservatives have done it as well. If every party understood that corruption leads to being wiped out we see a few less problems. But unfortunately as long as the liberals are willing to give their people a free ride the whole concept breaks down It's always going to be some corruption, there's no getting around that. But you can have a hullabalot less if voters are willing to be intolerant of it Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."
