00:00:00.000 Mr. Carney, why did you lie about moving Brookfield's headquarters to New York?
00:00:07.200 Why are you using police resources to help yourself get elected, Mark?
00:00:11.500 Pian Bextie here for Juno News outside of Mark Carney's event, which lasted two hours.
00:00:15.580 He dipped into Calgary just so that he could dip into the wallets of Calgarians,
00:00:20.080 Liberal donors who are willing to help fund his campaign and really his coronation, I suppose,
00:00:24.880 to become not just Liberal leader but Prime Minister of this country.
00:00:27.460 And it shows. The RCMP are doing their level best to protect Mark Carney from answering any questions at all.
00:00:34.900 He says he holds scrums with the media, but really, it's just the mainstream media
00:00:38.440 and any media that they know will not ask prickly questions or media that will just talk about themselves and make no sense.
00:00:45.420 Sir, my question is or my concern is I'm just concerned about the Team Canada.
00:00:49.720 I love Canada. I have dual national, Pakistan and Canada.
00:00:52.760 But the thing is, the way the things are going, I'm deeply concerned and observing and I appreciate Mr.
00:00:59.000 Justin Trudeau dealing is very well and Mr. Duckford dealing is handling very well.
00:01:03.500 Appreciate that. Good friend of Duckford.
00:01:05.160 So, sir, what's your different, what would be different, your strategy compared to the existing leader of Liberal?
00:01:11.460 How are you going to handle after March 3rd the same?
00:01:14.280 That would be the first challenge for you.
00:01:16.080 Thank you very much for giving me the time.
00:01:18.820 I knew if I wanted to ask some questions, I had to get creative.
00:01:21.780 So I ended up waiting between two cars here at the Mark Carney event, squatted down for two hours,
00:01:27.540 waiting just for the right moment to pounce.
00:01:30.660 I knew Mark Carney was going to be protected by the police,
00:01:32.900 but I didn't realize how handsy they would get when I got close to the future king of this country.
00:01:37.740 Mr. Carney, why did you lie about moving Brookfield's headquarters to New York?
00:01:45.400 How can Canadians trust you to stand up for this country when you lied about such simple things?
00:01:50.240 Why are you using police resources to help yourself get elected, Mark?
00:01:57.520 Hi.
00:01:57.920 Mark Carney, again, running away from basic questions.
00:02:08.840 Why did he lie about where the headquarters of Brookfield were?
00:02:12.660 Why will he not become accountable to Canadians and tell us where his investments are?
00:02:19.660 Looks like he's parked up ahead.
00:02:26.520 Mark, why did you lie?
00:02:27.920 This isn't normally what we expect in a free country.
00:02:34.680 Donald Trump, in the United States, for comparison, has had radical access to his Oval Office.
00:02:40.780 He's in power right now.
00:02:42.000 He doesn't have to do that.
00:02:43.420 He chooses to.
00:02:44.220 Because the people deserve answers from the people that are in power.
00:02:47.920 Mark Carney, who is just about to become the most powerful person in this country, thinks otherwise.
00:02:53.780 Before he's even in power, he is using the tools of the state
00:02:57.240 to protect himself from any sorts of accountability.
00:03:00.600 Now, this kind of accountability isn't just answering questions from journalists like me.
00:03:04.320 The accountability we need to see from Mark Carney is a detailed explanation of where his investments are,
00:03:10.540 what boards he sits on, and where his conflicts of interest may lie.
00:03:15.760 Mark Carney is bending the rules, not quite breaking them,
00:03:19.540 but he's taking advantage of them to make sure that Canadians know as little as possible
00:03:24.200 about this world banker before he is installed in the halls of power.
00:03:31.440 It's a disgrace, and it's not how Canada should operate.
00:03:35.300 For Juno News, I'm Kian Bexty.
