Juno News - Juno News INVESTIGATES Mark Carney’s lies

00:00:00.000 Hi, Mr. Garney.

00:00:00.780 Andrew Lawton with the True North and Canada area.

00:00:02.560 Yes, I do.

00:00:03.040 I never do, I never do spontaneously.

00:00:08.080 If you want an interview with me, like everybody else, you make a request and you can have it.

00:00:13.320 And will you accept that?

00:00:14.980 Like everybody else, if I can finish it, okay?

00:00:17.260 Look, freedom of the press, I've, look, I've been a public figure in Canada, been a public figure in the UK.

00:00:25.100 I know you got to answer tough questions and you guys, you know, you ask tough questions and that's fair.

00:00:30.000 Why are you taking questions from the media?

00:00:34.160 Why no questions, sir?

00:00:35.560 Why no questions?

00:00:37.440 Okay, you are trespassing, so you need to leave the property.

00:00:39.780 Okay.

00:00:44.980 Back this day?

00:00:45.920 Okay, sorry, we're actually going to go with this.

00:00:47.080 Oh.

00:00:49.920 This way, this way, sir.

00:00:51.300 This is the weirdest, uh, I've ever been treated.

00:00:55.800 Mr. Carney, why did you lie about moving Brookfield's headquarters to New York?

00:01:03.740 How can Canadians trust you to stand up for this country when you lied about such simple things?

00:01:08.400 Why are you using police resources to help yourself get elected, Mark?

00:01:12.920 Mark Carney, again, running away from basic questions.

00:01:16.940 Why did he lie about where the headquarters of Brookfield were?

00:01:20.480 Why will he not become accountable to Canadians?

00:01:24.000 How well do we know Canada's new Prime Minister, Mark Carney?

00:01:27.640 Pretty well, right?

00:01:28.660 He's the high-profile former governor of the Bank of Canada, who then jet-setted across the pond to become the first-ever Canadian-born governor of the Bank of England.

00:01:37.540 He's a mainstay in global power circles, serving the leadership role in the World Economic Forum, acting as the special envoy for climate change and finance at the United Nations,

00:01:48.120 sitting on the board of a number of non-profits promoting the net-zero approach and the urgent need for climate change,

00:01:54.980 and he's a wealthy and successful banker.

00:01:56.920 Until recently, he was the chairman of one of Canada's largest companies, Brookfield Asset Management,

00:02:02.540 which describes itself as a leading global investment firm with over $1 trillion in assets under management.

00:02:13.100 Since the day Justin Trudeau announced his resignation, Mark Carney was a favourite to replace him.

00:02:19.980 The favourite, depending on who you read.

00:02:22.020 Rock star economist Mark Carney, a front-runner.

00:02:24.580 The Liberal leadership is Mark Carney's to lose.

00:02:27.540 What's interesting is that even before he announced, the world was already talking about him.

00:02:32.460 Before he was trying to replace Justin Trudeau as the leader of the Liberal Party, Mark Carney was an economic record-breaker.

00:02:38.140 He worked his way up through a middle-class upbringing to really the top of the financial world in Canada and then in London,

00:02:46.880 and then in the private sector.

00:02:48.900 I mean, he's had an amazing, an absolutely amazing career.

00:02:51.640 While at the Bank of Canada, Time magazine named him one of the world's most influential people in 2010

00:02:58.360 for helping keep the country's banks safe through the global financial crisis.

00:03:03.200 Mr Carney, Mark Carney.

00:03:04.700 Mark Carney.

00:03:05.500 Please welcome to the programme Mark Carney.

00:03:06.960 Mr Carney is with me there.

00:03:08.160 Now, you're looking very, very dapper and very cool.

00:03:10.300 Look, I mean, there's a bit of a love affair going on as well, let's be honest, right?

00:03:13.520 I mean, maybe three great love affairs in history.

00:03:16.120 Romeo and Juliet, Will and Kate, and the national media, and Mark Carney.

00:03:19.060 I mean, the national media really likes this guy.

00:03:21.500 They've known him for a long time, and they're giving him a free pass so far.

00:03:24.440 Now, if you listen to the legacy media, they'll tell you that he's the man to turn to during a crisis.

00:03:29.680 That he was there, behind the scenes, with his sleeves rolled up, fixing the greatest problems we've faced in the last 30 years.

00:03:35.860 Be it helping restructure Canada's finances and avoiding bankruptcy with Paul Martin and the Liberal government back in the 1990s,

00:03:42.620 to steering the ship and navigating Canada through rough waters during the 2008 financial crisis with Stephen Harper and the Conservatives,

00:03:50.160 hopping on over to do the same thing in the United Kingdom as the Governor of the Bank of England,

00:03:54.420 or advising Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the best course of action during the COVID-19 pandemic

00:04:00.040 and resulting economic calamity of runaway inflation and the cost-of-living crisis we face today.

00:04:06.500 There's only one problem with this narrative.

00:04:08.860 It isn't true.

00:04:10.340 And in fact, the more we learn about Mark Carney, the more we start to realize that something is not quite right.

00:04:17.320 The mask is starting to slip, and cracks are starting to form in the foundation of his squeaky clean record.

00:04:24.720 It started in late February.

00:04:26.340 You see, when U.S. President Donald Trump was sworn into office and started to put pressure on Canada in January,

00:04:33.720 Mark Carney's company, Brookfield Asset Management, moved its headquarters from Toronto to New York City.

00:04:40.720 Then, on Tuesday, February 25th, Mark Carney was asked about this decision, and he flat-out claimed that he was not involved.

00:04:48.920 So, two things. I'll just correct a few factual things.

00:04:52.340 One, I was chair of Brookfield Asset Management.

00:04:55.720 I ceased to be chair on the 15th, I think, of January, when I announced for leadership.

00:05:04.640 Also ceased to be chair of Bloomberg as well.

00:05:08.020 Ceased to be United Nations Special Envoy on Climate Action Finance.

00:05:12.060 Ceased to be a number of other things.

00:05:13.640 So, I resigned all my positions because I am all in for Canada.

00:05:18.100 All in for this leadership.

00:05:20.460 All in during this time of crisis to build our great country.

00:05:23.700 Okay?

00:05:24.120 That's the first thing.

00:05:24.840 Second, the decision, the formal decision of the board, happened after I ceased to be on the board.

00:05:32.440 I do not have a connection with Bloomberg Asset, or Brookfield Asset Management.

00:05:36.380 No longer have a role, obviously, as I resigned in the middle of January.

00:05:39.580 However, a letter signed by Mr. Carney on December 1st, 2024, tells a different story.

00:05:46.760 The letter reveals that Mark Carney, on behalf of the board at Brookfield, urged chair holders to support moving the headquarters to New York City and said that the board, which he was chairing, unanimously approved the arrangement.

00:06:00.480 Conservative MP Michael Barrett provided this letter, signed by Mark Carney, as evidence.

00:06:07.400 Last night, Mark Carney lied to Canadians.

00:06:10.320 He lied to Canadians, saying that his company, Brookfield Asset Management, only moved their headquarters from Canada to Donald Trump's hometown of New York City, after he had resigned from the board.

00:06:26.880 Now, we all know that Brookfield made that announcement on October 31st, proving that Mr. Carney was lying to Canadians.

00:06:38.420 But this morning, we can share with you a letter, signed by Mark Carney, on December 1st.

00:06:48.680 Now, this is days after, just days after, Donald Trump had threatened Canada, for the first time, with unjustified tariffs.

00:06:59.100 Now, this letter says that the decision by the board, of which Mark Carney at that time was chair, was unanimous.

00:07:08.420 To move the headquarters and Canadian jobs to Donald Trump's hometown of New York City.

00:07:15.940 And the letter implores shareholders, urges them to support the move.

00:07:21.740 Here's how it reads.

00:07:23.640 We believe, however, that there is more we can do to broaden our shareholder base and gain access to the deepest pools of capital.

00:07:31.560 The most common feedback that we hear from investors encourages us to position Brookfield Asset Management for inclusion in some of the most widely followed global large cap stock indices, including in the U.S.

00:07:45.700 The board, based on, among other things, the recommendation of the GNCC, unanimously determined that the arrangement is in the best interests of Brookfield Asset Management and unanimously approved the arrangement.

00:07:59.900 Accordingly, the board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote for the arrangement resolution at the meeting.

00:08:08.660 So, one more time, let's go through the timeline.

00:08:11.520 On October 31st, 2024, Brookfield first announced that it would be leaving Canada.

00:08:17.620 November 5th, 2024, President Donald Trump is re-elected.

00:08:22.500 November 25th, President-elect Donald Trump threatens the 25% tariffs on Canada.

00:08:28.520 December 1st, Mark Carney writes this letter to shareholders explaining the New York City move.

00:08:34.720 December 20th was the shareholder vote, but get this, it was not finalized until January 27th, due in part because of the Canada Post strike that was happening.

00:08:48.260 On January 16th, Mark Carney resigned from Brookfield Asset Management so that he could announce his leadership for the Liberal Party of Canada.

00:08:57.440 And then on February 25th, Carney stated that he was not involved in the decision to move out of Canada.

00:09:05.380 So, as you can see, he got caught doing a political sleight of hand.

00:09:09.920 And so, at a campaign event in Oakville, Ontario, Mark Carney said that he needed to be more precise when commenting about his involvement in Brookfield Asset Management and their decision to move to New York.

00:09:22.600 There are several elements to the transaction, and I shouldn't have been more precise when I answered it.

00:09:28.340 Basically, we will move to the plan of arrangement, and the plan of arrangement, and the agreement of all that, which is not simply a combination of cooperation with the end-acombed behavior chapter after what it actually was.

00:09:42.280 I think the core of it is, what are we actually talking about?

00:09:46.320 We're talking about maybe a technical change to where we had all this.

00:09:51.000 Not a great start for our new and unelected prime minister.

00:09:55.220 So, here at Juno News, we decided to find out what else he's been misleading Canadians about.

00:10:00.800 While he says he's a respectable banker and a steady hand for the economy, his own words and actions contradict these very claims.

00:10:09.120 Let's go back through the timeline and see what else he's been fibbing about.

00:10:12.480 Here's Mark Carney during the English language leadership debate for the Liberal Party on Tuesday, February 25th, saying that it was his privilege to work with Paul Martin when he balanced the books and kept the books balanced.

00:10:27.620 Well, it was my privilege to work with Paul Martin when he balanced the books and kept the books balanced.

00:10:35.840 And one of the lessons of that is the need for government to continue to focus on how effective it is spending precious taxpayers' dollars.

00:10:46.520 Former Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin balanced the budget as finance minister under the government of the Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chrétien.

00:10:55.520 Martin famously charted out a new course for Canada to finally get its books in order after reckless and runaway spending and ballooning deficits created by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in the late 1960s and onwards.

00:11:09.800 The problems compounded and were dumped at the feet of this Liberal government in the 1990s.

00:11:15.600 They had to drastically cut the size of government and began a program review to look at each and every government program to determine if it was worth keeping.

00:11:24.900 Believe it or not, the Liberals in Canada were doing doge 30 years before Elon Musk started this initiative in the U.S.

00:11:33.200 The Liberals didn't do this because they wanted to. They did it because they had no choice.

00:11:38.140 Canada was going bankrupt. No one wanted to buy our bonds and we came very close to defaulting on our debt.

00:11:44.340 The budget that changed everything, as the right-leaning Fraser Institute described it, was introduced in 1995.

00:11:51.860 See this headline, Chrétien government's historic 1995 budget restored sound fiscal policies in Ottawa.

00:11:59.160 It was the 1995 budget that paved the path to finally producing a balanced budget in 1998.

00:12:06.160 So what role did Mark Carney play?

00:12:09.380 Well, it was my privilege to work with Paul Martin when he balanced the books and kept the books balanced.

00:12:17.720 Well, none. Juno News found no evidence that Carney was involved in those tough decisions.

00:12:24.320 He wasn't at the table. In fact, he wasn't even in the country.

00:12:28.100 Mark Carney was a student, studying in England in 1995.

00:12:32.820 In 1998, when the budget was finally balanced, Carney had moved to New York City, where he was a banker for Goldman Sachs,

00:12:39.840 not exactly working with Paul Martin to balance the books, as he claimed.

00:12:43.420 The Toronto Sun, to its credit, sought comment from the Carney campaign to clarify.

00:12:48.080 In response, this is what the campaign had to say.

00:12:51.400 He was referring to his work in government while Paul Martin was prime minister and kept on balancing the books,

00:12:57.540 read a statement emailed to The Sun.

00:12:59.740 Paul Martin went on to become prime minister from 2004 to 2006.

00:13:04.460 And Carney was hired to work as a civil servant in the Ministry of Finance in late 2004.

00:13:10.420 He was a mid-level bureaucrat, pushing papers around his desk, taking credit for the political decisions made by the prime minister of Canada.

00:13:20.340 That is pretty bold.

00:13:21.860 At no point did Mark Carney work with Paul Martin to balance the budget.

00:13:28.180 At least not according to his own resume.

00:13:30.120 I mean, if he wants to call in and say, oh, no, I had this secret thing that I've never talked about before.

00:13:35.280 While I was working for Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong, I did something.

00:13:38.880 And this is just the beginning.

00:13:41.080 Now, let's move on to that second claim.

00:13:43.500 Mark Carney's campaign website says that as governor of the Bank of Canada during the 2008 financial crisis,

00:13:49.960 Mark Carney guided Canada through one of the most turbulent economic periods in modern history,

00:13:56.200 protecting jobs and helping ensure that Canada came out stronger.

00:14:00.640 Bold claim.

00:14:01.720 But again, it just doesn't hold up.

00:14:04.260 Even CBC News had to point this out.

00:14:06.560 Here's their headline.

00:14:07.500 Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper accuses Carney of overblowing role during financial crisis.

00:14:14.180 But today, former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper called into question some of those credentials,

00:14:20.140 blasting Carney, who he tapped to run the Bank of Canada back in 2008,

00:14:24.580 for overstating his role in steering Canada through the global financial crisis.

00:14:29.440 In a letter, Harper accused Carney of taking credit for things he had little or nothing to do with back then,

00:14:35.660 asserting that the hard calls were made by former finance minister, the late Jim Flaherty.

00:14:41.200 Responding to these remarks, Carney's campaign accused Harper of engaging in revisionist history to save Pierre Polyev.

00:14:49.260 Mr. Harper issued a letter to Canadians, and here is how that sounds.

00:14:53.880 Mark Carney wants us to believe that his experience is the solution.

00:14:58.100 But what is that experience?

00:14:59.760 Carney's experience is not the day-to-day management of Canada's economy during the global financial crisis.

00:15:05.320 I have listened with increasing disbelief to Mark Carney's attempts to take credit for things he had little or nothing to do with back then.

00:15:14.180 He has been doing this at the expense of the late Jim Flaherty,

00:15:17.240 among the greatest finance ministers in Canada's history, who sadly is not here to defend his record.

00:15:23.160 But let me be very clear, the hard calls made during the 2008-2009 global financial crisis were made by Jim.

00:15:32.660 Prime Minister Stephen Harper typically stays out of the political fray these days,

00:15:37.120 so for him to issue that letter on Monday, March 3rd, he clearly felt the need to step in and correct the record.

00:15:44.040 Let's move on to the next claim about Mark Carney, which is that he skillfully governed the Bank of England,

00:15:49.680 and that he was revered and applauded for his role that he played.

00:15:53.620 From no job to one of England's top jobs, Mark Carney, Canada's top banker, is jumping ship.

00:15:59.300 Though Carney said for months it wasn't a job he wanted,

00:16:02.180 today he announced he is taking over as head of the Bank of England.

00:16:05.820 After repeatedly saying he didn't want the job,

00:16:08.380 Mark Carney says the decision to move across the pond next summer was the result of soul-searching.

00:16:14.040 He gets a hero's welcome in Canada for his role with Stephen Harper and Jim Flaherty during the 2008-2009 financial crash.

00:16:23.100 He doesn't have the same stellar reputation with everyone in Britain, does he?

00:16:28.440 Well, Juneau News' Kian Bexty caught up with former British Prime Minister Liz Truss,

00:16:34.460 and here is what she had to say.

00:16:36.240 I just wanted to get your thoughts on Mark Carney and your relationship with him

00:16:40.160 while you were Prime Minister of the United Kingdom,

00:16:42.880 and any advice you have to Canadians who think he might make a good Prime Minister.

00:16:47.400 Well, Mark Carney was Governor of the Bank of England,

00:16:50.300 and under his tenure, too much money was printed,

00:16:54.040 which did damage to the British economy and put our economy off track.

00:16:58.760 He, at the last election, endorsed Rachel Reeve's economic policy.

00:17:03.920 She's now become Chancellor.

00:17:05.420 It's been a disaster for Britain.

00:17:07.480 The country is heading for bankruptcy.

00:17:09.980 So I would strongly recommend not backing Mark Carney

00:17:12.780 or his policies on net zero,

00:17:15.400 which have been disastrous for Britain

00:17:17.160 and would be disastrous for Canada.

00:17:19.360 Do you trust his judgment overall,

00:17:21.560 outside of ideological considerations?

00:17:23.340 Well, I believe that he made major mistakes

00:17:26.440 in the management of the Bank of England.

00:17:28.700 He has pushed net zero, which has been a disaster,

00:17:32.000 not just for the UK, but for many countries across the world.

00:17:35.720 Thanks for your time, Prime Minister.

00:17:36.760 And it isn't just Truss making this complaint.

00:17:40.740 Matthew Lynn, a financial columnist for The Spectator magazine in the UK,

00:17:45.280 had this to say.

00:17:46.760 Just check out this headline on January 7th, 2025.

00:17:49.820 Mark Carney is not fit to be Canadian PM.

00:17:53.980 Let me read from this article.

00:17:56.100 The trouble is, it's now clear that he was not actually very good.

00:18:00.400 The bank made a whole series of mistakes under his management.

00:18:03.920 Growth was consistently weak.

00:18:05.760 The bank printed too much money, stoking an asset bubble

00:18:08.880 and ultimately triggering the highest inflation rate in the G7.

00:18:13.240 It badly misjudged the impact of the UK's departure from the EU,

00:18:16.980 allowing itself to become politicized as part of Project FEAR.

00:18:21.280 It lost control of regulation,

00:18:22.920 as became clear during the liability-driven investment crisis

00:18:26.200 during the trust premiership.

00:18:28.360 It also allowed the city to start losing its position

00:18:31.280 as a leading financial center,

00:18:33.340 a trend that has been accelerated since he left.

00:18:36.180 It's hardly an inspiring message.

00:18:38.560 It has gotten even worse since then,

00:18:40.260 with Carney becoming one of the most enthusiastic supporters

00:18:43.140 of Rachel Reeves during the run-up to this election,

00:18:46.940 praising her expertise and vision.

00:18:49.640 Whatever your politics,

00:18:50.860 it is surely now clear that Reeves is hopelessly out of her depth

00:18:54.400 and is turning to one of the worst chancellors in the modern era.

00:18:58.660 Again and again, Carney's judgment has been terrible.

00:19:01.640 True, he will make a very easy opponent for the Conservatives

00:19:05.220 if he does take over as PM.

00:19:07.160 But the blunt truth is this.

00:19:09.320 He is not fit for the job,

00:19:10.540 and Canada can do better.

00:19:12.760 Not exactly stellar references.

00:19:15.040 Now, in the first three examples,

00:19:17.020 Carney was exaggerating his role

00:19:18.720 and pretending he did things that he simply did not do.

00:19:22.400 Our fourth example, interestingly,

00:19:24.620 shows Mark Carney doing the exact opposite.

00:19:27.500 Mark Carney has been advising former Prime Minister

00:19:30.140 Justin Trudeau since 2020.

00:19:32.720 And yet, before his launch,

00:19:34.720 Carney went on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

00:19:36.600 and claimed that he was an outsider.

00:19:38.500 A wild hypothetical.

00:19:39.680 Let's say the candidate wasn't part of the government.

00:19:44.020 Let's say the candidate did have a lot of economic experience.

00:19:47.600 Let's say the candidate did deal with crises.

00:19:50.520 Let's say the candidate had a plan

00:19:52.480 to deal with the challenges in the here and now.

00:19:55.280 You sneaky.

00:19:56.100 You're running as an outsider. 0.62

00:19:58.060 I am an outsider.

00:19:59.200 Even a friendly, late-night talk show host saw through the ruse

00:20:02.840 and called out Carney for being sneaky.

00:20:05.480 You can't simultaneously claim that you were there the whole time

00:20:08.960 while also casting yourself as an outsider.

00:20:11.900 Now, the Canadian media would never let him get away with that.

00:20:15.200 Would they?

00:20:16.040 This is no time for politics as usual.

00:20:19.060 Mark Carney pitched himself as an outsider.

00:20:21.800 Not a politician,

00:20:22.660 but someone who would have the skills needed to meet the moment.

00:20:25.920 He's running on,

00:20:26.880 I've never run for anything.

00:20:28.180 I'm an outsider.

00:20:29.060 I'm new.

00:20:29.520 He is, though, an outsider to this government.

00:20:32.420 He's never been a member of this government.

00:20:34.380 What's being set up is clearly a race 0.89

00:20:36.700 that the party's going to have to decide.

00:20:38.260 Do they want somebody that has been a part of the Trudeau government?

00:20:40.920 Or do you want an outsider?

00:20:42.000 Of course they would.

00:20:42.980 The media in Canada, after all, is funded by the liberal government.

00:20:47.520 Perhaps this helps answer our next question,

00:20:49.900 which is why is Mark Carney so afraid of the independent press?

00:20:54.100 It started on the afternoon he launched his campaign in Edmonton, Alberta.

00:20:58.120 True North's Isaac Lamoureux, Kian Bextie,

00:21:01.020 and several other independent reporters

00:21:02.960 were prevented from entering Mark Carney's campaign launch event in Edmonton.

00:21:08.060 Here's what that looked like.

00:21:09.060 We're here in Edmonton, and you are blockading our access.

00:21:11.640 Someone who doesn't even claim to be part of the campaign,

00:21:14.340 just some sort of thug standing at the door,

00:21:16.700 stopping one, two, three, four, five, six,

00:21:19.560 seven journalists from walking into the building

00:21:21.640 to cover someone who is going to be appointed

00:21:24.360 as potentially our next prime minister.

00:21:26.880 Is this the country that he's going to create?

00:21:29.040 This is what you're standing behind?

00:21:30.460 The lineup of people waiting to get in here?

00:21:33.240 Journalists from every sort of outlet?

00:21:36.580 Carney and his goons repeated this tactic again in Oakville, Ontario.

00:21:40.740 True North's Noah Jarvis was barred from entering Mark Carney's campaign event.

00:21:46.380 And Carney did it again in Calgary.

00:21:48.540 The Western Standard, The Rebel, and Juno News' Kian Bextie

00:21:52.280 were all denied entry into this event.

00:21:55.580 Well, Kian Bextie found a way to confront Mark Carney,

00:21:58.920 and here's what that looked like.

00:22:02.760 Mr. Carney, why did you lie about moving Brookfield's headquarters to New York?

00:22:07.080 Mark, how can Canadians trust you to stand up for this country

00:22:10.020 when you lied about such simple things?

00:22:12.400 Why are you using police resources to help yourself get elected, Mark?

00:22:16.760 This assault on the free press in Canada was so outrageous

00:22:19.580 that it was condemned by the Independent Press Gallery of Canada.

00:22:22.940 The Independent Press Gallery of Canada, the IPG,

00:22:26.300 strongly condemns Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney's

00:22:29.500 repeated exclusion of independent journalists from his campaign events.

00:22:34.160 On January 16th, 2025, during Carney's campaign launch in Edmonton,

00:22:40.220 several independent journalists from True North,

00:22:43.160 the Western Standard, and the Counter Signal

00:22:45.120 were denied entry despite holding valid invitations.

00:22:49.560 Notably, James Snell, an accredited member

00:22:52.900 of the Alberta Legislative Press Gallery, was among those barred.

00:22:56.940 The police were called to remove these journalists at the campaign's request.

00:23:02.520 This troubling trend continued on March 4th, 2025, in Calgary,

00:23:07.620 where independent journalists, including those from the Western Standard

00:23:11.240 and Rebel News, were again denied entry.

00:23:14.500 Carney is avoiding journalistic scrutiny,

00:23:17.460 contradicting the principles enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

00:23:22.120 Carney's refusal to engage with independent journalists

00:23:25.080 contrasts sharply with the Conservative leader,

00:23:28.400 Pierre Polyev's inclusive media approach,

00:23:31.200 which allows both mainstream and independent outlets

00:23:33.940 to attend and question him at public events.

00:23:36.580 The Independent Press Gallery calls on Mark Carney's campaign

00:23:40.920 to cease these undemocratic practices immediately

00:23:44.540 and to permit independent journalists to attend,

00:23:47.780 report, and ask questions freely,

00:23:50.520 as is their right in a true democracy.

00:23:53.340 We also urge all political campaigns,

00:23:56.700 regardless of their party affiliation,

00:23:59.180 to respect press freedom and ensure open access to their events.

00:24:04.300 Journalists, whether government-funded or independent,

00:24:07.560 play a crucial role in asking tough questions

00:24:09.760 and holding public figures accountable.

00:24:12.240 Mark Carney's campaign must address its disturbing efforts

00:24:16.320 to silence critical media voices.

00:24:19.380 So we've established that Mr. Carney doesn't like the free press.

00:24:22.960 And he has a hard time sticking to the facts.

00:24:25.820 Now, the only question that remains is,

00:24:28.540 what is he trying to hide?

00:24:31.420 Is it to do with his financial stake and where his money is invested?

00:24:35.200 He still hasn't told us what he's going to do.

00:24:37.700 And we've been trying to get this information

00:24:39.580 and what you're going to do about

00:24:41.300 putting your conflict of interest disclosures to the public.

00:24:45.500 They have ducked that over and over again.

00:24:47.940 And there's a reason for this,

00:24:49.800 is that it takes 60 days to declare,

00:24:53.040 once you become prime minister,

00:24:54.380 60 days to declare your conflict

00:24:57.180 and 120 days to declare it to the public.

00:25:00.220 If he bides by that,

00:25:01.960 then the election will be over

00:25:03.420 before we even know what his financial interests are.

00:25:05.720 Or is it his involvement with the many organizations

00:25:08.500 that he claimed to have resigned from?

00:25:11.120 I am no longer a senior executive of Brookfield.

00:25:14.740 I am no longer a senior executive at Bloomberg.

00:25:17.380 I am no longer on the board of Stripe.

00:25:20.300 I am no longer on the board of PIMCO.

00:25:23.820 I am no longer on the board of any of my commercial activities.

00:25:29.900 I am no longer the UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance.

00:25:33.940 So all of those roles, I resigned today.

00:25:36.680 Well, that didn't turn out to be true either,

00:25:38.320 as the National Post reported that it spoke to numerous organizations

00:25:41.640 that Carney had been affiliated with

00:25:43.400 up until his leadership race announcement

00:25:45.380 and found that he still remains involved with at least five of them.

00:25:49.360 Likewise, as reported by True North,

00:25:51.820 Mark Carney's name and face was still active

00:25:54.480 on the Global Carbon Marketing Utilities page,

00:25:57.280 which listed Carney as a co-chair up until late February.

00:26:01.480 Or is Mark Carney trying to hide something different?

00:26:04.080 Something maybe darker? 0.84

00:26:05.140 Perhaps his mysterious relationship with disgraced pedophiles

00:26:09.120 like Jelaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, or perhaps even Jeffrey Epstein?

00:26:14.160 Or is it simply because he just doesn't always know what he's talking about?

00:26:18.600 Biggest supplier of fertilizer, biggest supplier of aluminum,

00:26:21.840 biggest supplier of semiconductors.

00:26:24.380 We supply almost all their semiconductors.

00:26:26.820 That whole, you know, everybody in the White House is a tech bro except for Trump.

00:26:30.020 They all need semiconductors.

00:26:32.040 They all come from Canada.

00:26:36.360 Maybe they won't.

00:26:37.500 Maybe one day they won't show up.

00:26:39.240 Or maybe he just doesn't like to be asked uncomfortable questions,

00:26:42.500 like his views on contentious social issues,

00:26:45.080 like boys playing in girl sports,

00:26:47.380 men invading women's spaces, 0.99

00:26:49.460 or the irreversible damage that comes from cross-sex chemical and surgical treatments

00:26:54.760 pushed by so-called progressives onto confused young Canadians.

00:26:59.340 We know he's woke and that he wants to promote the radical doctrine

00:27:02.560 of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

00:27:04.820 While America engages in a war on woke,

00:27:07.720 Canadians will continue to value inclusiveness.

00:27:11.080 Mark Carney may have been hand-selected to become prime minister

00:27:15.040 by liberal insiders and delegates,

00:27:17.340 but he's still an unelected official

00:27:19.040 who does not hold a seat in the House of Commons,

00:27:21.580 the first time that this has ever happened in Canadian history.

00:27:24.520 Mark Carney, if he won, would become the first liberal leader

00:27:27.940 who has never won an actual election anywhere, ever.

00:27:31.660 It's hard to claim that you're a liberal and a defender of democracy

00:27:34.720 when you use illiberal tactics to avoid facing a free press or the electorate.

00:27:41.020 And this could be the most worrying thing about Mark Carney.

00:27:44.140 He considers himself a globalist and an elitist,

00:27:47.420 but excuses it by saying that that is exactly what our country needs.

00:27:52.760 My strength is I know how the world works.

00:27:54.820 I know how to get things done.

00:27:56.240 I'm connected.

00:27:57.360 I can deliver for the country.

00:27:58.940 And my weakness is, you know, people will charge me as being elitist

00:28:03.180 or, you know, globalist, to use that term, which is,

00:28:07.820 well, that's exactly, you know, it happens to be exactly what we need.

00:28:11.520 Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mark Carney, Canada's new prime minister

00:28:15.880 and our first ever totally unelected prime minister in Canadian history.

00:28:21.740 Please share this video so that more Canadians can learn the truth.

00:28:25.760 Thank you so much.

00:28:26.880 I'm Candice Malcolm for Juno News.

00:28:29.040 Thank you and God bless.
