00:00:00.000 So Brian Lilly wrote this on X.
00:00:02.200 He wrote a column last week saying,
00:00:04.040 basically, it's not clear where Mark Kearney
00:00:06.460 has been living for the last few years.
00:00:08.320 We don't know where he's paying his taxes.
00:00:10.180 So let me just read his thread on X here.
00:00:12.720 He says, last week, I wrote a column
00:00:13.760 saying Mark Kearney was less than clear
00:00:16.000 about where he pays his personal taxes.
00:00:18.420 CTV picked up on the story this weekend,
00:00:20.660 and Kearney is still less than clear.
00:00:22.440 I'll explain why this matters.
00:00:24.800 Read the next tweet here.
00:00:25.680 It says, this is the simple question
00:00:27.640 I sent to Kearney's team.
00:00:29.160 Hello, given the accusation and claims by Conservative leader Pierre Polyev, could the campaign please inform me where Mr. Carney has filed his personal income taxes for the following years, 2020, 21, 22, 23, and 24?
00:00:43.940 Lily goes on, he says, we all pay taxes based on where we live or earn our incomes.
00:00:49.180 In 2020, Carney spent part of the year working in the UK as bank governor and presumably and understandably would have filed in the UK and Canada if he returned in Canada for the second half of the year.
00:01:00.400 What about the rest of those years?
00:01:01.900 Where did Mark Carney pay his personal income taxes?
00:01:04.800 This wasn't about how much he earned, but just where.
00:01:08.800 So he says this.
00:01:10.480 Here is the response Carney's team sent after a day of pondering.
00:01:13.920 quote mark carney has followed all the rules as a tax-paying resident of canada including while
00:01:20.780 filing returns in his years in the years you mentioned said campaign spokesman muhammad
00:01:25.800 hussein you can follow the rules and still not pay your income tax in canada if you are paying
00:01:31.320 income tax in another country that has a tax treaty like the uk ireland or the us now that
00:01:37.860 ctv has picked up on the story carney still isn't being clear mixed tenses muddles it and so this
00:01:43.880 is what CTV was reporting, this graphic here, Mark Carney pays income taxes in Canada and has
00:01:49.700 always followed all the rules as a taxpaying resident of Canada. You get that? Mark Carney
00:01:55.360 pays income taxes in Canada. Okay, so currently he does, right? In 2025, he became the Prime
00:02:01.980 Minister. He got a new job, Prime Minister of Canada. Presumably, he pays taxes on that income.
00:02:08.400 That's present tense, right? He pays income taxes today in Canada, but that's not what the question
00:02:13.720 is. The question is, where did you pay taxes for the last four years? Why does this matter?
00:02:17.820 Because we don't even know where Mark Kearney lives.
