Mostly False

Fact Check: Carney has massive direct ties to Trump and Elon Musk. 1. Carney moved Brookfield asset management to NY only 6 days after Trump imposes tariffs. This makes Trump happy. 2. Carney will not get rid of bill C69 which is no new pipelines in Canada. So this means most of our oil and gas continues to go to Trump in the US. We need to be independent. Again siding with Trump, Trump is very happy. 3. Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner was in financial trouble and Carney’s company Brookfield signed a 99 year lease on his property at 666 fifth ave for 1.1 billion with all funds up front (unheard of terms) this cements Trumps admiration for Carney and Carney is now considered family. 4. Carney had Brookfield asset management bail out Elon Musk (Twitter) when he had the big buyout. This is Trumps best buddy and considers Carney also a big business partner with him now. 5. Trump publicly stated that he prefers dealing with the liberals as they never say anything bad about him but Pierre stands up for Canada and says Canada will never be the 51st state and he doesn’t like that. Trump says he wants to deal with Carney. 6. Carney has used off shore banking to hide Brookfields income and owes 5.3 billion to the government over the last 15 years. The address for the account in Bermuda is a bike shop. Carney says it’s legal to hide money and not pay taxes. 7. Liberals had the government prorogued for 3 months while they played around with who could take over while Trump dumped tariffs on us. 8. Carney’s company Brookfield intends to build homes to rent to Canadians with our tax dollars and Brookfield being the owner. 9. Carney sells Canadian dirty coal to China and India then blames us with contributing 1.5% of the worlds carbon and carbon taxes us to death meanwhile China is at 32% of the world’s carbon that Carney helped them get to. What a hypocrite. 10. Carney kicks Chandra Arya to the curb who has won the last 3 elections in Nepean for the liberals. Carney took the easiest seat available to win to try to get an MP job. Another set up and another slimy move. 11. Carney’s company Brookfield has clear cut 9,000 hectares of rain forest in Brazil for pure profit. I thought his idea was net zero??!! 12. Mark Carney took an all expenses paid trip to the UK before he was even temporarily made PM. This is an unelected person getting a free $500,000 trip. This is unethical and he should have used his own money. 13. Carney has used his power to influence the UK to use more expensive jet fuel, then had his company Brookfield invest $1 billion to be able to profit from that. 14. Carney is proposing an altered much higher carbon tax on corporations that will dump down on citizens with no rebates. Carney says the carbon tax has been used sparingly and needs to be doubled. 15. Carney wants to institute carbon credits that will restrict travel in your vehicle and vacations but the ultra rich can buy your credits so they can still enjoy the world. Same as China. 16. Carney wants to bring in carbon tariffs, which is called a carbon border adjustment on any country that he feels doesn’t have a high enough carbon tax. This means the whole world. Carney thinks he’s in charge of the entire planet now. This will increase the price on all imported items we buy. You can only imagine what this will do to the cost of materials. 17. The former UK British Prime Minister Liz Truss has warned Canada to stay away from him and his disasterous Net Zero scams. As did the Mayor of Lima, Peru. 18. Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss on Mark Carney: "I strongly recommend not backing Mark Carney for his policies on Net Zero. It was disastrous for Britain. It would be disastrous for Canada. She stated he printed too much money and put their economy off track. After he left his successors have struggled to clear up the mess. Inflation spiked to 11.1 % in the UK compared to 5.2% in France. 19. Mayor Lopez Aliaga of Lima Peru said Brookfield, chaired by Carney, was “making massive profits off a toxic contract” plagued by bribes. 20. The Municipality of Lima is currently suing Brookfield (Carney is part of Brookfield asset management) in a New York City court. It’s part of an ongoing legal battle that has been going on for years. Mark Carney and Brookfield instituted tolls on the poorest people that took 1/3 of their monthly income. 21. Carney lied when he said he would build LNG pipelines across Canada to the west in English, the told Quebec in French, never without their permission! 22. Carney lied straight to everyone's faces in the debate, when he said he had nothing to do with Brookfield leaving Canada for the USA. Actually he was still Chair and recommended the move 6 days after Trump announced the tariffs. So this was a move to please Trump and avoid Canadas taxes and Trumps tariffs. 23. Brookfield owns pipelines in other countries and Carney has fought tooth and nail not to have Canada’s resources hit the open market. This is loss of profit for his company. Conservatives have fought for this for years. Now Carney and the liberals are campaigning to do this. This will end up being another lie just to get votes. 24. Carney lied when he said he worked with Paul Martin on balancing the federal budget, when he was at Goldman Sachs at that time as a Wall Street banker. 25. Carney lied when he said he helped save Canada during the 2008 banking crisis. It was not him who steered Canada away from the disaster that the "Bankers" like him at Goldman Sachs caused, it was the late Jim Flaherty. 26. Carney is involved in the Century Initiative, which was created to increase Canada's population to 100 million by 2050 that’s over 2 million per year that tax payers have to foot the bill. No matter how devastating the costs, and an end to Canadian Identity as we know it. All for profit. They have a website where you can read all about it. Trudeau brought in 1 million per year over 3 years and crashed our housing and healthcare. 27. Carney refuses to declare his assets before becoming the Pm and put them in a blind trust. That’s why the election was called with minimal notice. 28. Carney’s competitors were illegally eliminated before the liberal mini election to purposely to give Carney the job even though they raised the $350K. Ruby Dhalla is one of them, and Chandra Arya is another. Now Carney took his riding. 29. Carney says he would implement the emergency act against tariffs if necessary again. 30. In Carney’s own book he states capitalism is evil and rigid controls on personal freedoms, industry and corporations are necessary. Poverty will definitely happen but for the good of world order. In other words personal freedom is not an option. 31. Carney and the others that fought for the PM job (in the liberal debate) were forbidden to discuss the fentanyl crisis, homelessness, immigration, border issues, bail reform, China foreign interference or mass debt issues. This is from Trudeau himself. If Carney will lie this much before the election then refuse to follow all the proper ethics and conflict investigations, then he is going to continue to lie well after he gets in office. This is just another Justin Trudeau! Liar Personified! This is who Trudeau wants in office as Prime Minister without him ever being elected. His partner in corruption, greed, and immorality. Except he is even better connected, and established with the funds behind him. And soon he will have access to all of Canadas fund and Information about all companies for when he returns to the private sector. Ask yourself, why is a guy making $20 million a year here to make $203,000 as an MP (which Carney is not one) plus $203,000 for prime minister. = $406,000

The Claim: Mark Carney's Alleged Ties to Trump and Elon Musk

Introduction

The claim surrounding Mark Carney suggests that he has extensive and questionable connections to both former President Donald Trump and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk. The assertions range from Carney's business dealings and political maneuvers to accusations of unethical behavior and conflicts of interest. This article will explore the various elements of the claim, examining the evidence and context surrounding each point.

What We Know

  1. Brookfield Asset Management and Jared Kushner: Brookfield Asset Management, where Carney previously served as CEO, signed a 99-year lease on Jared Kushner's property at 666 Fifth Avenue for $1.1 billion upfront in 2018. This deal has been scrutinized for its favorable terms and its timing amidst Kushner's financial difficulties 35.

  2. Carney's Political Stance: Carney has been criticized for his position on Canadian energy policies, particularly regarding Bill C-69, which aims to regulate pipeline projects. Critics argue that this stance aligns with U.S. interests, particularly those of Trump 69.

  3. Allegations of Influence and Ethics: Carney has faced scrutiny over his past as Governor of the Bank of England and his role in various financial institutions. Critics claim he has used his influence to benefit Brookfield and its interests, particularly in relation to environmental policies and carbon taxes 89.

  4. Environmental Policies: Carney has been involved in discussions about carbon taxes and climate change initiatives. Some sources allege that his policies disproportionately affect lower-income individuals while favoring wealthier corporations 9.

  5. Legal Issues in Peru: Brookfield is reportedly involved in legal disputes in Peru, with allegations of corruption and exploitation of local resources, which have raised ethical questions about Carney's leadership 9.

  6. Political Aspirations: Carney has been mentioned as a potential candidate for leadership positions within the Canadian government, leading to speculation about his motivations and connections to influential figures like Trudeau and Trump 68.

Analysis

The claims regarding Carney's ties to Trump and Musk are complex and multifaceted. The sources cited provide a mix of factual reporting, opinion pieces, and speculative assertions.

  • Source Reliability:

    • The New York Times and AP News are generally considered reliable sources, providing well-researched articles based on factual reporting 234. However, opinion pieces from outlets like the National Post and Juno News may exhibit bias, particularly if they align with specific political agendas 67.
    • Substack articles, while they can provide in-depth analysis, often lack the editorial oversight of traditional news outlets, which raises questions about their reliability 9.
  • Conflicts of Interest: Some sources may have inherent biases based on their affiliations or the political leanings of their readership. For instance, conservative outlets may portray Carney in a more negative light, while liberal sources might downplay the controversies surrounding him 78.

  • Methodology and Evidence: The claims about Carney's influence and actions often rely on anecdotal evidence or interpretations of his business decisions. For example, the assertion that Carney's policies are designed to benefit Trump lacks concrete evidence linking specific actions to direct outcomes for Trump or his administration 69.

  • Missing Information: Additional context regarding Carney's decision-making processes, the full scope of Brookfield's business dealings, and more comprehensive data on the environmental impact of his policies would be beneficial to fully assess the validity of these claims.

Conclusion

Verdict: Mostly False

The claims regarding Mark Carney's alleged ties to Donald Trump and Elon Musk are largely based on circumstantial evidence and speculative interpretations rather than concrete proof of direct connections. While there are valid concerns about Carney's business dealings and political stances, particularly regarding Brookfield Asset Management and environmental policies, the evidence does not substantiate the more extreme assertions of unethical behavior or direct influence over Trump or Musk.

It is important to note that while some of Carney's actions may raise ethical questions, the complexity of the relationships and the lack of definitive evidence linking him directly to Trump or Musk contribute to the "Mostly False" verdict. The claims often rely on interpretations that may not fully capture the nuances of Carney's professional landscape.

Moreover, the available evidence is limited and sometimes biased, which complicates the ability to draw firm conclusions. Readers are encouraged to critically evaluate the information presented and consider the broader context before forming their own opinions on the matter.
