Carney is just another Harper.
What are you talking about? Harper was one of our greatest prime ministers ever. Canada was doing pretty well until 2015. We handled the '08 crash better than all other G7 countries. Harper was not a billionaire like Carney. I doubt Harper was worth more than $20 million before he was prime minister.
The biggest scandal during Harper’s leadership was a $16 glass of orange juice. Trudeau had numerous $100million to $1billion dollar scandals.
Agree. How much money and power does a 60 year old billionaire need? So what if he has to sell everything? That is how we ensure no conflicts of interest.
They get a raise every year on April 1st. Ugh. Taxpayers are fools every April Fools Day. They also get huge expense accounts and properties they can use like Harrington Lake cottage. They get free travel all over the world. They don’t need a huge raise, they don’t do that much or work that hard.
Business people in public office is not a bad thing on its own. It is good to have people that understand how to grow a business and manage it. A CEO has executive experience running a large company, that is great experience for being prime minister. There are just as many corrupt people in charity/non-profit world as business. Neither is morally virtuous or immoral.
Often business people sell off their investments when they take office, either forced by law or do so voluntarily. Carney hasn’t sold anything, just put it all in a blind trust. I have zero faith in that. He is still having private meetings with top executives from Brookfield and he knows Brookfield’s holdings, so he can put public money toward projects that will personally benefit him. Ex: wind turbines, solar panels, heat pumps etc. Brookfield is heavily invested in these.
Trudeau is a smooth brain nepo baby. I don’t give a shit what he says. Fuck that guy, he should be in jail.
