OTTAWA – In a blistering House of Commons takedown, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre ripped the mask off Prime Minister Mark Carney’s alleged sweetheart deals with his former powerhouse firm, Brookfield Asset Management.
Poilievre laid out the damning pattern:
Carney pushed heat pump subsidies — while Brookfield sells the units.
Carney championed money-printing inflation — and Brookfield’s own CEO bragged it supercharges their profits on rate-based assets.
Carney successfully lobbied for mandates forcing airlines to buy far more expensive “sustainable” aviation fuel — right before Brookfield poured $1 BILLION into the exact same sector.
“This is not business. This is political manipulation,” Poilievre thundered. “It raises the cost of everything for everyone — especially those who don’t have political power.”
The fiery speech came during an opposition motion on sovereign wealth funds, shining a harsh light on how insiders write the rules, invest ahead of them, and leave ordinary Canadians footing the bill for higher fuel, heating, and flying costs.
