Capital Gain Shenanigans

Sam Cooper- Fool Me Once: The Cost of Carney–Trudeau Tax Games

What about those Canadians who heeded the government’s signals? Consider the family that sold a cherished vacation property, or the entrepreneur who offloaded company shares pre-emptively to avoid a looming tax hike. Now, they find that the increase was never actually enforced. Incoming Liberal leader (and Prime Minister before the campaign writ was dropped) Mark Carney confirmed in early 2025 that the capital gains changes would not move forward at all.

Meanwhile, Ottawa has already happily counted the extra tax revenue generated from their asset sell-offs. It’s hard to escape the conclusion that these Canadians were sacrificial pawns in a larger power play.

The Libranos: Bedfellas

Thread by @SNewmanPodcast;

Two powerful men secretly orchestrated Canada’s financial destiny for over a decade.

One was caught in a MASSIVE money laundering scandal.

The other just became Prime Minister.

No one’s talking about their connection. Until now…

Frank McKenna: TD Bank’s Deputy Chair since 2006.

Mark Carney: Former Bank of England Governor.

One stayed in boardrooms. The other now controls Canada’s government.

But they intersected at one crucial place that changed everything: Brookfield Asset Management.

Our Chinese-Installed Governor In Ottawa

@RealAndyLeeShowI run all my best Canadian renewable energy money-maker corporate machines receiving tax-payer grants from Liberals through shell companies established in Bermuda so that I don’t pay taxes. You should too.

Thread: Let’s see how Mark Carney transferred the $15bn in BSREP III, Brookfield subsidiary’s assets, to a Bermuda entity. References come from Brookfield Interim Reports, SEC filings, parties to transactions, the Chinese govt, and Bloomberg.

Our Chinese-Installed Governor In Ottawa

@PierrePoilievre

BREAKING: In September, Mark Carney officially became the Chair of Trudeau’s Task Force on Economic Growth.

In October, Carney met with the Deputy Director of the People’s Bank of China.

Just two weeks later, news broke that Brookfield secured a quarter billion dollar loan from the Chinese state-owned bank.

Now he owes a hostile foreign regime. And his interests are against Canada’s interests. Why won’t he reveal to Canadians all his conflicts?

Related: He’s not selling those Brookfield shares because he’s not sure he’ll win.

Sun- Despite saying he would, Carney won’t take part in TVA debate

Liberal Leader Mark Carney, who despite suggesting on Monday that he’d take part in TVA’s French-language leaders debate, his campaign is reportedly saying he won’t.

“Liberal Leader Mark Carney will not participate in the TVA ‘Face à Face‘ debate, as per his campaign,” wrote Global Parliament Hill reporter Mackenzie Gray.

“No reason was provided by the party as to why he won’t participate.”

National Post- Mark Carney says ‘non merci’ to a French-language debate

OTTAWA — Liberal Leader Mark Carney lost the first French-language debate before it even started.

Melanie Joly, “I expect the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada to be fully bilingual.”

Unelected governor of Canada can’t get no respect.

Morning Star- Carney Believes Trump Waiting For Election Results Before Talking to Canadian Leader

Carney added that he is “available for a call” with Trump, “but we’re going to talk on our terms as a sovereign country.” Canada reached out last week to the White House for a call between Carney and Trump, but did not hear back, according to a government official.

About that Mike Myers cameo…

*historical reference

Update! The Carney campaign is off to a great start.

More than 50 Newfoundland and Labrador’s fish harvesters are outside Mark Carney’s rally in St. John’s. Police said they told them to move outside. The front doors are now locked.

The Libranos: Nice Riding You Have There

Be a shame if anything happened to it.

Chandra Arya, a Liberal backbench MP whose short-lived bid to replace Justin Trudeau as leader was cut short by the party, says he has been dropped as the candidate for the Ottawa riding of Nepean.

The 62-year-old has represented the riding since 2015.

National campaign director Andrew Bevan informed Arya of the decision in a letter Thursday, just days before an expected election call.

The move to remove him comes almost two months after the party also told Arya it would not accept him as a candidate for the party leadership.

Arya had already been nominated, but the letter says new information obtained by the party’s “green light committee” led the campaign co-chair to recommend that his “status as a candidate” be revoked.

Bevan does not include any details about the new information.

The only unfinished business is for our Chinese-installed Governor to smear Chandra Arya as a Chinese plant.

Today In The Vote Rich Rapey-Beheader Community

@MelissaLantsman

Once again, the Hamas-supporting mob will take to the streets of Toronto to explicitly deny Israel’s right to exist — the textbook definition of antisemitism.

Sights like these are no longer uncommon because Canada’s Liberal government has refused to stand against even the most vile behaviour happening in plain sight — in fact they’ve encouraged it with your tax dollars.

Our Canadian values are under attack right before our eyes – pretending not to see it is simply shameful.
