He wasn&#8217;t CEO of Brookfield. He was its chairman, overseeing quarterly board meetings and spending the rest of his time flying around to different globalist conferences at the UN or WEF.<\/p>\n<p>He was more of a mascot, a symbol, an ambassador of Brookfield. He didn&#8217;t negotiate deals or turn around companies. He did photo-ops.<\/p>\n<p>Before that, he worked at the Bank of England, and before that, the Bank of Canada.<\/p>\n<p>No Googling: can you name a single actual duty of that job? Can you tell me what Carney actually achieved?<\/p>\n<p>He wafted up from fake job to fake job &mdash; like Justin Trudeau did, but instead of being a surf instructor and a substitute teacher, he had meaningless executive jobs.<\/p>\n<p>And now when it&#8217;s time to shine &#8230; he doesn&#8217;t know what to do.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a year, and he has no deal with Trump, despite saying that was his chief focus.<\/p>\n<p>What exactly did he achieve in Beijing? The tariffs against Saskatchewan were lifted &mdash; so that merely brings us back to the status quo ten months ago. Nothing else. No investments in Canada, which was the pretext of the trip. Just a capitulations, to allow the dumping of 49,000 Chinese EV cars, with their spyware and malware.<\/p>\n<p>But he looks good in a suit and says ponderous words like &#8220;catalyze&#8221; and &#8220;transformative&#8221;. And that&#8217;s enough to impress the Parliamentary Press Gallery. Not that they needed much impressing &mdash; they&#8217;re all on his payroll already, through his massive journalism subsidies. They&#8217;re too busy holding the opposition to account to take notice of this latest disaster.<\/p>\n<p>But the regime media shouldn&#8217;t feel too bad about being conned. Carney tricked Doug Ford pretty good, didn&#8217;t he?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the social media site formerly known as Twitter, Ezra Levant explains the various jobs Mark Carney has held compared to what many Canadians think he&#8217;s done: Laura Stone @l_stone Unifor President Lana Payne calls China EV deal &#8220;a self-inflicted wound to an already injured Canadian auto industry&#8221;.
