Carney is Trump’s preferred candidate – Why Carney will be weak against America

Mark Carney owns over 400,000 stocks in his former company Brookfield – many Canadians would be shocked to find how much of the unelected Prime Minister’s portfolio is rooted in America and China.

Canadians may also be appalled to learn just how much the Prime Minister’s former company is invested in foreign oil and gas pipelines. The truth of the matter is Carney is a lifelong banker and investor – he’s a man who views the world not through a nationalist viewpoint but rather through an international lens.

You see Carney doesn’t care where he makes his money – he is not loyal to Canada in any way, shape or form when it comes to the investments that his company Brookfield made. In fact, his heavy exposure to USA energy markets and the heavy reliance of those investments to export to China make him the ideal candidate for foreign interference.

It could be argued that Carney’s many investments in foreign oil and gas might also be an incentive to not develop Canada’s oil and gas industry. Why develop Canada when it would hurt your investments abroad? Is it any wonder why Carney hasn’t wanted to disclose what his investments were that were placed into a “blind trust”? Carney has the foresight to see that it would be bad optics if Canadians were to find out the truth.

Just how heavily invested is Brookfield in China and the United States? Well as one example, Brookfield holds over $5 billion in stock for US LNG company, Cheniere energy. The company has been busy brokering deals with China. That’s why, the company will be providing 1.8 million tons of LNG to China every year for the next 20 years.

Brookfield also hold a large portfolio of real estate in the United States and in China. In the United States, Brookefield owns buildings like the Dreamworks animation studio. In China, Brookefield has over $3 billion dollars in politically sensitive investments with Chinese state-linked real estate and energy companies.

This to me, would indicate that Carney is an ideal candidate for foreign influence operations. He has millions of dollars in investments that could be adversely impacted if he doesn’t play ball with the United States and China.

This brings a whole different perspective to Trump’s comments that indicate he preferred a Liberal government here in Canada. All these American assets that Carney is invested in would make him easier to deal with, wouldn’t it?

The other thing these insights do is show Canadians the utter hypocrisy of Mark Carney and his Liberal party. It’s ok to have huge investments in oil and gas in other countries but Canada can’t develop our resources?

So let’s get this straight Mr. Carney. You can hold millions of dollars in investments in foreign oil and gas companies but Canadians can’t get rid of Liberal imposed energy sector caps and you won’t commit to an east-west pipeline project? I wonder if Mr. Carney would say that companies like Cheniere energy, whom he holds investments with via Brookefield should have energy sector caps as well?

It seems clear that Carney is not a green agenda pusher by any measure but instead he is an elitist that benefits from his investments in foreign countries when Canada doesn’t succeed.

Carney is vulnerable to American and Chinese pressure which makes him an ideal candidate in Trump’s eyes. He will be easier to deal with for the Trump White House. Carney hasn’t lived in Canada for over a decade but we’re to believe the lie that he’s a patriotic Canadian who will stand firm against Trump?
