        They didn’t. They’re assuming that because Carney has had business success, that anything he does in government will be corruption to line his own pockets.

        When someone has the credentials and success of running national banks, they generally are very good at compartmentalization and are better at it than the shitty slumlords like Marty Morantz.

          “business success” is quite the euphemism for “presided, until January, over one of the world largest residential housing investment firm, and the single largest residential landlord in San Francisco.” Something that is extremely relevant to the topic at hand. And nowhere did I say corruption, no need to strawman me. I said his housing plan is almost certainly going to favour large corporate and investment interests.

          You clearly saw the news article I posted and just decided you’d ignore it, if that isn’t bad faith I don’t know what is.

            You made a 100% completely false claim then try to gaslight the guy when he calls you out?

            Go back to your hole man.

              What is false about the claim? C’mon, address the point directly instead of platitudes, euphemisms, and strawman’s.

              Was Carney not the president of Brookfield until January? Is Brookfield not hold a massive amount of residential real estate?

                It doesn’t matter what carney was the president off. You said that Brookfield would be the owner of these houses, and based of the evidence we have and you provided, there is zero proof that that’s the case.

                There is nothing else really to discuss. You made something up and stared it as fact, and you acknowledge that it’s at best a guess based off weak connections.

        I’m being slightly hyperbolic. But Carney was the president of Brookfield until January. Brookfield is a massive world wide investment firm who’s portfolio includes massive real estate’s investments. It’s not difficult to put two and two together.

        De passage à Toronto mardi, M. Singh a donné la parole à une dame nommée Erin Filby qui réside dans un immeuble récemment acheté par Brookfield.

        Les nouveaux locataires du bâtiment, dit-elle, paient maintenant le double du prix pour leur loyer.

        Mme Filby ne rejette pas la faute au visage de M. Carney, mais en veut à la spéculation immobilière et à Brookfield

        Brookfield et son associé Ballast Investments sont les plus gros propriétaires de logements de San Francisco.
