Mark Carney: The Banker Who Would Be King – CEO of the 1%

Let’s talk about Mark Carney — the man with the resume so international, it makes James Bond look provincial. Former central banker, private equity exec, United Nations climate czar, and now… Prime Minister of Canada. But hold your polite applause. Behind the carefully curated image of Canada’s finance golden boy lies a tangled web of global entanglements, financial alliances, and cozy ties to regimes and corporations that raise more than just an eyebrow.

You may know Carney as the guy who ran the Bank of Canada, then crossed the pond to helm the Bank of England — because nothing says I’m totally devoted to Canada like jumping ship to save the British pound. Then came the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, Goldman Sachs, Bloomberg, Brookfield, PIMCO, Stripe, the Financial Stability Board, and the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero — a coalition so bureaucratically long-winded it sounds like it was named by a climate intern on day five of no sleep.

This guy didn’t just climb the globalist ladder — he built it. And now, after years of flying business class through the Davos circuit and cozying up with corporate titans, he wants Canadians to believe he’s here for you. The little guy. The nurse in Sudbury. The farmer in Saskatchewan. The Uber driver in Scarborough. Right.

But let’s get real: when your résumé reads like the guest list at the Bilderberg Conference, you’re not running for Prime Minister — you’re running for CEO of the country.

Follow the Money… All the Way to Shanghai

Let’s talk about China. Because, like most ex-bankers with global ambitions, Carney’s past leads us straight into the gilded arms of the Chinese Communist Party — albeit through the revolving door of private equity.

From 2020 to 2023, Carney served as Vice Chair of Brookfield Asset Management, a company that doesn’t just dabble in China — it bathes in it. In 2013, Brookfield threw down a cool $750 million for a 22% stake in China Xintiandi, working with Hong Kong tycoon Vincent Lo — a man tight with the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, which is basically the Communist Party’s idea of a “suggestion box.”

Then, just as the Chinese real estate market began its spectacular nose-dive in 2024, Brookfield — under Carney’s chairmanship — cozied up for a $276 million refinancing loan from none other than the state-owned Bank of China. Yep. While Western nations were decoupling from Beijing and waving red flags about economic espionage, Brookfield was busy dialing 1-800-COMRADE for some emergency cash.

Now, Carney defenders will say — and they always do — “But those were professional roles. He wasn’t acting in a personal capacity.” Sure. And the fox guarding the henhouse was just doing his job, too.

So What’s the Conflict? You Tell Me.

Let’s play a little game called “If This Was a Conservative, What Would Happen?” Imagine a right-leaning candidate — say, one with a résumé including big-dollar dealings with Russian oligarchs or oil tycoons — was running to be PM. Would CBC shrug? Would The Globe say, “That’s just business”? Hell no. They’d be live-blogging the ethics inquiry before the first press conference.

But Carney? He’s the Liberal messiah. The man who says all the right climate-y things while managing trillions in fossil-fueled assets. The guy who headed up ESG at Brookfield while borrowing money from the same regime that’s building coal plants faster than you can say carbon offset.

Let’s not forget PIMCO, another of Carney’s former dance partners, managing billions across Asia. Or Stripe, where he sat on the board while the company expanded its payment infrastructure deep into Chinese markets. Or GFANZ, a net-zero alliance that talks big on climate while wrangling investments from — you guessed it — the same institutions financing rainforest clearcutting and coal-fired plants.

What Happens When Globalists Govern?

Here’s the danger: Mark Carney doesn’t just have international ties — he is an international tie. His loyalty isn’t to Canada. It’s to the “rules-based global order,” to the WEF, the G30, and every alphabet-soup acronym that keeps elite financiers comfortable and accountable to no one.

This isn’t just about China, or finance, or climate hypocrisy. It’s about trust. Can Canadians trust a man who’s spent more time rubbing elbows in Davos than on the TTC? Who speaks fluent central banker but couldn’t tell you the price of a jug of milk in Moose Jaw? Who spent his entire adult life profiting from the very global systems that hollowed out middle-class jobs and left small towns gasping?

Final Thought

If Carney becomes the face of Canadian politics, then what you’re getting is not leadership — it’s a hostile takeover. A hostile takeover by global finance, by unchecked technocracy, and by a man who’s just a little too comfortable making deals behind closed doors while telling Canadians, “Trust me — I know what’s best.”

Mark Carney isn’t the saviour of Canada.

He’s the CFO of the 1%.

And they’re doing just fine.
