Mark Carney just wrote his own attack ad.

The millionaire governor of two central banks, an Oxford & Harvard-educated, in-law of hereditary peer Lord Rotherwick, is using Trudeau's closest advisors to help him win the Liberal leadership.

🧵 on the self-proclaimed "Outsider"👇 Image
Let's start from the top. Here he is with then-Prince Charles, now King Charles III. They've met multiple times. Not much more 'insider' than the King. express.co.uk/news/royal/740…Image
He also got to know Queen Elizabeth II quite well. independent.co.uk/news/people/pr…Image
How about his good friend Mike Bloomberg? He's worth more than US$96B, according to Forbes. Mike made Carney chairman of his board. They both like lavish parties & fighting climate change. bbc.com/news/business-…Image
Image
But how rich is Mark Carney?

Hard to say. Multimillionaire for sure. Billionaire? Gotta be close. His salary as Bank of England governor was over $1.5M CAD a year, plus benefits & housing allowance. He probably banked it all. He even made $1000 renting out his 🇨🇦 home while in the UK. londonlovesbusiness.com/how-rich-is-ma…Image
That doesn't even get into his other board appointments or his time with Brookfield.

He likely richer than Trudeau. But mind you, Carney actually had to work for his money. Image
As mentioned above, Carney's brother-in-law sits in the House of Lords (as a Tory). As you know, most 'Outsiders' have hereditary peers as family.

Much of Mark's UK connectedness is through his wife Diana, who he met at Oxford (low-end university on par with Carleton).

express.co.uk/expressyoursel…
Diana Carney is the real activist in the family. Described as a "hippie," she is linked to all sorts of global enviro causes.

She also had a tough time finding a home in London. cbc.ca/news/business/…Image
Presently, Diana Carney works for Eurasia Group in Ottawa. Who else works for Eurasia Group in Ottawa? If you guessed Trudeau's best friend Gerry Butts, you get a prize. eurasiagroup.net/people/dfox-ca…Image
Image
The Carneys run in celebrity circles here, in the UK, & around the world. Here they are at Wimbledon with Jude Law. Image
Image
Here are Mark and Diana Carney with Ghislaine Maxwell, the now jailed ex-girlfriend of the late Jeffrey Epstein, who didn't kill himself. 😬 torontosun.com/opinion/column…Image
Back in Canada, Carney settled nicely into the insider corporate welfare gig pretty easily. Got multimillion dollar job as Brookfield and immediately got to work on getting handouts. Here he is with millionaire Telesat CEO Dan Goldberg, who is a real pro at getting govt handouts. nationalpost.com/opinion/first-…Image
Last but not least, here's Carney getting the Trudeau Creep Hug from the ultimate insider himself & the man who hand-picked Carney to take over after him: Justin Trudeau. Image
This 🧵 is just a quick little thing I put together.

Mark Carney calling himself an outsider is akin to 'Just Visiting' Michael Ignatieff or Stephane Dion's "Do you think it's easy to set priorities?"

Carney is done.

You'll see all these references & more if he wins the leadership.

Immigration in Canada.

Who wants to talk about it?

Conservatives do. In fact they have a 2-hour meeting today to clarify policy on it.

Since about half of the CPC Caucus follows me on here, it's a good place to drop your comments on Canada's immigration policy.

I'll start👇
Everyone knows it's an issue, but there are disagreements in Caucus about how strong a stance needs to be taken.

Today's meeting may do it, or there may be more to come. Everyone needs to sing off the same hymn sheet.

It will take work.

Provinces - even regions and cities in the same province - are really different when it comes to immigration needs or lack thereof.
Just one such example: high seasonal tourism areas rely on TFWs. Often the local real estate market is geared towards second homes & rentals. There isn't affordable real estate for actual Canadians to live and work there with hospitality wages.

Agricultural areas - especially fruit and vegetables - suffer from a need for massive numbers of pickers for like a month or two. That's all. Sometimes it can be locals, but the picking season corresponds usually with the school year. Not entirely feasible to do it only with locals.

Correspondence to an MP.

Just want to highlight a few things & give some clarity to folks about it.

I welcome feedback & happy to try to answer any questions folks have about day-to-day life on the Hill.

Small 🧵 on sending emails to MPs👇

First point about correspondence:

1) If you're not from the riding we don't care.Image
Now, that's not to say your issue is not important, but MPs can get hundreds of emails a day. Some original, many automated ones.

They - or more specifically their staff - have more than enough to do without answering messages from outside the riding.

Fun fact: MPs are answerable to their constituents, not ALL Canadians.
2) The actual MP almost never answers your email.

Occasionally if they know the person or it's a quick "hey MP, I'm happy you voted this way," the MP may send a quick reply. But 99+% of the time it is staff sending the email.

Oh? Your reply was signed by the MP?

Lol. No it wasn't. Staff have access to the "MP" accounts and send emails on the MP's behalf with the MP's signature.

(All MPs have their own private parl accounts which are not public for important correspondence)

Ever wonder why an MP doesn't just create a Bill for something?

Or did you see a loopy Bill and worry it may get passed?

Well, the "Results of the draw for Private Members’ Business" should interest you then.

This not-so-exciting sentence actually plays an important role in determining which Private Members' Bills make it to a vote.

It's a pretty misunderstood part of the parliamentary process, so here is a small (& somewhat nerdy & procedural)🧵 for you:
I see a lot of stuff online where people freak out over some Bill (like guaranteed annual income) because they 1) don't understand the difference between Government and Private Members' Bills (PMB) and/or they don't understand the PMB process.
Before we tackle PMBs, let's get Government Bills out of the way.

Government Bills start with C-1 (Commons-1) and go from there.

They went as high as C-79 in the last Parliament.

These Bills are put forward by the government and have the full weight of the government behind them.

They also get the most debate time in the House.

They are for your standard things like the budget, changes to laws etc.

60 of them passed in the last Parliament.

🚨Absolutely SHOCKING report quietly released by the Government in January which predicts what Canada may look like in 15 years.🚨

A must read!

I've seen some references to it on here, but no summaries of the whole report. I decided to dig a little deeper. 🧵👇 Image
First things first, thanks to @hollyanndoan of Blacklock's Reporter for bringing it to the public's attention. It's how I discovered it.
The document was released by Policy Horizons, which is a bit of an internal Think Tank for the gov't. Image

Alright folks.

🚨Here it is!🚨

Finally found some time to review all the messages and do some checking on the Do You Believe the Polls sweater people.

I'm still missing some pieces, so feel free to comment or DM me. I will keep it anonymous.

Here we go 🧵👇 Image
First of all, the man and woman on the right are Paul and Shara Micucci. They are husband & wife and are the Chair and the Founder of the Meadowvale Business Association (MBA) in Mississauga. Some others have some resemblance to others in Association photos, but I can't be as certain.Image
Paul and Shara (and much of the MBA) have a close relationship with Doug Ford and the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario (PCPO). Image

How did Chandra Arya's son become Director & CFO of Infrastructure for India at Mark Carney's company?👇 Image
He's 32. Has only a BComm from Carleton (!) & yet he is handling billion-dollar transactions for Brookfield in India? Seems odd to me.

One would expect someone a little more experienced with maybe an MA from a more prestigious school? Harvard? Even Rotman or John Molson. Image
Now Siddanth Arya has been with Brookfield before Sir Carney got there. But his time there does jive with how long the Liberals have been in office. 24 year old graduate. Dad used a connection & got him a job as an Analyst. Seems legit. Image
