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"👇
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…
He also got to know Queen Elizabeth II quite well. independent.co.uk/news/people/pr…
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-…
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…

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.

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).

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/…

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…
The Carneys run in celebrity circles here, in the UK, & around the world. Here they are at Wimbledon with Jude Law.
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…
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-…
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.
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.
