Two powerful men secretly orchestrated Canada's financial destiny for over a decade.
One was caught in a MASSIVE money laundering scandal.
The other just became Prime Minister.
No one's talking about their connection. Until now...

Frank McKenna: TD Bank's Deputy Chair since 2006.
Mark Carney: Former Bank of England Governor.
One stayed in boardrooms. The other now controls Canada's government.
But they intersected at one crucial place that changed everything:
Brookfield Asset Management.

October 2024: TD Bank pleads GUILTY to money laundering. $3.1 BILLION in fines.
The bank admitted helping drug cartels move dirty money for nearly a DECADE.
All while McKenna was Deputy Chair — a position with direct oversight of bank risk and compliance.

How does a Deputy Chair — one of the most senior positions — remain unaware of decade-long criminal activity within his own bank?
It's hard to imagine McKenna, a former Premier and Ambassador, didn't know SOMETHING was happening.
But the story gets more interesting...

Meanwhile, in 2020, Mark Carney joins Brookfield Asset Management.
Who's been Chairman of Brookfield's Board since 2010?
Frank McKenna — the same TD Bank executive whose bank just got caught laundering money.
Coincidence? Let's dig deeper...

At Brookfield, McKenna and Carney formed a powerful alliance.
McKenna: The board gatekeeper
Carney: The visionary pushing billions into "green" investments
Together, they reshaped one of the world's largest asset managers while cultivating political influence.

Think about this timeline:
• TD Bank laundering money (during McKenna's watch)
• McKenna brings Carney to Brookfield
• Carney becomes Chair of Brookfield
• Carney suddenly leaves to run for Prime Minister
• McKenna publicly endorses him

Carney's rise to Prime Minister in March 2025 seemed meteoric to most Canadians.
But was it really? Or was it the culmination of years of careful positioning, with McKenna pulling strings from corporate boardrooms?

The questions we should be asking:
• Did McKenna know about TD's money laundering?
• Was Carney's position at Brookfield a strategic stepping stone?
• Who really benefits from having a former central banker as PM?
• Why did Carney leave Brookfield so abruptly?

Consider the unprecedented access these two now have:
• McKenna: Connected to TD Bank and Brookfield
• Carney: Running Canada's government
A former banker and central banker now control both corporate policy AND government policy.

• Carney: Running Canada's government

And their biggest shared agenda?
The "green transition" — redirecting TRILLIONS from traditional industries into new "sustainable" investments.
Funds that Brookfield is perfectly positioned to manage.

Let's not forget: TD's $3.1 billion fine is just a cost of doing business for a bank that size.
No executives went to jail. No personal accountability.
Just a fine that shareholders ultimately pay for.

Meanwhile, McKenna continues as a power broker, with his protégé now sitting in the Prime Minister's office.
The same office that regulates banks like TD and investment firms like Brookfield.
Convenient, isn't it?

This isn't just about two powerful men.
It's about an interconnected system where political power, financial influence, and corporate governance blur together.
Where those at the top protect each other while crafting narratives about "progress."

We're not claiming conspiracy. We're simply connecting publicly available dots.
When the same people rotate between banks, asset managers, and government leadership, shouldn't we ask questions?

The next time someone talks about the "green transition" or "sustainable investing," ask yourself:
Who's really benefiting? The planet? Or the power players who control the money flows?
And how many more scandals remain hidden from public view?

I'm not saying anything illegal or improper happened.
That has not been proven (other than TD Bank admitting guilt).
I'm just asking questions most mainstream media won't.
It feels like there are connections we're not supposed to notice.
