This answer is shameful.
Not fitting of a Prime Minister who has obligations when it comes to First Nations and reconciliation.
Further proof that Mark Carney isn’t in it for Indigenous and Northern communities.
He isn’t in it for regions like ours.

Over the last year & a half, Liberals made Canada complicit in Israeli war crimes.
They've sent a record high $20+ million in explosives & military components to Israel.
Carney's Liberals won't be any different.

On Wednesday Mark Carney refused to say if he still holds $6.8 million in Brookfield stock options. He even bizarrely claimed "I own nothing but cash and personal real estate."
He should be clear: What did he put in the blind trust and what stock options does he hold?

A Liberal banker who is not part of the solution when it comes to Reconciliation and has spent their career helping the rich get richer, a Conservative party that's inspired by Trump, and the NDP that has delivered to expand healthcare.

While Carney was in charge of Brookfields "green" energy strategy, Mississauga First Nation was forced to sue the company for violating their treaty rights over hydro dams.
