In his time at Brookfield Asset Management, Liberal Leader Mark Carney personally co-chaired two investment funds dedicated to the transition to a net-zero carbon economy, worth a total of $25 billion.

Those funds were registered in Bermuda, among other locations, allowing investors to benefit from significant tax advantages, according to information obtained by Radio-Canada.

The funds created while Carney was on Brookfield's board of directors are the Brookfield Global Transition Fund ($15 billion) and the Brookfield Global Transition Fund II ($10 billion), launched in 2021 and 2024 respectively.

According to the Ontario Business Registry, the funds were registered in Bermuda under the names of BGTF Bermuda GP Ltd. and BGTF II Bermuda GP Ltd.

In both cases, the provincial registry indicates that the "governing jurisdiction" for the corporations is located in Bermuda.

Black and white photo of former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, shown in profile wearing a suit and tie. Beside him is a quote from 1980: “I would support a system of proportional representation… Rather than using the present system where you can have in the West, 20–30% of the votes and zero members. And conversely, as the Conservative Party has had in Quebec, 8–15% of the vote and zero members. And same for the NDP. I think we have to move in this direction.” — Pierre Trudeau, 1980.

Today, I announced a middle class tax cut.

The NDP’s tax cut will save families over $1,450 a year by cutting taxes and permanently removing GST from daily essentials.

The ultra-rich have Liberals and Conservatives looking out for them — I’m in it for you.

 

Mark Carney, who was elected leader of the Liberal Party to replace Justin Trudeau just weeks ago, has called a snap election set for April 28.

In preparing for this pivotal election, we produced an election primer meant to provide a common framework for understanding the current political moment, one that people could engage with, debate, discuss, and be inspired to take action together.

We argued that we needed to both resist the rise of Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives, and to organize a broad-based movement to fight back against the corporate agenda and to build the Canada we want, both during the election and after.
