Carney pt 3 THE SILENCE OF THE MEDIA: WHEN JOURNALISM BECOMES PUBLIC RELATIONS

 This post researched and written by OpenAI

The average Canadian doesn’t know that Mark Carney moved Brookfield’s headquarters to the United States. They don’t know about his 500+ U.S.-based investments. They don’t know about Brookfield’s role in housing crises, tax avoidance, or backdoor access to federal contracts. And why don’t they know?

Because the press isn’t telling them.

Mainstream Canadian media—dependent on government subsidies and corporate ad revenue—has become increasingly timid, especially when it comes to figures like Carney. He’s viewed as “serious,” “global,” “respectable.” That makes him untouchable. It also makes him extremely dangerous.

While Pierre Poilievre’s tone gets dissected and Trudeau’s socks get more coverage than his policy failures, Carney is handed the velvet treatment. No CBC exposé. No Toronto Star investigation. Just puff pieces and panel praise.

Meanwhile, Brookfield is buying up the cities.

BROOKFIELD’S WAR ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Under Carney’s tenure and ongoing influence, Brookfield expanded aggressively into housing markets across Canada, the U.S., and Europe. But this wasn’t about building homes—it was about buying them.

Reports from tenant unions and housing watchdogs have revealed a clear pattern: Brookfield purchases apartment blocks, renovates lightly, then jacks up the rent—sometimes evicting low-income tenants in the process. Their goal? Maximize shareholder returns, not house the working class.

In a country like Canada—where housing is now out of reach for much of the population—Brookfield’s behavior isn’t just predatory. It’s parasitic.

And the man who helped direct that strategy now oversees housing policy for the nation.

THE ESG MASK: ENVIRONMENTAL RHETORIC, CORPORATE CONTROL

One of Carney’s most public roles was as the global face of ESG investing—Environmental, Social, and Governance frameworks. On the surface, ESG sounds good: invest in companies that do right by people and the planet.

But peel back the curtain and ESG is a Trojan Horse.

Brookfield’s ESG strategy was never about ending extractive capitalism—it was about rebranding it. Under Carney’s guidance, ESG became a financial filter, not a moral compass. A way to steer billions into green-washed corporate ventures while small farmers, resource workers, and independent tradespeople were shut out.

ESG became the framework through which unelected financiers—like Carney—could decide what industries deserve to live and which must die. That’s not sustainability. That’s authoritarian economics in a three-piece suit.

ENTER THE CBDC: DIGITAL CONTROL MASQUERADING AS INNOVATION

Carney isn’t just shaping the flow of capital—he’s shaping the very nature of money.

As a former central banker, Carney is one of the most vocal proponents of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). These are government-backed digital tokens designed to eventually replace physical cash. On the surface, they promise convenience. In practice, they open the door to surveillance, control, and programmable restrictions on how money can be used.

Imagine a world where your ability to spend is tied to your ESG score, or where your “climate impact” determines whether you can travel. With Carney at the helm, that world is no longer fiction—it’s prototype.

And Brookfield? Already investing in the infrastructure to make that future possible.

FINAL THOUGHT

Mark Carney represents the merger of state and corporation, policy and profit, regulation and monopoly. The media won’t say it. Parliament won’t touch it. But Canadians need to see it for what it is: a calculated, well-mannered colonization of our economic system from within.

The housing crisis, the green finance agenda, the digital currency push—they’re not separate issues. They’re tentacles of the same machine. And Carney is sitting behind the wheel, backed by a press that treats questions as conspiracy and silence as professionalism.

Canada doesn’t need another manager. It needs a reckoning.
