The Climate Leadership Illusion: Unmasking PM Carey's Brookfield Connections | Grey Matter Commentary

What happens when a politician's financial interests directly contradict their public policy positions? In this hard-hitting episode of Grey Matter Commentary, we expose the tangled web of conflicts surrounding PM Carey's climate leadership claims.

 

From his extensive ties to Brookfield Asset Management—a trillion-dollar investment firm controlling energy projects, pipelines, and carbon schemes across the country—to the troubling revelation about his personal portfolio's 12.5% stake in BAM's renewable energy division, this commentary cuts through the official narratives to reveal a disturbing pattern of conflict.

 

Drawing parallels to parliamentary traditions and previous ethics violations in Canadian politics, we examine how the distinction between what's legally permissible and what's ethically sound has been deliberately blurred to protect powerful interests.

 

Join us for this unflinching look at how corporate influence shapes climate policy, and what it means for democratic accountability in an era of increasing corporate capture.
