You of all people distrusting a random internet source is hilarious.

What random sources have I posted?

If this is the Canadian election subforum pissing contest, Carney wins.

You don't even post the sources, it's just obvious from the things you claim as fact.

Pierre Poilievre owns a environmental sustainability consultancy group headquartered in Portland, Oregon. Yes, that makes sense. I'm glad you're using your critical thinking skills on this one.

His actual assets are publicly displayed here. Basically, a bunch of ETFs and a rental property. $25 million seems highly unlikely given his salary.

Trudeau didn't make his money in politics.

Given how Carney went out of his way to smooth those water when he said how he respected Trump why go shit the bed now? Telling Trump the 51st state stuff has to stop before negotiations is smart. That’s a Canadian PM’s job. Needlessly provoking Trump on Canadian soil is stupid.

Well, perhaps Trump should not have ambushed Zelenskyy in the Oval Office. Sometimes doing the right thing, is harder than doing the easy thing, but I am in full support of Zelenskyy attending the G7.

Furthermore, I am also in support of Canada limiting our interactions with the Trump Administration. That does not mean badmouth them, or pick unnecessary fights. We are siding with Europe, which made all the sense in the World, now that the United States is no longer our ally, and they can no longer be trusted.

To try and team up with Trump, as Doug Ford suggested, would be foolish. Were are not Austria, and this is not 1938.

Here's another totally reliable net worth estimate that also happens to be from India, which is totally not a country full of fraud, clickbait scams, and unreliable media.

What is Mark Carney’s net worth?
As of 2025, Carney's net worth is estimated to be around $6.97 million, according to Pierre Poilievre News.

His wealth is derived from a combination of prominent financial roles, including positions at Goldman Sachs, Brookfield Asset Management (TSX: BAM), and Bloomberg L.P.

Does anyone know how I can subscribe to PPN?

I shared my opinion and my assumptions, nothing more. And I did post sources, not my fault you refuse to read them. Just like your quip yesterday wanting me to tell you what the leader of the federal opposition said cause you didn’t want to listen to his whiny voice.

At least try to be objective.

Trudeau and Singh have family wealth. Poilievre has built of his wealth as a landlord while being a very highly paid politician for two decades. Ironically, of the four, he's benefited the most directly from the housing crisis in Canada.

Singh had an actual legal career before politics. But his wealth is mostly family money.

Really, of all the four men, Carney is the only one where it can be genuinely said that the majority of his wealth is neither taxpayer money derived, nor family money. I'm fairly sure his School Principal father didn't leave him millions. And I'm fairly sure being a Central Banker doesn't pay nearly as much as Goldman Sachs or Brookfield.

Pierre not only has bought the real estate with his taxpayer funded 20+ year salary, his renters are taxpayer funded individuals... talk about milking the system!

Within ethic requirements?

Almost along the same line as Carney being board chair signing off on relocating Brookfield head office to New York to avoid tariffs, in the name of his shareholders best interests, that includes himself likely having a lot of shares in the company, a month before he announced his leadership intentions. I wonder what kind of kick-backs he gets from that? Smart man working the system.

You might be surprised. The Governor of the Bank of England apparently gets a package (now) worth about a million $CDN a year. The Canadian salary is probably half that.

Please tell me more about Carney's connections to Maxwell.

Listening to PP is like nails on a chalkboard. Truly annoying.

[MolsonExport]

PP has never worked a day outside of politics (maybe he was a paper boy once?). I don't understand how he could amass such a fortune.

Trudeau came from old money. Singh came from new money. Carney came from the middle class, and made his bones.

Did he marry money?

Don't underestimate real estate wealth building over 20 years. He's had a good salary all of that time, and often a lot of expenses paid by you and me.

Of course Trump shouldn't have been such an a-hole to Zelensky in the White House. And Canada can and is, working with European allies on the Ukraine file. However, there is no point in antagonizing Trump further with Zelensky's presence on Canadian soil at the G-7. None, full stop.

Even ignoring his grandfather's gas station empire, it would be just good financial sense for Trudeau to at least have some of his investments in real estate. I'm sure he's benefitted as well.

The Singh family money narrative doesn't make any sense. His dad was a first generation immigrant and worked as a psychiatrist. That's a good income but doesn't create intergenerational wealth and it would be split with his siblings anyhow. Singh barely worked as a lawyer - he bailed on his legal practice early for a poorly paid MPP gig before transitioning to federal politics. He owns his home but rents out the basement, which is not something a wealthy person would do. His financial situation is likely very average, basically millennial upper middle class.

As for making money off the government, I don't think that's anything to be ashamed of. I technically make my money off of the taxpayer but put in 70+ hour a week providing a valuable service to justify it. Carney did spend nearly two decades of his peak income years working for the government, so I'd be surprised if less than half of his wealth was derived for this income. But it would be OK if it didn't.

She apparently is still paying off her student loans, so unlikely. More likely that a website with the name "indianlawyersclub" has no idea what his financial situation is. In addition the Oregon environmental sustainability consultancy he apparently owns, they also seem to think he owns Stornoway.
Like I said earlier, his official declaration of assets is publicly viewable and is much more modest.

and less than a 1% chance of a CPC majority.

Lots of partisanship in this statement.
