Mark Carney denies Globe and Mail report, faces scrutiny over Brookfield

After a week of turmoil on the stock market, Mark Carney is stepping away as party leader to tend to prime ministerial duties in Ottawa, where he met with his United States-Canada relations team to discuss tariff policy. U.S president Donald Trump had given Canada a tariff reprieve earlier in the week, and Carney is taking his third break from the campaign trail. Right after his quarrel with Globe and Mail. The media outlet reported yesterday, that Carney met with a pro-Beijing group, despite being photographed with its members.

Prime Minister Mark Carney attacked the Globe and Mail, denying the report and saying he never met with the group in question. Meanwhile, more media reports are coming out about Carney’s investment firm, Brookfield, and its use of tax havens.
