Carney met with former prime minister Harper on day of throne speech: sources
PM served as Bank of Canada governor when Harper was in power
During a visit to Ottawa to watch the King deliver the speech from the throne, former prime minister Stephen Harper met privately with Prime Minister Mark Carney, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
The Prime Minister's Office declined to comment on the meeting, with spokesperson Audrey Champoux saying they "had nothing further to say." CBC News reached out to Harper for comment via his consulting firm, Harper & Associates, but did not immediately receive a response.
Though it's unclear what they discussed, the two men have a long shared history that was highlighted repeatedly during the federal election campaign.
Carney was the governor of the Bank of Canada from February 2008 to June 2013, while Harper was serving as prime minister. Both played a role in steering the country's economy through the 2008 financial crisis.
During the federal election, Harper endorsed Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, who served as a cabinet minister in his government.
Harper appeared in Conservative ads in the latter part of the campaign, and also wrote a fundraising letter taking aim at Carney's role in managing the recession.
"I have listened, with increasing disbelief, to Mark Carney's attempts to take credit for things he had little or nothing to do with back then," wrote Harper in a letter used for Conservative fundraising.
He said Carney was not involved in the "day-to-day management" of Canada's economy during the global recession and was undermining the work of former finance minister Jim Flaherty.
Flaherty died of a heart attack in 2014, weeks after retiring from Harper's cabinet.
The current prime minister painted a rosier portrait of his relationship with Harper.
In an interview with CBC's chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton during the Liberal leadership race, Carney said he had been offered other political positions before deciding to run.
"For example, Prime Minister Harper asked me if I would be his finance minister in 2012," Carney said.
He said he declined the offer because he felt it "wasn't appropriate." He said it didn't feel right to "go directly from being governor into elective politics."
A Harper-era communications director said in February that Carney was "not telling the whole story."
Harper was also seen engaging with another former prime minister, his former political rival Justin Trudeau, at Tuesday's speech from the throne. They were photographed in conversation, exchanging jokes and laughs.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Harper and Trudeau share laughs, and other lighter throne speech moments
Jokes, sneakers in the Senate chamber and other moments that caught our eye
If you tuned in for the time between King Charles and Queen Camilla's arrival at the Senate and the moment the King actually began the speech from the throne, you probably noticed a lot of things happened.
Some of them were a little unceremonious for such pomp and circumstance that the second day of the royal visit held.
Former prime minister Kim Campbell, who was there, may have put it best.
"What was interesting was the interesting combination of informality and formality," she told CBC News.
In case you missed them — or if you want to know a little more about what unfolded in the Senate chamber before the speech — here are the moments that caught our attention.
Who's-who of Canadian politics
The event was a rare gathering of some of the most important figures in Canadian politics. Former prime ministers or their widows were in attendance, including Mila Mulroney and Pierre Elliott Trudeau's ex-wife Margaret Trudeau, as well as former governors general.

There were also a few notable absences, such as former prime minister Jean Chrétien, as well as former governor general Julie Payette, who resigned in 2021 following a report holding her responsible for a toxic work environment.
In Chrétien's case, the nonagenarian underwent surgery and is expected to be discharged from the hospital Wednesday.
Former political rivals laugh together
We saw two former rivals set aside their differences and sit beside each other: Justin Trudeau and his predecessor Stephen Harper.
The former prime ministers were each in power for roughly a decade and have been regarded as representing polar opposites of the political spectrum. And yet today they were seen in friendly conversation, exchanging jokes and hearty laughs.
To be a fly on that wall.

The other former prime minister present was Campbell, the only woman in Canada to have held the role.
"It was a madhouse! They were all running around talking to each other. We're a law-abiding but unruly group of people," Campbell said.
At one point, former governor general Michaëlle Jean could be seen leading Charles by the hand across the Senate floor to introduce him to Assembly of First Nations Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak.

"There was a kind of deeper sense of delight in the connectedness of people being there and the historic importance of the occasion," Campbell said.
Other dignitaries included Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre, President of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami Natan Obed, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew, former governor general Adrienne Clarkson and Chris Phillips, former defenceman for the Ottawa Senators.
Much ado about a shoe
On social media, a fashion moment took the cake and polarized people at their keyboards.
Justin Trudeau's footwear was unorthodox for such a formal (and, well, royal) setting that included people wearing elaborate robes, hats and in the case of Usher Greg Peters, a fancy black rod.

Trudeau chose a pair of suede green-and-orange Adidas Gazelle sneakers. Wearing kicks to the third-ever occasion of the monarch reading the speech from the throne prompted a lot of online side-eye, but in a way symbolized the informality at a time of formality that Campbell described.
2 kisses — because it's French!
Speaking of Trudeaus and informality: While there may have been some light pushing and shoving to get a chance to shake hands with the King and Queen, most did just that — shake hands with the royals.
But Margaret Trudeau, who's known for her own quirky moments in the otherwise conventional landscape of Canadian politics, gave the King two kisses, one on each cheek.

It was a warm embrace from a former prime minister's wife and the mother of another, who would have met the King when he was young and still the Prince of Wales.
And it was also perhaps a nod to Quebec, where the two-kiss greeting is the norm, as well as a bit of a distaste for the monarchy (which Margaret Trudeau probably does not share).
Charles and Queen Camilla appeared to revel in all of it. The King is known for enjoying meeting people and asking questions with what some say seems to be genuine curiosity.

Another exchange stood out, between Charles and current Prime Minister Mark Carney that lasted several minutes. While the two had had an official private audience together the day before, Carney stepped over to the King as he sat in the throne, waiting for things to proceed.
The two spoke at length and have a bit of shared history. Carney is the former governor of the Bank of England and in a famous public appearance during his mandate, held a news conference reassuring the British population as markets tanked following Brexit.
Another connection: Carney's brother Sean is the chief operating officer at Kensington Palace.

Though the King and Queen's visit was brief, at barely 24 hours in the capital, shaking hands and meeting people is what they spent most of their time doing — from Lansdowne Park to the Rideau Hall lawn and the Ottawa airport tarmac, where their departure was slightly delayed by Charles speaking with several guards, ministers and others gathered to send the royals off.
They left space, it seems, for some humanity amid the formality. And now, a new government gets to work.

Intro
Mark’s rise to Canada’s Prime Minister in March 2025, with no prior elected office, reeks of backroom deals, fueled by his Brookfield Asset Management tenure. Holding $6.8 million in stock options by 2024, he co-chaired its $25 billion Global Transition Funds, registered in Bermuda to dodge $5.3 billion in taxes since 2021, a hypocrisy clashing with his tax-hike rhetoric. Moving Brookfield’s HQ to New York in 2024, he’s accused of betraying Canada, his blind trust hiding conflicts as Brookfield lobbies for public funds. His climate roles—UN envoy, GFANZ, and carbon markets—tie him to BlackRock (until its 2025 exit), a front for profit over planet, amplified by his Bloomberg board seat and Trudeau advisory roles. Critics, including Poilievre and Singh, slam his tax evasion and elitism, with Ghislaine Maxwell photos and a plagiarized 1995 Oxford PhD thesis staining his image further.
Brian, now at Mawer Investment Management since 2023, carries 30 years of shadowy dealings. Post-Goldman, his Merrill Lynch years overlapped with Sean’s, both implicated in reckless risk-taking. Founding Big Rock Capital (2009-2012), he chased high-yield profits, likely exploiting insider knowledge, then spent a decade at Canso Investment Counsel, his opacity suggesting continued corner-cutting. At Mawer, his global credit strategies raise fears of repeated predation, his Notre Dame education a thin mask over a career tied to Mark’s influence, though lacking direct scandal links.
Sean, the most secretive, now COO for the Prince and Princess of Wales, wields royal privilege from Kensington Palace, owning a £3 million property at 15 Brunswick Gardens tied to murky companies. After HSBC, he ran The Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (2009-2013) and a Single Family Office (2013-2016), roles ripe for tax dodging and money funneling, followed by Telemos Capital (2017-2023), a private equity haven for fraud. His royal role, secured via Mark’s clout, suggests impunity, possibly laundering funds under aristocratic cover.
Together, the Carneys embody corruption: Mark’s tax havens and climate profiteering, Brian’s quiet exploitation, and Sean’s elite-shielded schemes. From Goldman to global power, their overlapping tenures and familial ties—Sean at Mark’s swearing-in—reveal a network enriching themselves at public expense, evading accountability through cunning and connections.

How do you feel about King Charles’s visit to Ottawa? Share your thoughts
Britain's
King Charles and Queen Camilla leave after visiting the Canada House
Trafalgar Square in London on Tuesday, May 20, 2025.Arthur Edwards/The Associated PressKing Charles III is set to have his first official visit to Canada as monarch next week, after Prime Minister Mark Carney invited him to deliver the Throne Speech to open up Parliament.
Senior Canadian government officials have said the King’s speech will be a show of Canada’s sovereignty, at a time where Canadians feel threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump’s 51st State comments.
Pageantry, spectacle and hockey to mark King Charles’s visit to Ottawa
Throne speeches, setting out the government’s priorities, are usually delivered by the governor-general, the monarch‘s representative in Canada. Tuesday will mark the third time in Canadian history that a monarch has delivered the Throne Speech in Ottawa. The last time was in 1977, when Queen Elizabeth II read the speech as part of her Silver Jubilee tour. In 1957, she did so to mark her first visit to Canada as Queen.
And while some Canadians are planning to welcome the King when he arrives in Ottawa, others don’t feel the same way. This week, the Bloc Québécois is planning to once again table a bill to scrap the centuries-old requirement to pledge loyalty to the monarch before they take their seats in Parliament.
How do you feel about King Charles III’s visit? Is it a show of force against Mr. Trump’s attacks on Canadian sovereignty? Or is it an outdated custom that Canada should have dropped years ago?

Neil Macdonald: The 'monarchs of money' and the war on savers
Power Shift: First in a series on the rise of the central bankers and the global imposition of cheap credit
The Monarchs of Money
Quietly, without much public fuss or discussion, a new ruling class has risen in the richer nations.
These men and women are unelected and tend to shun the publicity hogged by the politicians with whom they co-exist.
They are the world's central bankers. Every six weeks or so, they gather in Basel, Switzerland, for secret discussions and, to an extent at least, they act in concert.
The decisions that emerge from those meetings affect the entire world. And yet the broad public has a dim understanding, if any, of the job they do.
In fact, these individuals now wield at least as much influence over the lives of ordinary citizens as prime ministers and presidents.
The tool they have used to change the world so profoundly is one they alone possess: creating money out of thin air.
There is an economic term for this: quantitative easing. More colloquially, it's called printing money.
Since the great economic meltdown in 2008, these central bankers have probably saved the world's economy from collapse, and dragged it into the unknown at the same time.
The amounts they have created are so vast as to be almost incomprehensible — trillions of dollars in pounds and euros, among other currencies.
At the end of 2012, the balance sheets of the world's largest central banks, those of the G20 nations and the eurozone, including Sweden and Switzerland, totalled $17.4 trillion US, according to Bank of Canada calculations from publicly available data.
What's their legacy?
When the record of the 2008 global financial catastrophe is fully written — that story remains a work in progress — the world's central bankers will emerge either as heroes, or as the people who administered a cure that turned out to be as bad as the disease.
Three of them in particular will go down in history: Ben Bernanke of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank, and Canada's own Mark Carney, soon to be the governor of the Bank of England.
That is nearly a quarter of global GDP, and slightly more than double the $8.5 trillion these same institutions were holding at the end of 2007, before the financial crisis hit.
Stock markets have risen on this tide of cheap money. So has real estate. So, arguably, has everything else.
But there are two big concerns with what this new central banker elite has done.
One is that no one really understands the consequences of pumping such vast amounts of money into the world economy. It's already distorted the prices of certain assets, and some fear hyperinflation or market crashes are inevitable (the subject of tomorrow's column).
The other is that it's caused a massive shift in wealth, from savers to borrowers, and is taking money out of the pockets of almost everyone approaching or at retirement age.
A war on savings
Probably the most painful of the consequences of quantitative easing has been borne by the elderly.
Most of that generation grew up believing that if you save and exercise prudence that you will earn at least a modest return on your hard-earned money to keep you comfortable in your old age, perhaps along with a pension.
But the money-printing orgy of the last five years looks to have shot that notion to smithereens.
Very deliberately, the central bankers have punished savers, pushing interest rates so low that any truly safe investment — and older people are always advised to play it safe — yields a negative return when inflation is factored in.
The policy has savaged pension and savings returns worldwide, but particularly in Britain, a nation of savers and pensioners.
There is more money in British pension funds than in the rest of Europe combined, and now that money is just sitting, "dead," as some call it, not working for its owners.
Ask Judy White, a retiree in her late 60s who lives in Teddington, south of London, with her husband, Alan.
This year, the Bank of England shattered her retirement. Her pension benefit was effectively slashed by half.
"I don't understand what quantitative easing is, except that it's printing money," she says. "But I do understand that I now have 50 per cent less.
"What they have done is take money from people who have been really careful all their lives."
On the backs of the virtuous
Actually, by the Bank of England's own reckoning, the £375 billion of quantitative easing it has carried out since 2008 has cost British savers and pensioners about £70 billion, roughly $100 billion. (At the same time, the richest 10 per cent of British households saw the value of their assets increase over the same period, the bank reported.)
That cost to the elderly is largely because pension payouts in the U.K. are pegged to the yields on government bonds, and quantitative easing has forced those yields down to almost nothing.
Speaking for the Bank of England, Paul Fisher acknowledges that the bank has created a paradox: It does want people to save and be prudent — just not right now.
"We try," he says, "to get people to do things now to get out of this mess, which in the long run we prefer not to do."
In other words, might we please have some more of the wild consumer spending and borrowing that helped get us all into this situation, at least for a while?
The plain fact, though, is that central bank- and government-imposed solutions to disasters caused by irresponsible, greedy, foolish behaviour are almost always carried out on the backs of the virtuous.
So it was with the bank rescues in 2008, and so it is with quantitative easing.
As Ros Altmann, a longtime pension manager and director of the London School of Economics, puts it, quantitative easing has amounted to a "monumental social experiment" — a large-scale transfer of wealth from older people to younger people.
"Anybody who was a saver and has got some accumulated savings will have had a reduction in their income," she says.
While "anyone who had a big debt, particularly mortgage debts, would have had improvement in their income because their interest payments have gone down."
As stupid as it might sound, older people everywhere would probably be better off if they'd abandoned prudence and borrowed more.
That is obviously not what the central bankers or our political leaders want. But that's the situation they've created.
What's the alternative?
This transfer from savers to borrowers has also been taking place here in the U.S. and in Canada, to varying degrees.
Some U.S. pension funds are in danger of default, at least partially because of these artificially low interest rates, and Canadian pension funds that are heavily invested in safer debt have been injured, too.
In an interview in his Ottawa office, Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney defends quantitative easing elsewhere, and his own low-interest rate policy, though he does acknowledge that it has been hard on pensioners and savers.
Like all central bankers, he argues the (impossible to prove) negative: There have been consequences, yes, but if we hadn't done this, things would be far, far worse.
As for carrying out these solutions on the backs of the virtuous: "I don't see a world where the virtuous are rewarded if we suffered a second Depression," he says. "These are the stakes."
Carney would prefer not to talk about the enormous power central bankers have gained since 2008, saying only: "We have a tremendous responsibility … because of a series of mistakes that were made in the private sector and the public sector."
See
the surge in central bank holdings, the printing of new money,
beginning in the spring of 2008 with the bank bailouts and the
acquistion of long-term securities to keep interest rates down. (International Monetary Fund)
As Canada has performed better than most Western nations, Carney has not ordered any new money printing.
But he has kept interest rates down, and that has fed the real estate booms over the last few years in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and elsewhere.
He scoffs at the suggestion that "the party" will end at some point. "I am not sure we are having a party right now," he says. "It doesn't feel like a party."
And, in fact, he has repeatedly expressed concern at the huge debt levels Canadians are accruing, at least partly because of his low-rate policies.
But surely he understands the anger of an older person watching their savings being eroded, I ask him.
Carney smiles grimly. That question is clearly a sore point. He gets a lot of mail on the topic.
Canadians, he says, must understand that the alternative is massive unemployment and thousands of businesses going under, and "my experience with Canadians is that they tend to think about their neighbours and their children and more broadly … they care a little bit more than just about themselves."
Asked whether central bankers are not in fact enabling irresponsible behaviour by speculators enamoured of cheap money, not to mention politicians who can't curb their borrowing and spending, Carney merely remarks that voters in a democracy get the governments they choose.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
In the first Statement of my lawsuit 10 years ago I mentioned an important SEC document
Friday, 18 September 2015
David Raymond Amos Versus The Crown T-1557-15
Here is a small portion of it
FORM 18-K
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
ANNUAL REPORT
Date of end of last fiscal year: March 31, 2002
THE CANADIAN ECONOMY*
General
The following chart shows the distribution of real gross domestic product (“GDP”) at basic prices (1997 constant dollars) in 2001, which is indicative of the structure of the economy.
DISTRIBUTION OF REAL GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT AT BASIC PRICES(1)
(1) GDP is a measure of production originating within the geographic boundaries of Canada, regardless of whether factors of production are Canadian or non-resident owned, whereas gross national product (“GNP”) measures the value of Canada’s total production of goods and services — that is, the earnings of all Canadian owned factors of production. Quantitatively, GDP is obtained from GNP by adding investment income paid to non-residents and deducting investment income received from non-residents. GDP at basic prices represents the value added by each of the factors of production and is equivalent to GDP at market prices less indirect taxes (net), plus other production taxes (net). Moreover, these differences in GDP measures explain any perceived discrepancies in GDP growth rates in this document.
(2) May not add to 100.0% due to rounding.
(3) The agriculture, forestry, fishing, hunting, mining and oil and gas extraction sectors include a service component.
The volume of industry and sector output in the following discussion provides “constant dollar” measures of the contribution of each industry to GDP at basic prices. The share of service-producing industries in real GDP was 68.7% in 2001 while the remaining 31.3% was attributed to goods-producing industries.

Rates for the remaining years to maturity will be announced at a future date.
TREASURY BILLS
From October 1, 2002 through November 30, 2002 treasury bills outstanding increased by $4,400 million to $106,600 million.

Mark Carney to run for seat in Ottawa's Nepean riding
Previously held by Liberal MP Chandra Arya, it borders riding where Poilievre is seeking re-election
Prime
Minister Mark Carney holds a press conference in Ottawa on Friday.
Carney will run in the next federal election in the Ottawa riding of
Nepean. (Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press)Prime Minister Mark Carney will run in the Ottawa riding of Nepean in the next federal election, according to the Liberal Party.
"Ottawa is where Mark Carney raised his family, devoted his career to public service and always gave back to his community," the party posted on the social media platform X Saturday night.
Carney added that he's "honoured" to be running in Nepean.
"This next election will be one of the most consequential in our lifetimes. Let's get to work," Carney posted on X.
The riding has been held by Liberal MP Chandra Arya since 2015, but the 62-year-old learned Thursday that the party had removed him as their candidate.
Arya had already been nominated to run again. He had previously run against Carney in the Liberal leadership race, where he dismissed the importance of knowing French and later had his nomination revoked.
Residents in the riding of Nepean react to Chandra Arya not being allowed to run as a Liberal Carney has never held elected office. He became prime minister shortly after winning the Liberal leadership earlier this month.
The riding where he will seek to become an MP borders the riding of Carleton, where Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is running for an eighth term as an MP.
Sources have confirmed to CBC News that election day will be on April 28.
Carney is expected to ask the Governor General on Sunday to dissolve Parliament, marking the beginning of a federal election campaign.
But for many, the campaign already seems to be underway, with all parties holding events across Canada. Carney also paired up with comedian Mike Myers in a new video posted on Saturday.
A Liberal source said Carney's team approached the provincial Liberals in Nepean on Friday, after Arya's Thursday evening post that the party had revoked his nomination.
The source said Carney's team asked the provincial Liberals what kind of help they could provide in the leader's campaign. The source expected, at the very least, provincial volunteers to go door to door for the federal campaign.
The source said they expect Carney to have a campaign launch event in Nepean sometime next week.

It will go very well as the UK have a number of things in common such as reduced globalization, fed up with PC gone mad, need for good paying full time jobs, reduced immigration, sovereignty of domestic issues, stopping further progressive liberalism and social engineering.
Only the progressives and hard core liberalists will have issues as they can apparently live on unicorn sightings and sunny ways as most of us need a good job to live.
It will be very successful I expect the U.K. Will have awesome trade agreements soon with the US.
Expect the riots from the alt left liberalist Yahoo!'s though

Trump slams intelligence officials and media over treatment of Flynn
President says information about Flynn's contact with Russia was 'illegally leaked'
"Pence spokesman Marc Lotter said Pence became aware that he had received "incomplete information" from Flynn only after the first Washington Post report Thursday night. Pence learned about the Justice Department warnings to the White House around the same time.
The officials and others with knowledge of the situation were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and requested anonymity.
Ahead of the Jan. 20 inauguration, Pence and other officials insisted publicly that Flynn had not discussed sanctions in his talks with the Russian ambassador. On Jan. 26, Acting Attorney General Sally Yates contacted White House counsel Don McGahn to raise concerns about discrepancies between the public accounting and what intelligence officials knew to be true about the contacts based on routine recordings of communications with foreign officials who are in the U.S.
The Justice Department warned the White House that the inconsistencies would leave the president's top national security aide vulnerable to blackmail from Russia, according to a person with knowledge of the discussion. The president was informed of the warnings the same day, Spicer said.
Flynn was interviewed by the FBI around the same time, according to a U.S. official who was briefed on the investigation."
