Carney under fire over Brookfield's role in deforestation, slave labour
“I can’t believe that I’m having to clarify that Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada, had or didn’t have slaves," said Conservative MP Steven Bonk.
A Conservative MP is raising explosive allegations about Mark Carney’s corporate past, accusing him of ties to environmental destruction in Brazil and claims involving deforestation, Indigenous displacement, and slave-labour violations during his time at Brookfield Asset Management.
Steven Bonk says the accusations are so serious they raise fundamental questions about the Prime Minister’s credibility on climate policy, pointing to what he calls a stark gap between Carney’s global environmental rhetoric and his company’s record on the ground.
“I want to be very clear, these are very serious allegations: They include human rights abuses, accusations of slavery, deforestation of the rainforest,” Conservative MP Steven Bonk said Thursday in a video posted to X.
“I can’t believe that I’m having to clarify that Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada, had or didn’t have slaves.”
