Flashback: Mark Carney's farewell events cost taxpayers over $30,000

The former Bank of England governor is expected to throw his hat into the Liberals' leadership race on Thursday.

Globalist banker Mark Carney — a current adviser to Trudeau — is expected to enter the race for the Liberal leadership to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in an official announcement Thursday.

Carney's farewell events held in his honour when he left the Bank of Canada in 2013 left taxpayers footing a five-figure bill.

A series of parties were organized to mark Carney's departure, including a high-profile event at Ottawa’s National Arts Centre. The total cost of the farewell celebrations exceeded $30,000.

Critics at the time argued that the events were excessive and highlighted a lack of sensitivity to taxpayers, especially as Carney transitioned to a prestigious new role as governor of the Bank of England.

The Bank of Canada defended the spending as a way to recognize Carney's contributions.

Justin Trudeau is gone — but Canadians never voted for his replacement. The Liberal Party has installed unelected banker Mark Carney as Prime Minister. Why should Canadians accept another leader without a mandate? It’s time for a federal election now — not when it’s convenient for the Liberals. Sign the petition and demand that Mark Carney call an election immediately!

Please help me stop Mark Carney — before it’s too late!

Mark Carney wasn’t elected — he was installed by the global elites. And now that he’s in charge, they think they’ve won. But not if we have anything to say about it. While the bought-and-paid-for media slobber over their new golden boy, we’re hitting the streets, digging into his World Economic Forum playbook, and calling out the radical agenda they’re trying to ram down Canada’s throat. This is the fight of our lives — and we’re not backing down. Help us keep our reporters on the ground, our billboard truck on the move, and our message uncensored. Pitch in now if you want to stop Mark Carney before he does irreversible damage.

    And, of course, the taxpayers are a bottomless horn of plenty when it comes to paying for Liberal frivolities.

    This is another thing we must tell our friends who just watch the TV. They’ll never understand how wicked the entire Liberal party has become.
