  • Ethics Under Fire: Mark Carney’s Stock Holdings, Ottawa Corruption, and the Push to Ban the Swastika

    Ethics Under Fire: Mark Carney’s Stock Holdings, Ottawa Corruption, and the Push to Ban the Swastika
    2025/10/30
    In this conversation with Blacklock’s Reporter managing editor Tom Korski, Alex Pierson digs into the growing list of ethical and governance crises facing Ottawa. Korski breaks down the Commons vote ordering hearings into Prime Minister Mark Carney’s extensive stock holdings — a portfolio spanning hundreds of companies, including Brookfield’s Westinghouse subsidiary, which has received federal funding. The discussion questions whether Canada’s top office can truly separate public duty from private interest. They then turn to a surge in federal whistleblower complaints, as the Integrity Commissioner warns Parliament that her office is overwhelmed with serious allegations of corruption, nepotism, and misuse of funds — calling it evidence of a “petty, and sometimes not-so-petty” corruption problem in Ottawa. Finally, the pair debate the proposed federal ban on public displays of the swastika, which the Canadian Civil Liberties Association calls government overreach. Korski argues that while consistency matters, Ottawa’s selective outrage reveals deep contradictions in how Charter rights are defended. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Lost Track and No Accountability: Tom Korski on Ottawa’s Systemic Failures
    2025/10/23
    Blacklock’s Reporter’s Tom Korski joins Alex Pierson to unpack the federal government’s latest display of dysfunction—from 30,000 deportees with no known address to the Canada Border Services Agency losing track of its own firearms. Korski points to a culture of complacency and political distraction, where senior bureaucrats face no consequences and cabinet ministers seem more interested in photo ops than public administration. The two also discuss the troubling proposal to single out Israeli visitors for “war crime” screening and why chronic mismanagement across agencies like CRA and CBSA exposes how broken Ottawa’s systems have become.
