    They didn’t. They’re assuming that because Carney has had business success, that anything he does in government will be corruption to line his own pockets.

    When someone has the credentials and success of running national banks, they generally are very good at compartmentalization and are better at it than the shitty slumlords like Marty Morantz.

      “business success” is quite the euphemism for “presided, until January, over one of the world largest residential housing investment firm, and the single largest residential landlord in San Francisco.” Something that is extremely relevant to the topic at hand. And nowhere did I say corruption, no need to strawman me. I said his housing plan is almost certainly going to favour large corporate and investment interests.

      You clearly saw the news article I posted and just decided you’d ignore it, if that isn’t bad faith I don’t know what is.

        You made a 100% completely false claim then try to gaslight the guy when he calls you out?

        Go back to your hole man.

          What is false about the claim? C’mon, address the point directly instead of platitudes, euphemisms, and strawman’s.

          Was Carney not the president of Brookfield until January? Is Brookfield not hold a massive amount of residential real estate?

            It doesn’t matter what carney was the president off. You said that Brookfield would be the owner of these houses, and based of the evidence we have and you provided, there is zero proof that that’s the case.

            There is nothing else really to discuss. You made something up and stared it as fact, and you acknowledge that it’s at best a guess based off weak connections.

              Since you are so versed in figure of phrases you should be able to understand a hyperbole. But evidently that’s too complex for you, I’m sorry I’ll dumb it down next time.

                When did lies become hyperbole?

                You said something untrue and then tried to continue to justify it as if it were true. If you were indeed trying to make a joke by exaggerating that should have been your initial response to my question, but instead you run into it.

                You don’t have to dumb anything down, if anything you need to step it up a notch if you’re trying to pass off lies as truth 😛

                Edit: if you’re curious, what you did isn’t hyperbole at all. Hyperbole would be suggesting that Brookfield will own all the rental properties, or something along those lines.

                Trying to state that the government is planning to work with Brookfield to do this program isn’t hyperbole unless there is a grain of truth to exaggerate, which there isn’t. You can’t exaggerate a lie and turn it into hyperbole.
