This Secret Company Just Got A Massive Government Contract @EzraLevant hears from a local Nova Scotia resident who blew the whistle on a $200 million Department of National Defence contract with Maritime Launch Services to set up a spaceport in the province. Two-hundred million. That's how much money Mark Carney's Liberals just handed an obscure company tied to a Canadian rocket launchpad in the tiny town of Canso, Nova Scotia. The Liberals say this will help Canada compete with the United States and build a domestic aerospace advantage. But is that really true? After all, the site in Canso is just a concrete slab in the middle of nowhere. We decided to look deeper into the company involved, Maritime Launch Services, and what we found raises serious questions about transparency, accountability and how business gets done in Canada. We recently travelled to Canso, flying to Halifax and then driving three hours, to see the site for ourselves. The Department of National Defence is spending $20 million a year over 10 years on the project, while Marine Launch Services actually rents the land from the province for less than $15,000 a year. It's the craziest thing — and that's why we went to investigate. What we found in Canso was a town appalled and opposed to this rocket industry. Everywhere we went, there were signs showing people do not want this spaceport — whether it's real or fake. “We're a small community in rural Nova Scotia, so no one is listened to us,” one local resident who blew the whistle on this story told us. Suspiciously, Maritime Launch Services was a penny stock until the $200 million investment from the Carney Liberals. Then the price shot up, with insiders making out like bandits. Even more eye-catching, the government backdated its lease agreement with Maritime Launch Services by a year. This means the federal government shelled out $20 million for nothing. It seems like a form of money laundering, like a way of funnelling money to friends. Who are the people who got this sweetheart deal? “We have about 1,100 people within 5.5 km of this,” the Canso local told us, noting the project was first discussed as a test site for a 127-foot-tall Ukrainian rocket. That rocket was set to be launched just 3 km from her community, “so, naturally we were concerned,” she said. “I can't outright say it's corruption, I don't know,” she told us. “I wrote the Auditor General,” she added, calling for an independent investigation. “This needs to be looked at, because it's wrong on every level.”

🚨👀 Carney pitched investors on using government policy to force profits for Brookfield. Then he became Prime Minister. Listen to what he says about their investment in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF): Interviewer: "You raised the capital… but the investment only works if government policy forces the demand. So are you going to go back to the public sector to drive that policy?" Carney: "I'm already advising governments… pro bono." Then, seconds later: "We Brookfield put a billion dollars to work there… the policy has to drive it." He was explaining how Brookfield's $2.1 billion investment in sustainable aviation fuel companies guarantees profits. How? The government simply forces airlines to buy the fuel — a fuel that costs 5 to 10 times more than regular jet fuel. Airlines would never buy it voluntarily. He's done this before. While advising the British government on its National Wealth Fund task force, the UK SAF mandate — the exact type of policy he was pitching investors on — came into force in January 2025, three months after the Prime Quadrant pitch. British Airways signed a 10-year offtake deal with the Brookfield-backed company that same year. The government Carney was advising at that exact moment? Justin Trudeau's. He remained Chair of Brookfield Asset Management until January 16, 2025 — the same day he announced he was running for office. 👀 Nine months later, Brookfield closed the largest private energy transition fund in history at a record $23.5 billion. And there are no limits to what he's willing to do to protect it. When Air Canada's CEO Michael Rousseau publicly resisted the mandates — asking for time, asking for domestic supply, doing his job — Carney got rid of him in the most calculated way imaginable. Two pilots tragically died at LaGuardia. Rousseau posted a condolence video in English. The Prime Minister of Canada — the first PM in 50 years who cannot speak French fluently, the first in modern history with no French speechwriter in his office — called it a "lack of compassion." He demanded the next CEO be bilingual. He said it in English. One week later, the most successful airline CEO in modern Canadian history was gone. The replacement criteria? Bilingual. And committed to "sustainability goals." Mark Carney didn't become Prime Minister to serve Canada. He became Prime Minister to protect Brookfield's investments. This is not liberal vs conservative. This is about a Prime Minister who puts the interests of his company above those of Canadians. 🇨🇦 Quote this post. Tag your MP.
