Mark Carney co-founded and co-led Brookfield’s $15B Bermuda-registered Global Transition Fund I as Vice Chair & Head of Transition Investing. As founder of the fund, he holds carried interest — a performance-based payout that cannot be divested or sold like stocks (it’s illiquid, not in his blind trust, and vests years from now). Bay Street estimates put his potential personal fortune from this at tens of millions of dollars — with some models reaching $30M–$100M+ if the net-zero transition assets perform well. Others have suggested as high as a billion His wealth remains directly aligned with accelerating the shift away from fossil fuels Carney cannot easily divest his carried interest (or notional LTIP) in the Brookfield Global Transition Funds






Mark Wiseman, Canada's Ambassador to the US, is appearing before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development (FAAE) today, at 3:30 pm Wiseman is hot water today (with francophone press) for sending out an invitation for a reception at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, DC, only in English to federal MPs (particularly those on the Foreign Affairs committee) This is his first address to parliamentarians since taking the role in mid-February. Expect much grilling Mark Wiseman has not done any notable media interviews or public appearances since becoming Ambassador in mid-February 2026 No on-the-record interviews, TV appearances, or podcasts featuring him directly Only a brief written statement attributed to him appeared in a government news release when he presented his credentials to President Trump (something to the effect “It is a profound privilege to serve in this role”) Having a public face is a significant part of the job Apparently being the bagman for Carney's Liberal leadership bid gives you job requirement exemptions. Carney crony privilege "Ahead of Ambassador Wiseman's testimony later today, I wondered if you might comment on why he's the right guy for the job at this time, why you picked him" Carney goes to great lengths to point out Quebec inclusion in Cabinet say Wiseman isn't the trade negotiator today "But he's a diplomat, not a decider." @CanEmbUSA
