Poilievre wants Carney to cash out blind trust, says ethics screens insufficient
Carney set up a blind trust after he was sworn in as prime minister in March and the details of how it works were made public on Friday.
They show that the prime minister has set up screens to avoid potential conflicts related to his previous interests in Brookfield Asset Management, Brookfield Corporation and Stripe Inc.
But Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says that's not enough, arguing Carney could still benefit personally from decisions that affect Brookfield's wide portfolio of businesses.
Poilievre is calling on Carney to cash out his holdings and give them to a trustee to invest without any knowledge of what he held previously.
A spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office says Carney worked with the ethics commissioner to 'exceed' the existing rules by creating the blind trust days before he took office.

Carney condemns Israel for failing to prevent humanitarian crisis in Gaza
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney is condemning Israel for failing to prevent the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, in the latest sign of rising international alarm over the starvation and deaths of civilians in the besieged Palestinian territory. In a statement posted Thursday night on social media, Carney said Israel must stop controlling aid distribution to allow desperately needed supplies into the enclave that Israel first occupied almost sixty years ago. He alleged that the Israeli government has failed 'to prevent the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian disaster' in the territory, where provisions — including some that has been funded by Canada — have been blocked from reaching 'starving civilians' in Gaza.
