The problem is, his stock options may not have vested, and Carney would be aware of the vesting schedule. It could be years before he (or whoever is managing the trust) could exercise those options and/or sell those shares.
In other words, the trust may not be ‘blind’ in practice.
This was the original criticism from reporters such as Rosie Barton, and many of Carney’s supporters never bothered to try to understand the issue.
Fine by me. Most of the policies Carney proposed will support big companies and people with stocks.
If Carney sells his stocks and doesn’t have investments he’ll be like a significant proportion of Canadians.
Join us, rich boy.
(And Poilievre can sell his ten rental properties and donate his parliamentary pension to cats or something)

And when will that be? Will that happen while he is PM? Carney knows, and we don’t. And that’s the problem!

So why doesn’t Carney disclose this? Do you agree he should?

Personally I’ve not heard of a PM having millions in unvested stock options before this one, so, not sure how standard it is.
If Poilievre was doing the same, would you have the same response?
