I question the validity of the sources of this piece. By "referencing" CAITI and Mr. Brent Fullard this article cites a group who are clearly biased against Mr. Carney. I think any references to CAITI and Mr. Fullard should be removed.—Preceding unsigned comment added by U22mjs ( talk • contribs) 20:49, 24 November 2007
I removed some cites and material. IMHO, alot more should be tagged/removed. Anyways, -- Tom 18:10, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the comments. I do not usually edit articles about politics or economics (and I have no opinion, positive or negative, about the subject of this article) but I would be glad to help out in finding some sources. What do others think of this "fact box" from Reuters, this article from the Financial Post, and this one from the CBC? -- Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 13:13, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Peter Barker-Homek, Chief Executive of Abu Dhabi National Energy Co. (TAQA) says ""We think that because of the changes in the trust structures ... there will be a consolidation in that area," he told reporters. "Taqa will be well-positioned ... to help with that consolidation." [1] Barker-Homek zeroed in on Canada for several reasons: The attack on income trusts created buying opportunities and Canada is a backdoor entry to U.S. business. [2] Abu Dhabi National Energy Co. (TAQA) subsequently acquired PrimeWest Energy Trust in $5-billion deal. [3] — Preceding unsigned comment added by DSatYVR ( talk • contribs) 15:50, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
References
I would like to insert the above section as the 2nd paragraph in the Dept of finance section to show cause and effect of the policies promoted by Mark Carney Comments welcome DSatYVR ( talk) 15:50, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
The Primewest Energy Trust acquisition by TAQA was the focus of questions asked by Thomas Mulcair at the December 5 hearings. Mulcair asked Carney whether the foreign company would pay any Canadian taxes after acquiring Primewest.
I'll insert the above into the article if no objections. comments welcome DSatYVR ( talk) 16:04, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Also there is currently a motion to be voted on Jan/2008 by the Federal Finance committee I'll hold back on for now relating to Mark Carney and Jim Flaherty and their actions at the Dept of finance:
"That this committee as soon as possible launch an inquiry into the unproven allegation by the Finance Minister that income trusts result in a loss of tax revenue to Ottawa, in light of reports that 70% of all recent trust purchasers are tax-exempt, while individual Canadian investors lost tens of billions of dollars, and therefore pay less tax, as a result of the government trust decision." DSatYVR ( talk) 16:07, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
There is material relevant to this article from Diane Francis I wish to insert.
Please feel free to add your comments on the WP:BLP page linked above. DSatYVR ( talk) 16:14, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Hello all,
I've only recently become a Wikipedia editor, or a properly registered one in any case.
I find this article to be pretty thin given the prominence of Carney on the Canadian economic scene (and the global scene too, in some respects.) I also have some concerns about the seeming over-emphasis on the income trusts issue, but perhaps I'll leave that one for now.
Anyway, I plan to start revising and expanding the article. Please be constructive if I mess up occasionally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shaun courtice ( talk • contribs) 21:50, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
Hm, writing a really good article for Wikipedia is quite challenging. As my edit history will show, I keep tweaking and fiddling but I'm still not entirely satisfied. Hard to find that magic "NPOV" balance. Also, references get quite complex. Anyway, I'll keep at it. Shaun courtice ( talk) 00:02, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
When do his terms expire as Chairman of the Financial Stability Board and Governor of the Bank of Canada? I ask because with all the talk of him jumping into politics, he might just wait until he's done with both of those jobs, and then start out as just an MP (and maybe Finance Minister, if things turn out well) rather then running in a leadership race right away. Of course that would depend on the timing of his current 2 jobs, and the next election. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.103.152.51 ( talk) 18:52, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
The Business Positions table describes Carney as being incumbent at the BoE. He will be, but isn’t yet. (I’m not sure that I can edit a table, so want to leave it to those who can.) JDAWiseman ( talk) 11:18, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
I have a query about the first sentence of this article. Normally, articles on people begin by stating the nationality of the person, and stating that the person is (or was in the case of historical subjects) a such-and-such nationality member of profession x. So, shouldn't this article begin by stating that he is Canadian? The news in my country (the United Kingdom) has emphasised this. It could begin with a setence saying "Mark Carney is a Canadian.. " and then add how ever one best describes his profession. ACEOREVIVED ( talk) 16:09, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
As long as his current job is as Governor of the Bank of Canada, his designate position as Governor of the B of E does not belong at the top of the infobox. -- Rhombus ( talk) 21:03, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
Is it necessary for Mr Carnet Wiki page be polluted with Wing Nut / Tin Foil Hat / Conspiracy Theory attendance at the (secret) Bilderberg Group meeting in Chantilly, Virginia just a few months before his appointment. It is bad enough to have the Goldman Sachs / Government revolving door label, considering Goldman Sachs super-national involvement in recent and past global financial malfeasance (Grease, Ireland etc.) . If reporting of Bilderberg attendance is not reported in the main stream media, why is it be included on the Wiki page? Reference to Bilderberg or any other Rockefeller / Rothschild institution other than the private "nationalised" Bank of England. Give the man a break! He was obviously one of those people who did see the looming collapse of our financial system, as repeatedly reported by the BBC (his role in keeping Canada away from being bankrupted by all these private banking institutions. If Wikipedia is to be a respected information source it should follow " Chatham House Rules" privacy like all other media outlets; I vote to remove the Bilderberg wing nut fallacy, whether it factual OR NOT! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.121.186.28 ( talk) 11:25, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi JamesB, according to all the main stream media, the annual Bilderberg Group does not even warrant a mention whether TV, Radio or printed media. Naming Bilderberg on Wikipedia clearly breaks a much respected media tradition dating back over 50 years (since 1953). Yes, the " Chatham House Rule" does not stop the reporting on this once yearly event, it chooses to totally ignore it (as irrelevant - I guess). Surely if Wikipedia wants to be considered a serious source of reference it should consider respecting this media black-out of the Bilderberg Group and it's attendees over the years. I am proposing it's removal on those grounds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.121.186.28 ( talk) 14:04, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
According to today's Irish Times Carney has been an Irish citizen for about 25 years. The names of his siblings in this article also indicate a strong Irish background, although no mention is made of it in this wikipedia article (IT Article: http://www.irishtimes.com/business/economy/ireland/cantillon-mark-carney-plays-the-irish-card-1.1627712) 79.97.64.240 ( talk) 13:58, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Dear 64.114.128.103, I have reverted the notability and advertising templates you inserted. My reasons are as follows.
Wildfowl ( talk) 22:02, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
The following link is used to claim that Mark Carney is a British citizen - Full transcript: Mark Carney talks to Jon Snow - Channel 4 News . However, the actual text about his citizenship states:
You’re also a British subject – British citizenship can’t be far away?
I will – to take up my right to British citizenship there’s a residency requirement (JS so you are interested in doing it?) I made that commitment to the prime minister. The residency requirement actually extends to about the end of my term as it turns out despite the fact that I have been married to my British wife for 18 years.
This indicates that he is not a British citizen (British Subject status is not the same as British citizenship and it is sometimes (incorrectly) used as a synonym for a [[Commonwealth citizen]), and won't be elgible until about the end of his term, which is approximately in 2018. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arun ( talk • contribs) 05:55, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
