Mark Carney’s closer Bay Street ties could spell trouble for the Conservative leader
On the 34th floor of First Canadian Place, the BMO-branded tower at the core of corporate Canada’s Bay Street hub, a distinctly downtown crowd of about 150 people gathered to get a glimpse of Pierre Poilievre.
Law firm Bennett Jones hosted the fundraiser. Robert Staley – a close ally of the Conservative leader and chair of the party’s powerful fundraising arm – is the firm’s vice-chair and a partner. Other hosts included Scotiabank vice-chair Mark Mulroney, son of a former prime minister, health care services executive Shaun Francis of Medcan Health Management and former Assante Wealth Management CEO Joe Canavan.
