She has NEVER lived in Canada. She will have a USA agenda without a doubt and she is mega-pro-AI. Carney is an evil prick.
@consbegone.bsky.social:
The whole “Canadian” sovereignty angle is just to appease the masses. Carney is a global banker running Canada like any CEO. Taking what is ours and selling it to the highest bidder.

Karen Karniol-Tambour is an Israeli-born hedge fund executive who carries American, Israeli and Canadian passports. Expect our sovereign wealth fund to be anything but sovereign.

@sustainablesong.bsky.social:
Mark Carney’s vision for Canada doesn’t include the rule of law. Instead, we get a “whim of law,” where politicians in his cabinet get to unilaterally decide at will that the rule of law no longer applies to projects or businesses of their choice. It fully eviscerates the rule of law.

Hell has frozen over. I’m sharing a Toronto Sun story.
The Sun has provided info I was looking for on Karen Karniol-Tambour, the hedge fund manager Carney tapped to lead the Canada Strong Fund, our $25-billion sovereign wealth fund.
PMMC has hired another American, a ‘Canadian’ in name only.
Not exactly a sovereign wealth fund when you need to borrow every penny.
And what of the optics of bringing in an American transplant to run a sovereign wealth fund? Ms. Karniol-Tambour is described in the news release issued by Carney’s office as a Canadian citizen, and they describe her as returning to Canada.
🎵”Here she is, Miss America”🎵
Karniol-Tambour has spent her entire adult life living in the United States. She got her citizenship via her mother. That’s it. That’s all it sounds like.
Carney’s sovereign wealth fund pick is more global than Canadian, The woman tapped to run the Canada Strong Fund has an impressive résumé, deep ties to global institutions and Democratic circles, but little public connection to Canada itself. by Brian Lilley, Nov 09, 2026, Toronto Sun
Mark Carney’s choice to head up Canada’s sovereign wealth fund is a Democrat American Democrats are more Repuglican than they are Democrat donor and Young Global Leader at the World Economic Forum. Karen Karniol-Tambour, a resident of the affluent town of Norwalk, Ct., and currently the co-chief investment officer of an American hedge fund, will soon head up the RapeCanada Strong Fund.
The Canada Strong Fund is the name given to the $25-billion sovereign wealth fund being set up by the Carney government entirely with debt.
Not exactly a sovereign wealth fund when you need to borrow every penny.
And what of the optics of bringing in an American transplant to run a sovereign wealth fund? Ms. Karniol-Tambour is described in the news release issued by Carney’s office as a Canadian citizen, and they describe her as returning to Canada.
The trouble is, there is no public information that she ever lived in Canada, was educated in Canada, or worked here.
A profile of Karniol-Tambour by Forbes describes her as “born in Israel and grew up mostly in the seaside town of Netanya, with a two-year detour in the U.S.” There is no mention of Canada in any of her profiles, no mention of work or study in Canada on her LinkedIn page.
Returning to where?
Her father, Yoram Tambour, has been a professor of aerospace at Technion in Haifa since 1995 but has been working at the school since 1982. Her mother, Rachel Karniol, was born in Israel, raised in Canada, and studied at the University of Toronto and the University of Waterloo before beginning her career as a professor of psychology at Tel Aviv University.
Her mother would explain how Karniol-Tambour has Canadian citizenship, but there is still no clear connection that would indicate that she is returning to Canada.
Karniol-Tambour entered Princeton University at the age of 17. After studying there, she started work immediately at Bridgewater Associates, described as one of the world’s largest hedge funds. Her LinkedIn profile showcases a number of associations, charitable and otherwise.
In addition to being a Young Global Leader at the World Economic Forum, Karniol-Tambour has served on the boards of the Truman Center for National Policy, the Atlantic Council and Seeds of Peace. She sits on the investment committee of Robin Hood, an organization set up to fight poverty in New York City, and she is a lifetime member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
Between 2016 and 2024, Karniol-Tambour donated roughly $20,000 to campaigns for numerous Democratic politicians, including Pete Buttigieg, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Congressman Hakeem Jeffries.all of them, more Repuglican than Democrat, notably Harris, Biden, and Jeffries
A familiar Carney pattern
Her Democratic connections put her in good company in Carney circles. The chief operating officer in Carney’s PMO is Maia Johnson, a former campaign worker and donor for top Democrats but really Republicans before also moving into the finance world.
Karniol-Tambour has an impressive résumé and a stellar career. Saying that she is returning to a Canada that she’s never really lived in is a stretch.
She is, like Carney and many of those in his circle, part of the group that Stephen Harper referred to as the “anywheres.” In his book Right Here, Right Now, Harper described the disconnect between those rooted to a place and the anywheres who were part of the global laptop class, the kind of people who show up at the World Economic Forum.
$25 billion on the table
Well now, Karniol-Tambour has a very big job before her. She has to take that $25 billion worth of borrowed money and do something with it to improve Canada’s fortunes.
She will be asked to do this on behalf of a risk-averse country while reporting to politicians who love to pick winners and losers, using money that belongs to the people to advance their pet projects.
If Karniol-Tambour thought the cutthroat world of hedge funds in and around New York was a tough place to work, she ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
I’m [laughing]. Welcome to the absurd world of corporate PR. Look at the quote some flack put into the mouth of Nir Bar Dea, the CEO of Bridgewater Associates, the US hedge fund where Karniol-Tambour has worked for 20 years.
“[A] proud Canadian”. She’s never lived here!
Duplicitous, stupid & so cynical.and oh so very evil

I’ve spreadsheeting the subsidies from both the federal and provincial governments. It is staggering. Once you factor in infrastructure paid for by the taxpayers (Peace River Dam, Site C, hydro connections, transmission lines, pipelines) it is mind blowing.
Subsidizing domestic entities is bad enough, but foreign ones makes it worse.
Corporate welfare, violations of indigenous rights, civil, charter & constitutional rights and C-IRG alone should spur Canadians into action. Instead, all I hear is a cheerleading squad.
