The Carney Cabal: How Your Tax Dollars Became a $308 Million “Consulting” Fee for Phantom Friends… An Explosive Investigation into the Shadow Government of the “Big 4”

In the dimly lit, mahogany-paneled boardrooms of Ottawa and Toronto, a shocking, infuriating, and absurd transfer of wealth is taking place. The Carney Administration, led by the man now derisively nicknamed “Corrupt Carney,” isn’t just governing Canada—it’s auctioning it off, piece by piece, to a cartel of “professional services” firms. As revealed by a National Observer exposé, this isn’t mere outsourcing; it is a vile, systemic corruption hiding in plain sight under the bland label of “consulting.”

At the heart of this scandal is one jaw-dropping, unconscionable number: $308 million. That’s what Canada paid to a single firm, Deloitte, in one year. For what? The stunning answer is: No one knows. It is the ultimate phantom invoice, a $308 million mystery charge to the Canadian people.

The “Big 4” Shadow Government: Your Tax Dollars at “Work” (Or Not)

The article pulls back the curtain on a scandalous dependency. The federal government is not merely using Deloitte, EY, KPMG, and PwC—it is addicted to them, surrendering its core policy and analytical functions to a for-profit oligopoly with a checkered global history of scandals.

This is not just wasteful. It is structurally corrupt. The line between “consultant” and “co-conspirator” has vanished. When a government pays hundreds of millions for unspecified “services,” it is not buying expertise—it is buying silence, loyalty, and a shared secret. It is the modern, sanitized version of a brown paper bag stuffed with cash.

The ghostly parallel is the ongoing Somali Welfare Fraud Scandal, where millions were funneled to entities that provided no childcare, fed no hungry children, and performed no service whatsoever. The Carney administration’s relationship with the Big 4 reeks of the same malignant spirit: payment for a phantom, for friendship, for nothing.

“Corrupt Carney”: The Goldman Sachs Governor’s Ultimate Revolving Door

Mark Carney didn’t stumble into this mess. He architected it. A creature of the globe-trotting financial elite—former Governor of the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, and a top executive at the controversial Goldman Sachs—Carney’s worldview is one where governance is outsourced to the expensive, well-connected suits in boardrooms.

His nickname, “Corrupt Carney,” is not mere schoolyard mockery. It is a resentful public verdict on a leader who treats the public treasury like a venture capital fund for his friends. The “Big 4” are his praetorian guard, a shockingly expensive buffer between the elected government and the people it is supposed to serve.

What are they doing for $308 million? Are they writing reports that sit on shelves? Crafting PowerPoints for Liberal cabinet retreats? Or, in the most absurd and likely scenario, are they simply being paid to be there—to provide the veneer of elite approval for Carney’s policies, to staff a shadow administration loyal not to Canada, but to the partner track at Deloitte?

A History of “Big 4” Scandals: Canada’s Newest Partners in Crime

This isn’t a victimless accounting error. The “Big 4” have a global rap sheet that would make a mob boss blush, and the Carney administration has welcomed them into the heart of government:

• Deloitte: Auditor for the catastrophic Catherine McKenna “Two Billion Trees” boondoggle, which failed spectacularly to meet its goals after receiving massive funding. They were also the auditors for the Chinese Luckin Coffee fraud, missing a $300 million fabrication.

• KPMG: The infamous “Sham” offshore tax avoidance schemes marketed to wealthy Canadians, a scandal so vile it led to Senate hearings and public outrage over a two-tiered tax system.

• PwC: The Australia “Dirty Laundry” scandal, where a senior partner leaked confidential government tax plans to multinational clients for profit, a shocking breach of public trust.

• EY: The global Wirecard audit disaster, where they failed to detect one of Europe’s largest post-war frauds for years, giving a clean bill of health to a criminal enterprise.

These are the firms “Corrupt Carney” has deemed fit to receive $308 million of your money, with no questions asked. It is a reckless, contemptuous betrayal.

The Chilling Conclusion: A Government That Works for Them, Not You

The scary truth is now undeniable. The Carney Administration has created a self-licking ice cream cone of corruption. Taxpayer money flows to the Big 4, who produce “work” that justifies more contracts, which empowers the administration that approves them. The circle is closed, the public is locked out, and accountability is a ghost.

This is not governance. It is a soft coup by consultants. It is the financialization of democracy itself, where every public problem is seen not as a civic duty, but as a billable hours opportunity for Carney’s friends at the club.

$308 million for Deloitte. Millions more for the rest. For what? For “friendship.” For “access.” For corruption so brazen it wears a suit and charges by the hour.

The question for every Canadian is this: Do you have a government, or do you have a consultancy? The Carney Cabal has made its choice. It’s time for you to make yours.
