Brookfield Asset announced in October that it had shifted its headquarters, part of a series of changes to make its shares more attractive to US investors and gain membership in equity indexes such as the S&P 500...

Brookfield has said that Canadian operations were not impacted as a result of the head-office switch, and as a global investment firm it has long maintained a significant presence in both Toronto and New York, along with other financial centers, including London.

An “HQ can change with the stroke of a pen, but changing incorporation is a much more involved and, in most cases, costly process,” Haynes said in a note on Sept. 30. “We think S&P and other important index providers should always preference incorporation.”

No it's really not. Filing paperwork to change a registration is an objectively different event than moving an office, closing one and opening another.

As I say though. That doesn’t matter to millions of Canadians. The incident has planted doubts about Carney's honesty and integrity. Right or wrong, it has established the narrative his oppositon want. And you'll have a damn hard time changing their supporter's minds now. Whether your points are salient or not.

The incident should have planted doubts about Carney's honesty- the man lied.
But in manner they chose to exploit that lie the CPC are themselves lying. What does that say about their honesty and integrity?
What does trying to skate around that say about the principles of the supporter doing the skating?
What does it do to the CPC's credibility if the LPC finds a way to articulate the truth?

Sounds like politics as usual if you ask me.

I found this. Im in the process of digesting and trying to understand all of the points, pro and con.

Perhaps it contains the answer to your question.

Truth and its political forms: an explorative cartography - Contemporary Political Theory

For some years now, the significance of truth for politics has been intensely debated under the buzzword “post-truth.” However, this cannot hide the fact that political theory and philosophy have systematically neglected the relationship between truth and politics throughout their history. This...
