It's just such a stupid line of reasoning, or as they say, have your cake and eat it too.
Again
Is Carney Successful? Yes
Is he Rich? Yes he's successful
Does he have money invested in businesses? Yes, he's rich
Do those businesses employ finance professionals to reduce their tax burden? Yes it's a business with investors.
Does government policy effect those business? Yes they operate in Canada, or sell good into Canada, or Buy resources from Canada.
Is Poilievre Successful? I guess so

The substitution works either way you look at it.

I actually think the argument gets substantially worse for Poilievre if you add a "why is he rich/ how did he get rich" question in the middle.
It's pretty obvious how Carney got rich. He has held numerous high paying positions involving investment and clearly invested his own money diligently alongside this.
Poilievre seems to have gathered a net worth between 4-25 million on a government salary for 20 years? That is actually absolutely wild and reeks of something foul taking place. Real estate speculation and being a landlord, yet we expect him to actually value affordability in homes? Vague references to crypto investments boosting his worth? Sounds very familiar to a specific cadre in power now in the US.
