Meet Tony Kourianos and KENNETH PHILLIPS.

They both used to be coal miners in the United States until their careers were halted by black lung.

They’re among countless coal miners who have had the misfortune of trying to get benefits from ROCKWOOD CASUALTY INSURANCE.

Why does this matter to Canadians? Because Mark Carney was making money off Rockwood through his company, Brookfield.

Under his tenure as chair, Brookfield bought Rockwood’s parent company, Argo Group, in 2023 for $1.1 billion. Despite advocating for a coal-free future, Brookfield continued to profit from coal terminals and power plants.

Mark Carney saw this business as a cash cow. Of course, this vision came at the expense of workers depending on Rockwood for the treatments and medications they need.

Carney’s strategy? The less money he spends on sick workers, the more money that ends up in his pocket.

Carney's company, known for fighting black lung claims, used aggressive legal tactics to deny or delay benefits, forcing miners like Tony and Kenneth into years-long legal battles.

Kenneth, diagnosed with black lung at 46, was prescribed life-saving medication, Ofev,

but Carney's company refused to cover its $14,000/month cost. Tony, after nearly 40 years in mining, had to take Carney's company to the US Supreme Court just to secure the benefits he was entitled to.

Another miner, Teddy Wright, died of pancreatic cancer that was hastened by his black lung. His widow, Josie, is still fighting Carney’s company to get her survivors’ benefits.

If this is how Carney’s company treats sick workers, how will he treat Canadians?
