What we can confirm

Available reporting specifically attributes the claim to a Toronto Star analysis of government procurement data: Carney repeatedly promised to build and buy Canadian, while American-controlled multinational corporations received $7.8 billion in federal contracts. The available evidence supports the core claim, although the wording compresses a broader procurement analysis and does not establish that Carney's pledge caused the contracts to go to U.S. corporations.
