They aren't.

George Etienne Cartier's family claimed to be distantly related to the explorer Jacques Cartier through the male line. Not sure how distantly related. The details aren't clear.

He may have been a descendent of Pierre Cartier, Jacques' brother. George Etienne's family came from the same small village Prulier, Anger, France, as did Jacques Cartier. This may simply have been a family legend, rather than fact. Hard to determine.
