Gould: Carney’s comments mark departure from ‘feminist’ foreign policy comment
Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed Canada dropped the feminist foreign policy label but continues to uphold LGBTQ+ rights and combat violence against women.
- On Sunday, Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters at the G20 leaders' summit in Johannesburg, `Yes, we have that aspect to our foreign policy, but I wouldn't describe our foreign policy as feminist foreign policy`.
- Distancing from Trudeau-era policy accompanied calls to broaden trade outreach, Carney framed the change as part of equality talks with non-U.S. trade partners who may not prioritize gender equality.
- Carney said his government will continue to defend LGBTQ+ rights and combat violence against women, and Gould told The Canadian Press `The ideals that he was talking about continue to be feminist`, reaffirming Canada's commitment.
- On Monday, NDP MP Leah Gazan criticized Carney, saying `Prime Minister Carney is making it very clear he is no friend to women and he is no friend to gender equality in this country`, sparking debate in the House of Commons.
- Carney noted the G20's South African presidency prioritizes gender-based violence and female equality, adding Trudeau's government declared a feminist foreign policy but never detailed its implementation.
