Carney defends doing business with countries that don’t share Canada’s values

Prime Minister Mark Carney stood firm in supporting trade with nations criticized for human rights violations, asserting that few countries fully align with Canada's values. During his visit to Turkey, Carney emphasized that diplomatic engagement doesn't imply endorsement, though he refrained from commenting on whether he directly confronted President Erdogan about his government's repressive measures. This stance underscores Canada's complex approach to global trade, balancing economic interests with ethical concerns.
