Prime Minister Mark Carney’s surprise attendance at the Vancouver Pride parade on Sunday raised eyebrows after several photos emerged of him embracing nearly naked or fetish-clad attendees.

For example, in one photo that went viral over the weekend, Carney can be seen embracing a nearly naked man wearing little more than a pink g-string that exposed his bare buttocks. The image invoked so much shock and disbelief that many social media onlookers assumed it was AI-generated.

However, the photo was distributed by Reuters to several legacy media outlets worldwide.

Another photograph from the event showed Carney appearing gleeful next to a man in “puppy play” fetish gear. This gear bore a striking resemblance to the attire worn by two other men previously photographed with former NDP leader Jagmeet Singh prior to the 2025 Canadian federal election.

Months ago, a Vancouver teacher was suspended after his online “pup fetish identity” was discovered.

Carney defended himself to reporters by saying that Vancouver’s Pride event “celebrates diversity” in a “very positive way” and represents the “essence of Canada.”
