As Canada prepares for an election to be called, past statements by Prime Minister Mark Carney are raising eyebrows, including a comment about whether there should be “a market in the right to have children.”

Buried within his 2021 book Value(s) and past BBC lectures, Carney explored the controversial ideas of Harvard philosopher Michael Sandel, who he has cited as an influence

Carney posed shocking questions about whether society should place a price tag on fundamental human rights.

He asks: “Should sex be up for sale? Should there be a market in the right to have children? Why not auction the right to opt out of military service?”

These questions are not new and have been picked up by critics in the past including by author and columnist Peter Foster, but they are resurfacing again as Canadians learn more about Carney.

In his book, Carney explores in depth the deadly ideas of communists like Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, and Vladimir Lenin.

He uses them as a springboard to push for a worldview where free markets are tightly controlled to accommodate his ideas of environmental and social justice. Carney’s book argues that the pursuit of profit has led to moral decay and a worsening “climate emergency.”

As reported in the exclusive series “Mark Carney’s Values”, the former central banker and new Canadian prime minister outlined his crystal clear vision for the world. In his 2021 book, Carney admonished politicians who abandoned carbon taxes, saying they should be held accountable by voters, despite attempting to do the same when it became politically convenient.

Carney has also advocated for central bank digital currencies to replace the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency, comparing their potential introduction to the fear used to implement pandemic measures.

The new prime minister also has a history of injecting diversity, equity and inclusion ideology into his former workplaces and advocating for identity-based hiring.

Despite Carney’s attempts to present himself as a fresh start to the Liberals, his past statements and willingness to explore such out-of-touch ideas are catching up to him. His critics argue that his thinking reflects radical left-wing policies that ultimately lead to government control over personal freedoms, raising serious questions about what an unbridled Carney government could look like.
