Carney defends deepening Turkey ties amid LGBTQ+ crackdown

Prime Minister Mark Carney defended deepening ties with Turkey in Istanbul on Friday, even as Turkish authorities crack down on LGBTQ+ groups. He called his approach "values-based realism," meaning doing business with countries even when Canada disagrees with their conduct. "Engagement is not approval," he said. Turkey's government says the crackdown aims to protect children and family values.
