Prime Minister Mark Carney at Vancouver Pride today; Reuters wisely put a logo on this photo. Pierre Poilievre has never attended a Pride Parade, as far as I'm aware, unless he is at one in Battle River-Crowfoot this week. #CdnPoli 🇨🇦

PM Carney did say he was working for all Canadians!

I’m gay and I always wonder why we feel compelled to dress like that in a public family friendly event. 🤷♂️. It has absolutely zero to do with the guy’s body/looks - just the fact - thong.

I find it interesting that Reuters chose to use this photo for their article. There were plenty of other Official photos that PM Carney posted. Yet this is the one they chose? Trust me not everyone was dressed like that at the event.

Kudos to them for watermarking it very very intensely so it can’t be doctored to humiliate him in the psycho MAGA world.

But yes- of ALLLLLLL the snaps- why a guy in a pink thong

BINGO! That is exactly why that photo was chosen. It was to rile people up against 2SLGBTQ people.

I’m sure if I was to pop on Xitter it’s already making the rounds in various memes and modified forms. These are the people who do this with ZERO hesitation and zero consequences.

I placed a warning on it because of the language and context. But that’s basically how Xitter is run now.

That type of talk is one of the reasons why I had to leave the place. It is also who Reuters was catering to. It isn't just MAGA but also PP's cronies up here. I wouldn't be surprised if one of our "Canadian" papers that is owned by the US tries to do the same headline.

Mystery solved. It’s not a real Reuters photo. The whole thing is fake. Reuters does NOT have this photo on record.

Thank you for checking that! It did seem suspicious that a news organization would choose that photo. It never dawned on me that it could be AI. Good catch!

I just ran my own tests. It is absolutely 100% a fake. Reverse image search only shows it on social media and it is not in Reuters photo archives. There’s also lighting inconsistencies between Carney and the scene and an arm is missing.

I’m sure. They can spin it saying “we’re just trying to normalize it” but in reality that photo is likely ragebait.

Poilievre has attended many " pride" events 😉

Good on Carney. Who cares what your sexual preferences are anyway?

A relative of mine was bemoaning on Facebook how embarrassing this photo is. Yeah, who would possibly want a leader who makes an effort to connect with their constituents?

Anything can happen in unscripted events, and it did. Mark Carney does Canada proud.
