Writing on X to Prime Minister Mark Carney about his 2021 book Values, Jordan Peterson said, 'If you'd be willing to debate any of my analysis and claims, you have an open invitation to my podcast.'
(LifeSiteNews) -- Well-known Canadian psychologist and popular podcaster Jordan Peterson has challenged Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to speak with him on his podcast.
In a March 8 post on X, Peterson offered to host Carney on his podcast, noting that while he disagrees with many of his ideas, he will offer him a chance to debate them publicly.
"Dear @MarkJCarney: as you may have concluded from my review of your book Values, I have my doubts about the validity of your ideas--all of them," Peterson wrote, linking to a National Post article in which Peterson details the flaws of Carney’s 2021 book.
"If you'd be willing to debate any of my analysis and claims, you have an open invitation to my podcast," he offered.
"My recent discussion with @PierrePoilievre was arguably the most watched Canadian political discussion ever: 50 million plus views--in case you're wondering about my reach," he continued.
"I've had my producer reach out to your team, but thought I should make my offer public," Peterson declared. Alternatively, you could continue talking to a few hundred people at a time on @CBC."
To date, Carney has not publicly responded to the invite.
In fact, since announcing his bid to become prime minister, Carney has only done one sit-down interview, appearing on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart in January.
Carney's lack of public engagement has seen him accused of being hostile to alternative media outlets, an accusation that began in earnest when no less than four journalists from independent media were forcefully barred from attending his January press conference at which he first announced his bid for Liberal leader.
Carney, whose ties to globalist groups have had Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre call him the World Economic Forum’s “golden boy,” has a history of promoting anti-life and anti-family agendas, including abortion and LGBT-related efforts. He has also previously endorsed the carbon tax and even criticized Trudeau when the tax was exempted from home heating oil in an effort to reduce costs for some Canadians.
Just recently, Carney criticized U.S. President Donald Trump for targeting woke ideology, and has vowed to promote “inclusiveness” in Canada.
Carney has also said that he is willing to use all government powers, including “emergency powers,” to enforce his energy plan if elected prime minister.
