Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who embodies the phrase, “Often mistaken, Never in doubt” weighed in on Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s new policies on transgender-identifying youth.
In a scrum with reporters on Friday, PM Douche-Nozzle was asked what he thought about the new policies and he went off essentially calling the moderate reforms harmful and tucked in a snide comment about allowing Tucker Carlson to speak to Albertans.

What Trudeau (and other Libs in North America) refuse to acknowledge is that the data on this sort of treatment for gender confusion in youth is unreliable at best.
Even the New York Times published an article today warning about the pitfalls of so-called “gender-affirming” medical interventions with a few heartbreaking profiles of de-transitioners.
that has faced increased scrutiny in recent years. Under that model of care, clinicians are expected to affirm a young person’s assertion of gender identity and even provide medical treatment before, or even without, exploring other possible sources of distress.
The other thing that stands out is that Trudeau shortened the acronym to just LGBTQ — what happened to the AI+ or the Indigenous concept of “two-spirit” that was tacked onto the front of LGBTQ? I have been reliably told that it’s erasing their identities by not acknowledging them.
Back to the real issue…
So, what’s got Bigot Trudeau’s panties in a bunch?
Premier Smith’s quite moderate reforms on the medical transition of children that is still more liberal than some European countries that have pulled back significantly on these protocols.
Instead of banning this sort of sterilization and mutilation outright, Premier Smith’s new policies include: waiting until kids are over 15 before any type of medical transition begins, a focus on parental involvement and consent, banning boys from girls’ sports, consultation with mental health professionals, and informed consent and opt-in from parents when teachers bring up the topics of gender identity, sexual orientation, and sexuality in class.
Gender identity can be a hard thing to talk about, especially when you are involved. But this conversation is extremely important and parental involvement is critical. Kids need to know we love and support them.

It’s a pretty milquetoast position for a conservative, actually. Of course, this is Canada, so it’s considered “far-right.”
And just like apple-eating Pierre Poilievre, Premier Smith knows how to handle hostile media.

I don’t expect that the virtue signalling far-left Prime Minister whose IQ is probably lower than his shoe size will get that, though.
