Exactly.
Poilievre hasn’t ducked talking about these questions, but he has been reluctant to use the same straight-talking language. Where Trump’s executive order on women’s spaces says sex is ‘grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality’, Poilievre says he is ‘only aware of two genders’. And while the Canadian Conservative leader has since come around to banning puberty blockers, he was still uncertain about calling out child transitioning as recently as 2023.
If Poilievre were to take a stronger stand on these issues and put them at the forefront of his campaign, he could win by a landslide. Despite appearances, most Canadians are not insane. They know just as well as anyone that sex cannot be altered, and that to say so is not hateful. They need a prime minister who is prepared to stand with them.
