Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said he’s opposed to biological men participating in women’s sports leagues and using their changerooms.
In his response to a direct question on the issue by Rebel News’ reporter David Menzies, Poilievre said that “female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males.”
He also said there isn’t much legislative action he’d propose as Prime Minister to deal with the controversy, noting that many of the spaces in question fall under provincial and municipal jurisdiction.
However, he expressed his support for the idea that “female sports, female change rooms, [and] female bathrooms should be for females, not for biological males.”
The announcement comes after Rebel News’ recent discovery of a girls high school volleyball game that had five transgender women on the court, as well as the unfathomable reality that a swim competition in Markham, Ontario, allowed a 50-year-old biological male to swim against — and share a changeroom with — 13 year-old girls.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has claimed multiple times that “trans women are women.”
Poilievre was speaking in Kitchener, Ontario, from a natural health food store, where he also condemned Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s regulatory measures on natural health supplements, claiming they would drive small businesses out of the market and force Canadians to rely more on pharmaceutical medicines.
The Conservative leader further criticized Trudeau’s immigration policy, accusing him of “opening the floodgates” for international students in a manner that failed to align with the availability of housing and job opportunities.
