"Conservative Opposition to Puberty Blockers and Gender Policies Sparks LGBTQ Community Concern"

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre opposes the use of puberty blockers for minors, aligning with Alberta's new restrictions on transgender medical care, prompting denunciation from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Poilievre believes children should make adult decisions when they are adults and accused Trudeau of using the issue as a divisive wedge. Meanwhile, Ontario Premier Doug Ford avoided discussing the topic during a meeting with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, focusing instead on shared priorities such as fighting the carbon tax.
