00:00:00.000 If you care about the issues of parental rights and the safety of children, this week in Canadian politics has been hyperproductive.
00:00:07.480 First, we had Alberta Premier Daniel Smith coming up with new proposed legislation to gird up parental rights in the province of Alberta
00:00:14.540 and ban certain medications and medical procedures from being administered to minors underneath a certain age.
00:00:21.080 And now we have federal conservative leader Pierre Polly taking a stance against giving puberty blockers to anyone below the age of 18.
00:00:28.900 An even more hawkish position than even Daniel Smith's, but I believe it is absolutely the correct position. 0.63
00:00:35.120 You do not give medications that are going to stunt the growth of adolescents to them just because they're anxious about their gender.
00:00:42.320 You cannot let people who cannot consent to many things consent to permanently damaging their bodies into the future, stunting their own growth.
00:00:51.220 This is a fantastically logical position for Polly and the Conservatives to be taking, and I think it's actually going to increase their popularity a lot.
00:00:59.460 But before I get to the video of Polly answering this question, I just want to do a quick, shameless plug that I, Wyatt Claypool, am running for the Calgary Signal Hill Conservative Party nomination.
00:01:09.800 So if you live on the west side of Calgary, see which riding you live in.
00:01:13.900 This is what the riding boundaries are going to look like after April when they do some boundary redistributions to make up for the three new ridings Alberta's getting.
00:01:22.080 So the Greenbara and Bowness area is being cut out.
00:01:24.480 If you live there, don't buy a membership for me.
00:01:26.900 Other than that, if you live in any other part of the riding, buy a membership.
00:01:30.100 We want to make sure we have real strong Conservatives in these strong Conservative ridings and not O'Toole-style red Tories who are going to duck issues like this one on puberty blockers, hormones, and parental rights.
00:01:42.440 Anyways, getting back to it, here is Mr. Polly answering this question just this morning.
00:01:48.200 Mr. Polly, Mr. Polly.
00:01:50.060 Do you support age restrictions for puberty blockers and hormone therapies for trans kids?
00:01:54.660 Mr. Polly.
00:01:55.660 I think that Justin Trudeau is trying to divide and distract Canadians by spreading disinformation about the decisions that premiers and parents are making.
00:02:07.140 Mr. Polly.
00:02:07.640 What do you think?
00:02:08.640 Mr. Polly.
00:02:09.640 I want to know your position.
00:02:10.640 Mr. Polly.
00:02:11.640 I want to know your position.
00:02:12.640 Mr. Polly.
00:02:13.640 It's your own party policy.
00:02:14.640 Mr. Polly.
00:02:15.640 I think we should protect the rights of parents to make their own decisions.
00:02:17.640 Mr. Polly.
00:02:18.640 With regards to their children.
00:02:20.640 And I believe that adults should have the freedom to make any decision they want about their body.
00:02:24.660 Mr. Polly.
00:02:25.660 With minors?
00:02:26.660 Mr. Polly.
00:02:27.660 But should you ban surgeries and medical interventions for minors as your own party members suggested?
00:02:29.660 Mr. Polly.
00:02:30.660 Medical interventions like what?
00:02:31.660 Mr. Polly.
00:02:32.660 That is the language that your party used.
00:02:33.660 Mr. Polly.
00:02:34.660 What medical interventions?
00:02:35.660 Mr. Polly.
00:02:36.660 Well, you would have to ask your party members.
00:02:37.660 Mr. Polly.
00:02:38.660 What medical interventions?
00:02:39.660 Mr. Polly.
00:02:40.660 Such as puberty blockers and hormone reformers.
00:02:41.660 Mr. Polly.
00:02:42.660 For minors?
00:02:43.660 Yes.
00:02:44.660 Mr. Polly.
00:02:45.660 Yes.
00:02:46.660 Mr. Polly.
00:02:47.660 Yes.
00:02:48.660 Mr. Polly.
00:02:49.660 Yes.
00:02:50.660 Mr. Polly.
00:02:51.660 Yes.
00:02:52.660 Mr. Polly.
00:02:53.660 You said yes, just to be clear, you said yes, only adults should take puberty blockers.
00:03:00.660 Mr. Polly.
00:03:01.660 I think we should protect children.
00:03:05.660 Let them make adult decisions when they become adults.
00:03:07.660 Mr. Polly.
00:03:08.660 Does that mean you are against puberty blockers for kids under the age of 18?
00:03:12.660 Mr. Polly.
00:03:13.660 Yes.
00:03:14.660 Mr. Polly.
00:03:15.660 Can I ask you about in Alberta?
00:03:16.660 Mr. Polly.
00:03:17.660 Mr. Polly.
00:03:18.660 another comment on this. Justin Trudeau is again puffing out his chest trying to divide Canadians
00:03:24.080 and attack parents who are trying to protect their kids. He will in the end back down on this
00:03:30.240 just like he had to back down on his firearms policy, just like he had to back down on bringing
00:03:37.200 in medical assistance and dying for people suffering from mental illness, just like he's 0.72
00:03:43.140 backing down again and again and again. He will back down on this because he is not interested in
00:03:49.240 protecting kids. He's interested in using this as a divisive wedge to distract from doubling housing
00:03:56.200 costs and quadrupling carbon taxes on our people. That's an amazing clip. I especially love that
00:04:06.760 he's calling Justin Trudeau's bluff. And I think what he's trying to do there is he's actually going
00:04:11.020 to try and make Justin Trudeau double down on his position on giving puberty blockers to minors and
00:04:16.320 all this kind of trans rights kind of stuff. Because by saying that Justin Trudeau is going to back down,
00:04:21.700 maybe he can make Justin Trudeau not back down right away. And Justin Trudeau might even double
00:04:26.240 down and make himself look like a complete fool. But I love that clip from the media's reactions. 0.99
00:04:33.240 I love also the way that Pierre Polyev handled it. Some people when they say, well, Polyev hasn't taken
00:04:38.440 a stance on this yet. Well, he hasn't taken a stance on this yet. Sometimes, and I literally
00:04:43.180 have a master's degree in public policy in my undergrads also in policy studies, you're waiting
00:04:47.420 for windows of opportunity, for policy windows to open up. And just the reporters asking him the
00:04:54.420 questions in that manner opened up a great window. When he said puberty blockers and hormones, for who?
00:05:00.460 And they're like, minors, for minors. And just the way he said that immediately made them look like
00:05:05.300 the absurd ones, because they are. But you have to maneuver into the right position to make it so
00:05:10.100 clear that you're on the right side of history. And these people are crazy. And just all the gaggle 0.99
00:05:15.520 of reporters being like, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? No puberty blockers for
00:05:20.620 minors? No hormone therapy for minors? It sounds like they're getting into a really cold bath.
00:05:26.600 Like, yes, we shouldn't be giving toxic drugs to minors. I'm not sure who you guys are, or what
00:05:36.140 you like, like, who are these people? Why do journalistic outlets employ these idiots? It's 1.00
00:05:42.520 obviously a bad thing. You should not be giving Luperon, or whatever it's called, to boys in order
00:05:48.500 to basically chemically castrate them. And again, you can make these decisions as an adult,
00:05:55.220 just as any adult can make decisions if they get a tattoo, if they drink, all this other stuff,
00:06:00.060 if you smoke cigarettes. This is one of those things where there's obviously not a real healthcare
00:06:05.500 angle to using these drugs. There is just the idea that, well, kids will be depressed if you don't let
00:06:12.240 them use these. Well, why are kids for some reason needing these drugs suddenly in the year 2024,
00:06:18.240 when if I went back to the 1960s, no kid were saying, well, I better get some Luperon, or I'm like,
00:06:24.100 or I'm going to be depressed because I'm actually the other gender. Obviously, gender theory, and
00:06:28.780 obviously, the sort of confusion that the Marxist sort of class of our society has tried to inject
00:06:34.560 into our school system and into our culture is affecting kids. Kids are extremely impressionable,
00:06:40.520 and I don't think that anyone should be surprised that this has become a cultural phenomenon. But the
00:06:46.020 good thing is that 80% of Canadians are still on side for many of the parental rights,
00:06:52.100 like measures. I don't think that the liberals are going to want to run on this issue. It's a
00:06:58.080 stupid wedge issue because nobody agrees with them. 80% of people pretty much support parental rights 1.00
00:07:03.620 and don't think that kids should be given irreversible medical interventions because
00:07:08.980 they're confused about their gender. That's actually a very bigoted thing to do to a child.
00:07:13.180 It's bigotry against childhood. It's saying that every little thought that you have,
00:07:17.820 every anxiety that you have needs to be medicated, that parents need to be starting to bring you to
00:07:22.720 the doctor and see what we can do to make the anxiety go away. Just let your kid be a little
00:07:27.280 bit anxious about growing up. Every kid was anxious about growing up. It's a very strange time of your
00:07:32.900 life where you're not quite an adult and life is very weird and hard to understand, but you don't
00:07:38.220 have the naivete of a very young child anymore. For some reason, we're almost criminalizing that,
00:07:44.200 or at least the left wants to criminalize that and basically say, oh, you're anxious about your
00:07:48.440 gender? Well, take these pills. No, that's insane. And there's so much social pressure that goes along 1.00
00:07:54.160 with the decisions that kids are making these days to transition, to take these medical interventions.
00:08:00.420 Again, look at the studies that show if you don't do anything when a child is confused about their
00:08:05.940 gender, they identify as the sex that they were at birth as soon as they hit adulthood,
00:08:13.580 because it's just something that they had to get over. It's something that they had to work out in
00:08:17.460 their own minds, in their own hearts over time, not immediately stuck with drugs that are going to
00:08:22.480 basically lock them into that decision, at least in the medium to long term.
00:08:28.980 Anyways, that's it for me today. Again, I'm Wyatt Claypool. I'm running for the Calgary Signal Hill
00:08:33.740 Conservative Party nomination. My website's in the description below, WyattClaypool.com. If you live in
00:08:38.980 the area, buy a membership to vote for me, we don't want some useless red Tory representing us 0.83
00:08:43.600 in this area. And also I have my legal fund linked in the description below. If you were being sued
00:08:49.640 by a billionaire, it's a completely stupid, fallacious lawsuit where this one guy thought 1.00
00:08:55.760 like we didn't even, he's suing us for defamation. He couldn't even file any evidence when he was 1.00
00:09:00.580 supposed to. He literally owed me $1,800 during the evidentiary filing periods of this case,
00:09:06.060 because he waited like a month and a half longer than he had to actually file. And his evidence
00:09:11.060 was his LinkedIn profile, his company website, the article our guest writer wrote about him and his
00:09:16.100 notice of libel about it. At no point does he actually have any evidence that proves what was
00:09:20.640 said was wrong. He's just mad about it and throwing money at us, assuming that he can bankrupt me into
00:09:25.880 just apologizing to him or him like default winning the case. So any dollars you guys can throw into
00:09:32.100 this illegal fund really helps take the burden off of us. We don't need to put like 90% of our income
00:09:37.780 into actually paying for this legal defense. Anyways, that should be it for me today. I'll see
00:09:43.780 you guys in another video or live stream later on today.
