Summary

Justin Trudeau is spreading disinformation about Alberta s new policy limiting access to gender-reassignment surgery for transgender youth in public schools, and attacking parents who are standing up for their kids. Justin Trudeau should let parents raise kids, and let provinces run schools and hospitals, not the federal government.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Justin Ling, freelance. You often said you support medical freedom, that you oppose the state imposing medical choices on the Canadians.
00:00:09.840 Yesterday you were asked about a new policy in Alberta which restricts health care for transgender youth in particular.
00:00:17.660 You refused to say where you actually stand on those regulations.
00:00:21.100 You attacked journalists who asked you that question as peddling disinformation for the prime minister.
00:00:27.380 So can you say now where you stand on the state restricting health care access for transgender youth?
00:00:34.160 And can you confirm whether or not your caucus is allowed to speak freely on this issue?
00:00:40.680 First and foremost, you are spreading disinformation and you refuse to even describe the policy proposals that are being debated.
00:00:49.140 You refuse to even list any of them.
00:00:50.740 And the reason you do, let's be clear why you don't do it, because you don't want to lose the debate.
00:00:57.780 And so if you keep it vague and you actually refrain from actually describing the policies that Premier Smith is putting in place,
00:01:06.300 then you think that you can misrepresent them and misrepresent conservatives.
00:01:12.320 This is exactly what Justin Trudeau has done.
00:01:14.440 And you notice that Trudeau has not given a single example of any of the policies that Premier Smith has brought forward that he individually disagrees with because he doesn't want to be specific about it.
00:01:26.560 And that's because he and you want to peddle in disinformation in order to demonize Premier Smith and parents.
00:01:38.520 And Justin Trudeau has spread hatred against parents.
00:01:44.940 He's accused Muslim parents of being hateful because they were standing up for their kids.
00:01:50.500 He's attacked Christian parents.
00:01:53.860 He has suggested that parents cannot be trusted with their kids.
00:01:58.240 And I disagree with him.
00:01:59.720 I think we have to trust parents.
00:02:01.680 No one cares for their kids more than parents.
00:02:04.680 And that's why Justin Trudeau should butt out.
00:02:09.000 He should let parents raise kids and let provinces run schools and hospitals.
00:02:13.820 Thank you.
00:02:14.300 Thank you.
