(LifeSiteNews) — This one must feel like the Ides of March for Justin Trudeau: LGBT activists are calling on Justin Trudeau to resign and turn the Liberal Party and 24 Sussex over to someone else because he may well lose. From CTV:
As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau digs in his heels and pledges to stay on as Liberal leader despite dwindling public support, some LGBTQ2S+ activists say he is putting [so-called] queer and gender diverse people at risk. Queer advocates say a Conservative government led by Pierre Poilievre would be dangerous for [homosexual and gender-confused] Canadians, and some are pushing for Trudeau to step aside to give the Liberals a better chance of winning the next election – which must be held on or before Oct. 20, 2025.
As one of my friends joked: Et tu, LGBTQ? There is an incredible irony here. LGBT activists, Trudeau very much included, constantly use hyperbolic language to insist that any opposition to the LGBT agenda – from “misgendering” to opposing “sex changes” for children – poses a genuine danger to the lives of people who identify as LGBT. This rhetoric is incredibly effective as blackmail and has been used to great effect by LGBT activists. Now, that same weaponized language is being turned on Trudeau himself: If he refuses to resign as prime minister and turn 24 Sussex over to someone else, he is “putting queer and gender diverse people at risk.” More from CTV:
The executive director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Queer Research Initiative said she’s concerned about the potential harm of a Conservative government for queer Canadians [sic]. She pointed to Poilievre’s comments saying minors should not have access to puberty blockers and transgender[-identifying] athletes should be barred from women’s sports and change rooms. “The normalization of this rhetoric is dangerous, and so are the potential policies that he could implement,” Sarah Worthman said… Meanwhile, Worthman said the Liberals would have a better chance of beating the Conservatives if they switched Trudeau out for someone new, but she didn’t say with whom. Worthman added that the federal NDP, led by Jagmeet Singh, would also benefit from a change in leadership.
It bears mentioning that currently, the policies of the federal Conservative Party of Canada on gender ideology are quite literally to the left of the UK’s liberal Labour government, which is currently defending a ban on puberty blockers for minors. They don’t get credit for this, mind you – it simply means that the evidence that these practices are damaging is now so overwhelming that not even the normally servile Labour politicians want to risk kowtowing to the LGBT movement this time. While Poilievre has stated that he opposes puberty blockers for minors, the Conservatives have yet to endorse any similar ban.
Encouragingly, CTV reported that the Conservative Party “did not provide someone for comment, but instead sent an email with a series of transcribed answers that Poilievre gave to journalists between June 2023 and February 2024 on LGBTQ+ issues.” That included a reiteration of Poilievre’s opposition to puberty blockers as well as his statement that “female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males.” In response, Helen Kennedy of the LGBT organization Egale Canada claimed that Canada has seen a spike in alleged hatred towards LGBT-identified Canadians, and that:
“[This has left] members of our community to feel like they’re being hunted at the moment by their own political leaders. Certainly not every conservative is anti-LGBTQ, but right at the moment it appears that the leader of the federal Conservative party is using this as a vote-getter. It’s really based on political opportunism and it’s really alarming.”
Consider how paranoid you have to be to believe that homosexual and gender-confused individuals are being “hunted” by political leaders in a country where the leader of every single major political party feels the need to genuflect to those same people. If there’s any hunting going on, it’s politicians desperate for a photo op with a drag queen so that they can prove to the CBC that they’re not bigots. Right now, the LGBT movement owns the Canadian establishment, lock, stock, and barrel. Politicians grovel for their approval. The taxpayers fund their exhibitionist parades and carnivals of public carnality. The taxpayers fund most of their activist organizations, too, for that matter.
Of course, their ongoing grift demands that they continue to pose as victims. And so despite the fact that they wield an immense amount of cultural power, they insist that anyone who does not agree to every aspect of their dangerous worldview poses a threat to their very existence. At least this time, Trudeau is on the receiving end, as well. His choice is clear: step down or put the lives of “queer and gender diverse people” at mortal risk. I didn’t make the rules, but Trudeau has been one of the most prominent enforcers of them for his entire sordid career. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
