Asked on Monday about the new transgender health and education policies proposed by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre pointed a finger at Justin Trudeau.
The prime minister, Poilievre claimed, was drawing attention to a provincial policy in an attempt to distract Canadians.
“Justin Trudeau wants to use this as a wedge issue,” Poilievre said.
The Conservative leader claimed Trudeau was also “spreading disinformation” on the subject, although he did not identify the statements he thinks are untrue.
“It’s time for Justin Trudeau to stop distracting and dividing Canadians,” Poilievre said. “Let parents raise kids and provinces run schools and hospitals. That’s my common-sense approach.”
