Maxime Bernier calls out Poilievre for muzzling MPs on gender mutilation of kids: ‘Fake Conservatives’
Maxime Bernier reminded Canadians that Pierre Poilievre and his ‘fake Conservatives’ voted alongside the Liberals to pass Bill C-4, ‘which criminalizes parents and counsellors trying to help confused children.’

(LifeSiteNews) –– Leader of the People’s Party of Canada, Maxime Bernier, has strongly criticized federal Conservative Party of Canada head Pierre Poilievre, after Poilievre banned his MPs from commenting on Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s decision to ban doctors from surgically “transitioning” children.
“[Poilievre] and his fake Conservatives voted unanimously with the Libs and the other establishment parties for C-4, which criminalizes parents and counsellors trying to help confused children who are being encouraged by woke teachers to identify as another sex,” wrote Bernier on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday.
Poilievre has good reasons to avoid addressing the new Alberta policy that puts limits on the transitioning of minors. And it’s not because it’s a provincial issue, since there’s a federal aspect to it.

Bernier noted how Poilievre’s past support of the “trans lobby” prevents him from letting his MPs speak out.
“After siding with the far-left and the trans lobby, there’s nothing relevant he can say about this issue,” he said.
“He painted himself into a corner.”
Bernier opposes radical transgender ideology including the so-called transitioning of minors, and said because Poilievre supported Bill C-4, he “just bullsh**s with the same empty talking points.”
The reality of the matter is, the Conservatives have a poor track record when it comes to issues regarding transgenderism. In 2021, the federal Liberal Party under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau passed Bill C-4 into law with the help of the Conservative Party and with Poilievre’s support, although he was not the leader of the party at the time.
The bill bans so-called “conversion therapy” and punishes anyone helping children or others with gender confusion or unwanted same-sex attraction with jail time of up to five years. It is illegal in Canada for anyone to try and reverse a person’s orientation from homosexual to heterosexual, even if that person is an adult who is voluntarily seeking help.
