Canadian veteran calls out Pierre Poilievre for ignoring harms of gender ‘transitions’

Canadian military vet. Jeff Evely, whose daughter was subjected to sex-change mutilation, said he tried unsuccessfully to get Pierre Poilievre to oppose a bill banning ‘conversion therapy.’

(LifeSiteNews) — A Canadian military veteran said this week that Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre did not “want to hear” evidence of negative harms from his daughter’s “sex-change” mutilation before he voted in favor of a bill banning “conversion therapy” in 2021.

Jeff Evely said he spoke with Poilievre in 2021 about concerns about so-called “sex-change” transitions for children that happened to his daughter.

Evely spoke to members of Parliament in Ottawa on May 5 along with a group of activists opposed to “gender ideology” and calling for an end to gender “transitions.”

He was asked if Poilievre or another politician had any correspondence with him. Evely answered, “Zero.”

“You know, I think that because of the unanimous vote on Bill C-4, which was a whipped vote when Erin O’Toole was leader of the Conservative Party, I think they’re going to have a really hard time coming back from this and saving their careers,” he said.

“So I think that, like I said in my speech, that because the people, all the people who voted for this, they’re now the senior most MPs in the House of Commons. The rank and file don’t want to call it out for fear of losing their party status like we saw with Derek Sloan a few years ago.”

Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government banned so-called “conversion therapy” via Bill C-4 in 2021, which prohibits parents, counselors, and pastors from helping children accept their God-given bodies.

Poilievre, who was not party leader at the time, stood side by side with the Liberals and voted for Bill C-4, as did many Conservative MPs.
