OTTAWA — Conservative MPs were told not to post online or talk to media about competing protests on Parliament Hill that saw protesters clashing over how schools should handle LGBTQ+ issues.
The Canadian Press obtained a copy of the message sent to members of Pierre Poilievre's caucus, which warned them not to speak publicly about the issue and provided talking points they could use to communicate with their constituents.
The memo about protests organized all over Canada says protesters have"legitimate points to make" about the issue of what it describes as"parental rights." Both New Brunswick and Saskatchewan introduced education policies that make it a rule for schools to obtain a parent's consent if a student under 16 wants to be called by a different name or pronoun.
The preamble to the suggested talking points said protesters"enjoy the freedom of assembly and expression" to make the points they are raising, and that all MPs would be attending party caucus meetings Wednesday. In response to the protests, Trudeau tweeted on Wednesday that"transphobia, homophobia and biphobia have no place in this country," and that he stands in support of the LGBTQ+ community.Since becoming leader, Poilievre has tried steering the party to be laser-focused on issues around affordability and housing prices.
