Protests against Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s new transgender policy in Calgary, Edmonton
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лют 2024
- In Alberta, there were Saturday rallies in the province's two largest cities to oppose Premier Danielle Smith's sweeping new LGBTQ2S+ regulations on gender identity.
This comes after Smith published a video on social media on Wednesday, saying the government will require parental notification and consent if a child 15 years or younger changes their name and pronouns at school.
Alberta NDP leader Rachel Notley joined protesters in Edmonton, rallying simultaneously with another demonstration in Calgary. All of them expressed anger over Smith's newly announced plan to restrict important procedures for transgender youth.
Global’s Kabilan Moulitharan and Craig Momney speak with concerned protesters on the ground.

Waiting until a child becomes an actual adult capable of making adult life choices, before they're allowed, is not hatred. We don't let them vote, smoke drink, drive and lots of things that have far less impact on their lives before they're adults.
This is the right thing to do. And it's long overdue...
Is it okay to disown your kid for being LGBTQ?
@@raynwolfsbane2084What part of the policy announcement advocate for child disownment?
@@raynwolfsbane2084 well one, gay and trans are completely different things. I know gay people that hate the fact trans, children taking hormones and chopping up their bodies somehow became a group together. Mens restrooms with tampons, adult men showering with young girls, men beating up women in boxing and mma has gone too far already. You cant lose rights you were never entitled to. Second, If it's an issue, they can wait until they're 18 and live on their own, like everything else adults can do..
If little kids can have life changing surgery, they might as well just drink and drive while they're at it...
Exaclty. Thank you Danielle Smith.@@ashleyc506
The problem is now a days a majority of kids change pronouns, identify as different things due to peer pressure and think it’s cool and a trend, they go back to their normal “ identity “ and pronouns once they leave high school or become mature, imagine if a 15 year old changes her/his gender thinking it’s cool and trend , but later regrets it what should they do????? I hope Smith doesn’t back down, we need to protect our children
I need my kids protected from those extremists
You misspelled groomers
@@chrisdeal9945nothing says coward like hiding behind children to express your bigotry against another group.
@@Gek1177
Nothing says "Concerning". Then expecting every parent to relinquish or neglect all personal responsibility for the development of their children base on "Feelings". Sadly gravity is heavy, water is wet, and the sun is in the sky. No identification needed.
@@dawsonholdsworth5371 yeah, there's a lot of bad parents out there that neglect their responsibility to care for their kids.
Mostly for religious reasons.
@@Gek1177
There is also alot of progressive parents out there too, who sell there kids on be what you want to be. And everyone should accept you for that. Which isn't realistic
So where do we find the middle ground?
How about I raise my kids my way, you raise your kids your way.
And stay out of eachothers lane? But no! The assumption is that anyone who believe in a higher power beyond their personal autonomy is single screw away from a fanatic.
No parent is perfect, but kids are still their responsibility.
So in Canada you raise your kids and pay taxes but you have no right to know what your kids are doing this is nonsense, leave kids out of this.
If you want to know whats going on with your child, you should foster a trusting enough relationship with child that they tell you themselves. Allowing other adults to have a bound of trust and support like teachers is helpful for the child and can allow them to come to people other then their parents when they are having issues, especially when the parents do not have the trust of the child. Parents don't own their children and its not a teachers job or duty report on everything the child does. Its damaging to out children to others when they are not ready and that includes their parents, so this is actually looking out for the child's best interests. Again if you want to know what your child is up too or is thinking, make sure they turst you enough to tell you.
@@teranelson826 Blaming parents for their kids getting brainwashed while in school and on social media by radical ideologues is definitely a new low. Maybe the trans advocates can try telling the truth and not being subversive with other people's kids?
@@GuardianKnightoftheRealm teachers would jump for joy if they could puppetmaster the young minds to show up more than half-awake, and wearing deoderant. aint no teacher tellin anyone 'hey, have you tried .. you know, being gay?'
@@teranelson826 It is a teacher's job and duty to report to parents or it wouldn't be called a report card and Parent/teacher interviews. If a child is acting out in class or school the teacher/principal sure as hell reports it to parents, your not their friend, counselor or parent - your a teacher so teach.
Teach the curriculum your trained to teach, the class doesn't need to know your pronouns, doesn't need to know your sexual preference or your ideologues. Just do the job you were hired and paid to do and leave parenting to parents. And if you can't do your job then find another line of work, parents are barely trusting teachers as it is now.
@@AaronTConner No one said anything about being gay. We are talking about transgenderism. And yes, teachers are ABSOLUTELY telling students that they might be trans if they express any discomfort, confusion, or curiosity about gender.
Stop the grooming in schools!!
And the grooming at home 😮😂
@JamesMartin-bz3lq yea munchhausen by proxy is a problem today aswell... affirming gender confusion in children is child abuse
As a trans kid who was made homeless 7 yrs ago. Stop rejecting your lgbt children.

@@jacksonunger439 not really something the government has a role in tbh
Do whatever you want as an adult. But when kids are involved, parents need to be as well. This is not controversial. It is common sense.
You clearly have zero common sense lol
@@LilyWhite-vo1bh you clearly don't know what a parents role is.
You trust parents more than some activist teacher fresh out of University? Fair
@@LilyWhite-vo1bh SHOW ME A CIVILIZATION BUILT ON THIS MADNESS
@@LilyWhite-vo1bh Saying kids can't make life altering decisions on their own isn't common sense? What? It sounds like you're saying children can consent. That's weird.
Population of 1.2 million in Edmonton , only 50 people show up , thats 0.00416666667 %
and yet it's "top news" and no mention of the farmers protests... what a joke
I did not show up because I heard a rumour the Edmonton protest was cancelled to make the Calgary one bigger.
Leaves you wondering why global news are covering this irrelevant story….
@@salgallo1453 Global is a big part of the problem. Global is the propaganda arm of the government, promoting all the government (aka United Nations) agendas.
Counter protestors amounted to a few dozen for a half hour, where were you?
Transitioning children is a $5 BILLION a year industry.
So what?
@JamesMartin-bz3lq So, it's all about the money, not "protecting trans kids" or "trans rights."
@@BathtubBass that's what YOU'RE saying ... ?
@JamesMartin-bz3lq No. That's just what the data shows. What's even funnier is that these so-called anti-corporation/anti-capitalist leftists are the ones who've fallen for the medical industry's trap, hook, line and sinker! The Irony! Hahah
@JamesMartin-bz3lq No, that's what the data is showing. And just like how tobacco lobbyists argued cigarettes are healthy, and just like the sugar lobbyists argued fat is unhealthy. The medical lobbyists are arguing that children can change their gender with no problems at all. If you believe this transitioning crap, you've been duped. But I don't blame you. That's the fault of capitalism.
They got the signs wrong. They should read "protect youth from trans".
Don’t be a hater.
@@ViperishTag I stand by what I said and what I believe. And how is protecting children hateful?
As a Gen X we never had a gender crisis as it wasnt shoved down childrens throats by the education board.
There is no shoving it down the throats. It is knowing you have a choice that has everyone up in arms!
Neither did older millennials, we went through school without being told that we could change our genders and this was better for us. To tell a child they can be any anything and their identity can change on a whim is to destabilize and cause harm to them.
exactly my thoughts
@meh4770 no one is telling them what to do. The only mind-boggling thing here is the lack of empathy that ALL kids need to feel welcome in our communities and be allowed to consult with doctors NOT governments or you anti_folks. It isn't your right to decide for others. It's about choice.
@@katreades-kt8jv so your not considered mature to vote or have a beer but your mature enough to cut off your junk?
Global, maybe you could do a news article about the majority of parents that are elated by Danielles support of children
Exactly. Fair and honest reporting would be good for a change but remember the woke PM is paying the MSM to spread their views.
Agreed.
@@waynehowse2041 That’s exactly what’s happening!! All part of the WEF plan sponsored by Truedope himself
Global is scared to do real journalism, they have their masters to obey.
Global is too biased to report on both sides of the story
The protests convinced me that Smith is right. Everything these losers say proves it.
You are right these protesters are creeps.
Pretty much.
Trams rights advocates always get smoked in debates.
Then they stop half way through and scream transphob then the media runs their smear campaign.
Don’t be a hater.
@@ViperishTag And don't you be a meek little sheep.
@@ViperishTagDo you put that same comment on every thread? 🙄
The policy is actually protecting children from making regretful decisions before their brain has fully developed.
I was a ‘Tom boy’ as a kid. Thank god I didn’t grow up today because no doubt I would have been indoctrinated into thinking that means I’m trans. There are farrr more kids out there who are being socially engineered/ indoctrinated into this than there are people with clinical gender dysphoria
Is that a fact . . . tell me all about the science of it., I'd love to know, and if you say do your research I'll count you as not having a clue. Do you even know what the druigs they are talking about do? How they work? WHEN they need to be used? Yeah I thought so, you're just reacting
?????
@nobrainsnoheadache2434 You have a channel that clearly indicates that you are underage. You've also declared that you have won your argument without the input of your opponent. You are not mature enough to get involved in politics. You need to grow up, and recognize that there are problems in the world that should not concern you. This is a concern for parents.
Protect the kids from professionals who want to profit from genital mutilation.
Amen ! The college of pyshicians should not allow this nonsense !
i thought we had a doctors shortage, but we have doctors to do this crap on children.
Agreed. What happened to the mantra "first, do no harm" of the medical profession? Any doctors that prescribe hormones, puberty blockers to children, or mutilate children with elective surgery under the guise of "gender affirming care" should not be practising medicine and should be criminally prosecuted.
Professional monsters
Sad fact: Surgeons have higher levels of psychopathy than majority of careers.
High functioning psychopaths work best as a surgeon because they won’t dwell on a loss. If anything, their ego hurts, and they won’t allow themselves to mess up again.
Doesn’t surprise me you can find surgeons that would do any kind of surgery, if the price is right.
Protecting children from an angry mob that wants to indoctrinate them into a society that can no longer procreate is the right thing to do.
Postponing the procedure until they are 18, while providing guidance and support, makes sense.
If kids aren’t mature enough to get a tattoo, then they aren’t mature enough to agree to permanent gender-affirming surgery.
Which procedure?
A name change? A name change is a completely reversible procedure; unless the teacher outs a trans youth to their transphobic parents.
Then the trans youth can be beaten, kicked out or worse.
You do have to wait until 18, not that you cared enough to actually check.

One would think that preventing still developing minds from making permanent life changing decisions wouldn't be controversial. When they get older they can serilize themselves as they want.
Thats a MOB OF CONFUSED PPL & KIDS THAT DIDNT HAVE A CLUE OF WHAT THEY WHERE TALKING ABOUT.
This is exactly what was needed to happen to protect these kids from a small group of crazy people.
Crazy of you to say lol
Not exactly a small group. More like 99% of majority. So sorry for you!

@@p0llenp0nyI think you might be confused, he's saying 99% of people are in favour of the new legislation; currently the like to dislike ratio on this is 760:6.5k meaning almost 10x the people are against the protest
I'm so sick of the media posting crap from Advocates for this and that, we need COMMON SENSE, not all this bleeding heart crap. Thank you Daniel Smith for standing up for common sense.
I work with vulnerable sector trans youth in an Alberta city of which there are hundreds at the moment and likely a lot more if these laws get passed unopposed and unchallenged.
When the parents of these children kick them out to the street, they are harmed - greatly. Some are as young as 10 and 11 and presently number in the hundreds.
Question: What exactly would you like to see happen to these trans kids? What would you like done with them?
@@lingyjennifer8399 The same thing to any child, everyone wants them to have a loving family, food, shelter and education. Then when they are an adult, when they can make informed decisions on what to do.
@@lingyjennifer8399your group should focus on teaching them how to live with others around them that will not be forced to accept their views.
@@subjectdelta5348 These are actually not decisions to be made by the child or the result of any confusion, but an awareness by the child of his or her gender identity. It was the same with you, with all of us, and it happens when we are very young. Most around 5-7. Your gender identity was likely in line with your eventual sexual awareness at puberty. This is called being cisgender. This alignment of your sex and gender identity actually makes it hard for you to realize that the two are separate and apart.
Please be aware that every single Western Medical Authority (psychiatric since 2013 with the DSM-5) has determined that being transgender is a Natural Human Condition.
The premier is going against not only the medical establishment, but our constitution.
Thank you.
@@lingyjennifer8399I can agree up to a point. Yes, I can certainly empathize with a child that’s going through something like not feeling like they belong in the body they were born in…that must be heartbreaking, but this is a topic that deserves a solid debate from all sides, not just the progressives. It must include a solid understanding from those that have detransitioned and why as well as those that had the hormone treatment and later have huge, sometimes suicidal, regrets. Surgery and hormone therapy, which is forever life changing, shouldn’t be done on children who are going through gender disphoria, because there can be many reasons for that and those reasons can change in time, sometimes children gravitate to trends of the times or group identities for a limited period.
Progressive science is not science but rather a narrow viewed perspective. We as a society have an obligation to protect children, a) from themselves and b) from the progressive state.
Lets have the Canadian people vote on this and the we will see what Canadians really think ! I am sick of seeing news that was written and paid for by Trudeau!
This has to be the reaction of every province, especially the source of it all, B.C. The brain and emotional washing of kids has to stop. It's quite positive to see that most comments here do agree on this. Now it has to be strongly put forth to the other provincial governments.

Ahh the fringe minority.. if you'd actually listen to the entire press conference, instead of short clips, you'd see she's says at age 18 you can make your own choices about what you want to do to your body. Fair. Anything under that, the parents have talk to thier kids to make that choice along with them. Good or bad. I don't see any of those trans people with kids on camera protesting. If your not a parent. You wouldn't understand. It's the parent job to parent, not protesters, social media or teachers. Parents, protect your children from all this woke nonsense.
My child, our decision, none of your damn business so take your hate and shove it
Total agree
There is something very very wrong when these people are preaching the family is the enemy and parental consent is a violation of rights.
There should be a rally for support of the premier’s decision.
There was a counter protest, 10 people showed up. There is very little support for your side and DS in this case. This impromptu rally for the kids was far larger than any vaccine or trucker organised rally.. Real Albertans oppose Smith on this.
@@johnn17golf"Real Albertans" don't care about children's welfare? Huh.
Hold your ground. The 1% are wrong on this issue
This is tyranny by the minority.
no one is saying "family is the enemy" we are restating the fact that parents tend to not do a great job in caring for and supporting their gender non-conforming kids. Kids are not the property of their parents
Great, now if only Alberta could enact a rent cap, halt international students, immigration, catch up housing, and recover hospital wait times.
U.K. research suggests that when it comes to adolescents who transition, about 10 per cent of them detransition within five years and an additional 20 per cent discontinue treatments, the SEGM said. “Hormones and surgery irreversibly change the body and some of its key functions. And since gender transition is a lifelong process required to maintain a masculinized or feminized appearance, instances of medical detransition - already reaching 30 per cent within just four years of initiating treatment - is an alarming warning signal of high numbers of inappropriate transitions.”
The adults who desire to talk to children who aren’t theirs about sexual ideas & issues are upset. Good. We are talking about less than 1/10th of 1% of the Albertan population. The 99.9% of children who just want to be left alone matter too.
You mean the doctors listening to their needs? If you're getting in the way of that, you're clearly in favor of Big Government.
@@gillesjones7401the sad thing is you probably think that’s a valid argument…. Please leave other peoples children alone.
@@cestmoi7368 right? after all theyre just farm hands
So we just flush the 1/10th of 1% so the rest can be comfortable. They are people too, but you don't care.
@@gillesjones7401so you think that we should allow teachers to sexually abuse children simply because that is the ideals they have?
Are you for real?
How is this even an issue when people can’t afford heat or groceries?
Psy-ops experiment
Because it's part of the multi faceted attack on western culture .
When a politician has no policies to deal with real problems like people worrying about basic issues like food, they find a group to attack to distract people from the fact that they have no policy to deal with the real problems.
Its not an issue! It is totally irrelevant. Pushed by the " scripted" , bought and 100% paid for " news" ( and I use the word news reluctantly).
Exactly. It's just a distraction to keep the masses bickering while we are low on power and gas and food prices skyrocket.
One thing that I would like to understanding, all these
Risk to affect their child for the rest of they lives with heavy medical, and no normal live. These medications sterilized them.
Yeah well premier smith doesn't have a medical degree.
Ironic how they sympathize towards the residential school survivors, yet now they want peoples kids to have this forced on them? I just dont get it.
That is a REALLY good point. There's alot of parallels between this ideology and some of the worst points in human history. You gotta step back and look at society as a whole, then you see the same thing playing out, just in a different context.
Thank you Danielle. Its about time. Give parenting back to the parents.
Thank you Danielle Smith for standing up against this!

the thing they forget, is they are all about transitioning children without parental consent. when the adult child regrets their decision, who gets to pick up the pieces?? the parents!! these "advocates" will be nowhere around to support then. if you want to advocate for transitioning children, you should sign off a contract that you can be sued for medical/mental malpractice in the future. how many "advocates" would be left it that happened?

@@McLovin1759 all these "advocates" would be more than happy to do that. why would they not want to do that? would they not provide a better home than those parents? do you want to stay where you are not wanted? what is the point? it would be a very crappy home environment already if the parents kick them out for that. then they are just looking for a excuse to kick them out. it is called an abusive environment and kids are supposed to be removed from that already. or do you think that just lgbt kids are the only ones with a crappy home life?? big question, why are the advocates so keen to perform irreversible surgery and chemicals on children without parental consent. that is some sick crap in your head if you advocate mutlilating children.

As far as I know. When your born, your either girl or a boy. Once you get older that’s your choice just don’t push it on our children…
So when you are born your born with a sexed body and a sexed brain. Most of the time the sex of the brain and the sex of the body match. Sometimes the brian develops one sex and the body develops as the other sex. So the brian identities as one gender(social sex) and the body is the other sex. Since we cant change the brain, the only way to fix the mismatch is to fix the body. So some people are literally born trans and since toddler become awear of both sex and gender they will not feel comfortable in their own bodies, this is made worse then they reach puberty. So when a child exhibit a consistent desire to be the opposite gender we let the socially transtion and when they are old enough start tharapy(8 or older). Once they reach tanner stage two of puberty, if their gender dysphoria is their then they start puberty blocker to prevent the permanent changes of puberty. At 15-16 the now teen must make a choice to stop the puberty blocker or start taking hormones which will then start the puberty of their choice. Surgery in canada is an option only for 18 yearolds or older. Hope this information helped you understand trans people and their treatment a little bit more.

Question: What exactly would you like to see happen to these trans kids? What would you like done with them?
There is no "morality" when you hurt kids. Shame on you!!!!
@@lingyjennifer8399you have no morals when you try to indoctrinate children instead of trying to help them properly with mental health care. Shame on you!!
@@lingyjennifer8399 Oh really; what evidence did you forge to make that happen anyway?
These children are already being mentally abused by the twisted parents
Based on what evidence? Seems the transphobic parents would rather make their kids suffer than try to make them happy.
Amazing how people these days think disagreement with someone’s lifestyle is abusing them or afraid of them. Let’s put this really clear. Disagreeing with someone is just that its not fear it is not abuse it is simple the person just does not agree with it.
that is why I won’t become a parent.
@@gillesjones7401 And what if these children decide that smoking. doing drugs and drinking alcohol is "best for their own bodies"? Should they be allowed to do all those things too without parental consent?
@@gillesjones7401 the school doesn’t have the place to tell kids to change their gender neither.
Don't force your ideology on anyone. Leave young children alone. They are not your children.
Whats hateful about the majority wanting to protect their child?
Once people stand up it all falls apart. They justify it as hate because they want the say in how they are raised because they feel they know better than the parents.
Allowing trans children to get the help and support they need is not harming anyone. So thier is nothing to protect the majorities children form. I think what the issue is that some people fear their children might turn out tans and they want to force them not to be, but they know that would not play well to the public, so they frame it as "protecting children" when what they mean is forcing children to be the way i think they should be.
It’s hateful if you’re a groomer. Which is basically exactly what they are.
@@teranelson826do you believe that absolutely every child who has claimed to be trans was correct? You think that there is never an instance where a child was influenced by another adult to think they might be trans, when maybe theyre just gay but the stigma of being a man with another man and what their friends would think makes them wish they were a women. Feelings like that can take adults decades to sort out. It's too complex to expect children to sort out. Lots of anecdotal evidence out there of exactly what I'm saying. Gay men and women who claim they might have transitioned when they were younger had they grew up in today's climate and are glad they didn't because they just needed to become comfortable with themselves. Mutilating someones genitals before they're even old enough to be trusted with voting could absolutely be harmful
Is there ANYONE making comments, who knows what the existing written law is in the first place? IN NORTH AMERICA ....THAT'S CANADA AND THE U.S. ......PARENTS ARE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CHILDREN TO THE AGE OF MAJORITY.
Now .....decipher and comprehend what that means and THINK about ALL your comments BEFORE you write something STUPID!!!!
.
Interesting that people are Protesting against protecting children
You misspelled groomers
That's conservatives for yah
Always doing what's worse for everyone
Except the rich of course
I agree with age limits! Parents are the parents. Children are children!!
I could drive a car when I was 12, but not legally until I was 14. I was aware, competent, and perfectly capable, but people like you making stupid laws got in my way
There already were age limits on genital reconstruction surgery. That they included that is a political ploy to distract you and make the protesters look bad when they're protesting the _other_ parts of the bill.
Stop recruiting.. nobody gets gender reassignment before 25 years of age.
The system nowadays already creates a reality, where at least 40% of trans*people repored suicidal ideation and you are willing to make it worse? How cruel of you!
The vast majority of Canadians applaud Danielle Smiths policy. Period.......mic drop
@@gillesjones7401 Thanks tips
There is no research to back up this wild claim you are making. You don’t speak for me. I uphold a families right to talk to a doctor, not have government mandates for all kids. This is nothing to do with grooming. It has to do with the health and safety of each individual child.
@@katreades-kt8jv Groomers be a grooming lol
@@katreades-kt8jv it has everything to do with grooming
@@katreades-kt8jv
You mean the counter research we as society are not allowed to talk about because of censorship and controversy that has made decent taboo.
Easy to be confident when your competing with an opponent with 2 tied arms.
Every province should adopt the policies put forth by Alberta. Leave our kids alone.
Absolutely 👍
Stop medical human trafficking.
My child, our decision and none of your business, so take your hate elsewhere
Soo... Are conservatives going to start caring for their gay and trans kids consistently? Because a lot still get disowned as far as I know...
@@JamesMartin-bz3lq Get your Neuralink. Its 100% safe and effective...dont you trust the experts?
If the Government worried about a children life. We have many child who suffer in poverty their parents are not able to give them enough space because of housing issues. Feed them healthy food because of economical crises. Resolve what really government can do.
Defund the CTV. That would be a good start. The 1% of citizens shall not dictate to the majority. This is not journalism. Common sense will prevail.
As soon as they stop getting handouts from the Liberal party, they'll be quickly headed for bankruptcy.
Yes, but the majority should not dictate to the minority either.
As it would just become 2 wolves agree to eat that 1 sheep.
But I do agree common sense will prevail. (unsarcastically. )
@@dawsonholdsworth5371 what do you think democracy is about? lmao
@@noahsylvester1754
That is democracy. I'm just throwing it out that I personally don't believe that 51% means right or just. And in the same way I dont think that 49% is oppressed.
But pure democracy is strength in numbers and that's what im trying to impart.
The evils of herd mentality. And that if enough people get behind me, I'm righteous.
@@noahsylvester1754
Democracy is counting scores.
But does 51% make you justified?
And 49% make you oppressed?
No to both.
But the idea that I stand with the majority is a empty cup to drink from.
Which is why neither Canada nor the states use a pure democratic system.
Over 80% of Albertians agree with Danielle, why do less than 14% get to make decision about Children. You are who you are growing up. Wait until you are an adult before making life decisions.
I heard it was 99 %
I would believe higher. I don’t know a single person who agrees with this insanity.
Big Ontariooooooooo
Why do those 80% get to make decisions for those "less than 14%" parents?
@@briandelorme6689 that's because you're in a bubble, I guess.

There are “thousands” of children in Alberta or Canada who want to be the opposite sex? What has gone wrong in this country? Are you not aware that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of young people, in places like Britain, Sweden, Denmark, the US who have de-transitioned and deeply regret what was done to them? They are now wanting to sue the doctors who led them down this path!!!
Well you got one thing right: only about 1% of the people who transition actually regret it. This is a lower regret rate than other common surgeries like hip replacement.
I always wonder if their is such an increase in all of this gender confusion ,perhaps we should be looking at environmental ,chemical causes for it and not pandering to the sickness. Perhaps it has to do with elevated levels in estrogen everywhere, But no they don't want to look at causes ,they want to sterilize. The "Elite" want most of us dead ,so there is more for them.
@@jamesphillips2285 Let them save up paper route money cuz I ain't paying for it unless they pay for me to change from a 56 year old man to an 18 year old one. Then we got a deal.
@@jamesphillips2285 Please Einstein, could you point out the suicide rate of Trans? I will help you, last time I check, more then 35% of them are ending their life. This is a lower regret rate you say? I'm hoping that you will never have to live with a dead son or daughter, a consequence from your own fault of allowing all this craziness to happen.
@@jamesphillips2285 they can regret it or not all they want. I don't think the government has a responsibility to pay for the surgery though. It's more in line with plastic surgery than any hip replacement. If they pay for their own mutilation, hormones, whatever, then by all means do it.
How many people out there besides trans people that feel suicidal? Are there any statistics out there about that?
Well yes, yes there are in fact. Dentists and policemen have very high suicide rates compared to the general public. The statistics can be found on the Stats Can website:
In Canada, the following groups have higher rates or risk for suicide:
men and boys
people serving federal sentences
survivors of suicide loss and survivors of a suicide attempt
some First Nation and Métis communities, especially among youth
people who live in Inuit regions in Canada
Women have higher rates of self-harm. Self-harm can be a risk factor for suicide.
Thoughts of suicide and suicide-related behaviours are more frequent among 2SLGBTQI+ youth in comparison to their non-LGBTQ peers.
So there, but do your own research next time eh?
This is the same person who said this and she claims to care?

And Nutley isn't politicizing it? Hypocrite.
The protesters need mental health care and should have been offered this service when they gather.
When they say they were "disowned", it probably means their families refused to cater to their delusion, so THEY cut off contact, not the families.
Nutley is insane.
Collecting points from voters instead of protecting kids. Shame on her. Disgusting.
Does Notley actually believe the spew that comes out of her mouth or is this just because she feels she has to be anti Smith?
and terrifying
TOTALLY INSANE
Why doesn’t the media report the other side, the sane side of this issue and why the legislation was needed to begin with?
It wasn't needed it's political grandstanding targeting a helpless minority because they don't have enough strength or power to matter.
Modern day conservatives treat LGBT people as the new black people.
History will not be kind.
Because it hurts their arguments and bank account
Because the media are infiltrated with activists on the Left.
Hey Globalhow come you don’t give the other side equal time to discuss this issue
600 million reasons.
We are the parents....NOT YOU
Yep. And some of you kick your kids out because of your bigotry.
Trudeau's Canada is a joke!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
added Gender X to the passport :p
It’s a disgrace and if adults pushed on kids the notion that as they grow, they should get a job and they should respect their elders and get to know God perhaps the country wouldn’t be in such a state. It’s funny how the promotion of being normal isn’t in the forefront of kids minds No, what adults have put in the forefront of kids minds is sex and sexuality and pronouns and to hate God and life in the normal way that he created it. if they worried more about English and writing skills, math and other skills and loving life, perhaps, managing strong emotions, instead of what their pronouns are, they would grow up, happy and healthy!
Go Alberta. We love Premier Smith
Let me tell you something. Based on everything I have heard of and seen from politics, no one can be trusted.
There is a big difference between practicing your RIGHTS versus feeling PRIVILEGED. Leave our kids alone! Hope all provinces in Canada will follow as well.
Sending support to Danielle Smith from Ontario.
You are doing the right thing Danielle Smith. Certainly I would go much further but you have started off in the right direction on this issue. Keep going, the vast majority of Canadians have your back on this issue for sure.
oh so a majority should decide how to treat a minority group that is doing everything right. ive read about scenarios like this in history before
A delusional group.
Thank you Premier, I wish other provinces will follow suit.
Oh no, the groomers and weirdos are upset
this is not hatred this is called being a parent and if my child wants become of age she can do whatever she wants and will support her but leave the kids alone until their of age to make their own decision
Notley is a souled out hack. Danielle Smith is one of the few reasonable politicians in Canada.

As a teacher I applaud these laws. We shouldn’t be required to hide a child’s mental state from their parents. Also, we shouldn’t be assuming parents will become criminals against their children. We don’t for any other reason…when I announce a child has failed a course I don’t assume parents will become violent criminals. We shouldn’t be assuming criminality
These people not only lack common sense but also morale.
Don’t go near our children. PERIOD.
those protestors made me throw up

This report doesn’t actually report the details of the policy … why not?
Stop acting like 590 activist protestors mean ANYTHING. Half of these people are about as well educated on the topic as the average HAMAS fighter is educated on women's rights.
