Women, the Liberal Party of Canada Doesn't Care About You

It is a favorite tactic of the Liberal Party of Canada to secure the female vote by painting Conservatives as misogynistic. Because this is a lie, the Liberals are having to stoop ever lower to try to make their case. This election cycle, they lost their collective minds when Pierre Poilievre commented that many Canadian couples can’t afford to buy a home before their biological clocks run out. This very true statement that describes the unfortunate situation of too many Canadians prompted a torrent of outrage and snarky comments declaring that Poilievre shouldn’t talk about women’s biology. It seems that liberals believe in women and biology only when they can use these things to express faux outrage at conservatives. Then they go right back to believing that men can be women again.

Speaking of men being women: it is in large part thanks to our ruling Liberal Party that any man in Canada can declare himself to be one and be treated as such under the law. And if that isn’t actually offensive to women, then I am not sure what is.

It all started in 2017, when the Liberals under then Prime Minister Justin Trudeau passed Bill C-16: An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code. What this bill did was add the words “gender identity or expression” into the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code. Note that the bill did not define any of these terms, and so self-ID became the law of the land. Lawmakers simply and promptly chose to interpret the bill in a way that supersedes protections and provisions for sex.

If someone is going to introduce a change in law that would effectively eliminate women as a sex class (which is exactly what allowing men to identify as women did), then they should think carefully about what they are doing. It was obvious that such a change would obliterate sensible and necessary protections for women in many areas of life. Either the Liberals didn’t give it much thought, which shows you how little they care about the needs of women, or they knew what might happen but didn’t care. I lean toward the first explanation, but it’s an abject failure either way.

It is also important to note that this bill came after numerous similar bills at the provincial level across the country, starting with Ontario. As I have written before, the Ontario Human Rights Commission set the stage for the takeover of gender ideology in Canada back in 2014, and it is these provincial policies and bills that generally have the greatest impact on the lives of everyday Canadians who are forced to accommodate men in women’s spaces and services.

But Bill C-16 does affect some of the most vulnerable women in our society—those who are incarcerated. While the bill was making its way through parliament, Trudeau was hosting a town hall in Kingston, Ontario. I will quote from a previous piece to describe what happened:

During the town hall, Trudeau took a question from a trans-identified man who asked, “will you do your best to ensure that trans women are put in a prison more appropriate to their gender identity?”

With absolutely zero hesitation, Trudeau responded, “The answer is yes.”

And he followed through on that promise at breakneck speed.

The very next day, a CBC News headline declared “Correctional Service flip-flops on transgender inmate placement policy.”

This startling change of heart came just days after Correctional Service Canada (CSC) released a policy that reaffirmed default inmate placement according to sex and stated that transfers would only be allowed after “sex reassignment surgery.”

Suddenly, CSC was singing a different tune, with spokesperson Jean-Paul Surette telling CBC, “We are currently assessing — on a case-by-case basis — individual inmates' placement and accommodation requests to ensure the most appropriate measures are taken to respect the dignity, rights and security of all inmates under our custody.”

[…]

In July of 2017, another CSC spokesperson Lori Halfper revealed that the policy was being updated to ensure that offenders would be treated according to their “self-identified gender or gender expression, regardless of their physical anatomy or the gender noted on their identification documents” [emphasis mine].

Ever since then, incarcerated women and female prison guards have had to deal with male inmates, many of them violent and sexual offenders, transferring to women’s prisons. And I’m not being hyperbolic when I say “many,” nor about the nature of their crimes.

As we have seen over and over and over again across the West, trans-identified men seem to be even more dangerous than the general male prison population virtually everywhere. In fact, roughly half are usually serving time for sex offenses, which is about three to four times higher than men who do not identify as trans.

And don’t think for a moment that the Canadian government is simply ignorant of this horrific reality. That would be bad enough, but the actual situation is even worse. Correctional Services Canada itself has released two reports which, when taken together, reveal that 46% of federally incarcerated men who identify as trans had committed sex offenses and 92% were incarcerated for violent crimes.

And no, these men are not just integrating peacefully into their new surroundings now that their “gender identity” has been validated. Reduxx has documented many of these transfers as well as what the women inside are dealing with, from sexual harassment to fearing for their young children due to convicted pedophiles hanging around the Mother-Child program.

Our government is fully aware of the types of men they are allowing into female prisons; it just doesn’t care. This became obvious near the end of 2024 when the issue was brought up in the House of Commons by Conservative MP Frank Caputo. Caputo shared the horrific case of Adam Laboucan, a BC man who now goes by Tara Desousa and who sexually assaulted a three-month-old baby boy in 1997. Despite this, Laboucan is now housed in a female prison with a Mother-Baby program because he “identifies” as a woman.

The response from Liberal MPs was shocking—or, it would be shocking if you didn’t already expect this government to have a deep contempt for vulnerable women.

That contempt was on full display by Minister of Public Safety Dominic LeBlanc, who shrugged the issue off by saying, “No child has ever been harmed in any way during this program’s implementation,” as if that makes it okay that mothers have to be on edge and that convicted pedophiles get to live right alongside their preferred victims.

Minister of Labour and Seniors Steven MacKinnon also called Caputo a “slimeball,” accused him of raising an “absurd question,” and called opposition members “snowflakes.”

As I commented in my initial post on this disgusting display:

It is a sad example of the banality of evil that one can hear about such a horrific situation and not feel the impulse to instantly correct it but to shrug it off and insult those who point it out instead.

The prison issue alone should be enough to convince anyone that the Liberal Party of Canada does not care about women. At the very least, it considers the comfort, safety, privacy, and dignity of women as less important than the desires of men who wish they were women.

But, if one should need another example, consider our government’s cruel stance on fairness in women’s sports, which is essentially that they are against it. This attitude can be summed up in Canada’s response to a report on violence against women and girls in sports by the UN Special Rapporteur Reem Alsalem.

As part of the report, Alsalem reviews the various types of injustice perpetrated against women and girls in sports caused by the inclusion of males in the female category, including physical injuries and psychological distress.

How did Canada respond? By taking issue with the language in the report, namely that male athletes were referred to as… male athletes, and declaring that:

The Government of Canada’s (GOC’s) position on trans individuals is that trans women are women and trans men are men. There is legislation in place that provides Canadians with explicit protection from discrimination, hate speech, and hate crimes on the basis of gender identity or expression in the Canadian Human Rights Act. The GOC has also committed to preventing and addressing discrimination and stigma based on sexual orientation, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression.

Discussions on violence against women and girls in sports should be inclusive of trans women and girl athletes, who experience violence and discrimination, including on the basis of their gender identity and expression.

Transgender athletes should have equal opportunity to participate and excel in sport at every level. The Government of Canada recognizes the challenges and potential impacts associated with the inclusion of trans people in sport. It acknowledges the barriers faced by transgender athletes, as well as the concerns about the potential impacts of fully including transgender women in female high-performance sport categories on the rights and opportunities for cisgender female athletes.

That’s right. Despite the fact that women are being physically injured, psychologically tormented, and having their sporting opportunities stolen from them, what is important to the Government of Canada is that men who wish they were women get to keep participating in women’s sports. The disdain could not be more obvious.

As I have written before, denying physical sex differences is cruel. In the realm of sports, what this essentially says to women is that they are not as hardworking and dedicated as male athletes for not being able to perform at the male level.

But it gets even worse. If male and female sex differences are not real (which is what you are saying when you advocate for male inclusion in women’s sports), then you are saying that women are somehow allowing themselves to be disproportionate victims of violent and sexual assaults at the hands of men.

Truly, if you believe that there is no difference between the sexes, then you are denying female vulnerability and blaming the victim in those situations. That is the logical endpoint of the stance that our government has taken.

Sure, the party has a new leader, but he does not differ from the Liberal Party line on this issue. While he previously hadn’t said much about it, he made his true colors known at a post-debate presser last night when answering questions by True North reporter Alex Zoltan:

First, Zoltan asked, “How many genders are there?”

To this, Carney answered, “In terms of sex, there are two.”

That would be a bit of a relief, and the bar is so low that I am glad he clarified he was answering in terms of sex. But Carney seems to be leaving the door open here for the idea that gender is a separate category, one with perhaps more than two options.

For his follow-up question, Zoltan asked, “Do you believe that women—biological women—have the right to their own spaces, their own sports, their own change rooms, their own prisons, their own homeless shelters?”

This question flustered Carney, causing him to provide what amounted to pretty much a non-answer that consisted of a good deal of stuttering:

I think we… this is Canada and, that, as a general objective—yes, but we work in, where we value all Canadians for who they are and will continue to do so.

First, it appears that Carney says yes, as a general objective. Wait, what does that even mean? Well, not much, because there appears to be a “but,” and it’s a big but. You see, he says, in Canada, we value all Canadians for who they are, which is obviously an attempted nod to the Canadians who are not women but say they are women.

So, unless he clarifies otherwise, my best translation for what he is trying to say is that women generally have the right to their own spaces unless a man comes along and says he is a woman as well. In that case, we have to “value” him for who he is (a woman, ostensibly). This is what the Canadian government currently does and will continue to do.

Anyone who thinks my interpretation of Carney’s non-answer is uncharitable truly does not understand what is happening here. Carney is well aware of gender ideology and its demands. His attempt to delineate sex and gender tells me that he knows full well this is tricky territory, and it gives him an out to tell gender activists that anyone can identify however they like on the “gender” spectrum. His own daughter is a staunch advocate for the cause who argues that children should have unfettered access to “gender affirming care.” He knows this is a sensitive topic, and he is trying to play the politician by carefully choosing his words, but this is not a man who has any interest in changing the government’s course on this issue.

Only a short time ago, I was naive enough to think that we were changing course on gender ideology quickly enough—quickly enough to stop the harms to women and children, and quickly enough to prevent a blowback against regular gay and trans-identified people who truly just want to live their lives and aren’t interested in acting like authoritarian zealots. If the Liberals are voted into power yet again, that will no longer be the case.

To be fair, things are changing elsewhere. Gender ideology is quickly falling in America, and just yesterday, the UK Supreme Court ruled that a woman is legally defined as a biological female.

But it seems like Canada will be a holdout, clinging on to this woman-hating, child-sacrificing mental sickness until the bitter end. And, unfortunately, if the Liberal Party wins again and if they continue to go down this path, it will be in large part thanks to women.

I understand that people have many reasons to vote the way they do. I understand that this isn’t the only issue people care about. It certainly isn’t the only issue I care about. My most earnest wish is simply for women not to cast their vote solely on the basis of the lie that Conservatives hate them and Liberals care about them. I have made this same plea to gay people.

How Progressives Bait Gay People with Fear

The Liberal Party does not want to grant imprisoned women even the most basic dignity, afforded by the Geneva Convention itself, to not be housed with men. Instead, it has granted transfer to some of the country’s most heinous offenders. The Liberals do not think your daughters deserve to take part in fair and safe sporting competitions. In fact, if you raise any concerns, you might be accused of violating the literal human rights of the men who want to steal their opportunities and don’t care if they injure them along the way.

Ladies, the Liberal Party of Canada does not care about you.
