Riley Gaines, an advocate for women’s sports ever since she was forced to compete against trans swimmer Lia Thomas, called out Trudeau for his policies after Anne Andres dominated the other lifters at the Canadian Powerlifting Union’s 2023 Western Canadian Championship in Brandon, Man., on Sunday.Andres, 40, competed in the Female Masters Unequipped category and set a Canadian women’s record and an unofficial women’s world record by lifting 210 kg more than second-place finisher SuJan Gill.
Andres’ total weight lifted in squat, bench and deadlift was 597.5 kilograms while Gills finished at 387.5 kilograms. Gaines took to social media to attack Trudeau’s policies which allow the CPU to have a gender self-identification trans-inclusion policy, which allows males to participate in women’s competitions based on gender alone.There was an error, please provide a valid email address.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
