THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean KilpatrickLGBTQ+ activists say Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's pledge to remain the Liberal leader through to the next election, despite dwindling public support, is putting them at risk.
Sarah Worthman, executive director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Queer Research Initiative, says she’s seriously concerned about the potential harm of a Conservative government for LGBTQ+ Canadians. Worthman says the Liberals would have a better chance at beating the Conservatives in an election if they replaced Trudeau, but she didn't say with whom.
The answers include Poilievre's call for Canada to continue offering refuge for persecuted LGBTQ+ people around the world, and that "female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males."
