Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced a suite of new policy proposals aimed at gender identity and transgender youth, triggering political shockwaves across Canada. Some of the proposed changes impact gender-affirming medical treatments for minors and pronoun changes at school. ‘The West Block’ guest host David Akin speaks with Premier Smith about what prompted her to announce these LGBTQ2S+ policy proposals, her government’s plan for sex education in schools, the potential use of the notwithstanding clause, and more. Plus, Akin interviews Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault, the only Alberta MP in PM Trudeau’s cabinet, for the federal reaction.
