At the recent Conservative Party convention in Calgary, delegates were given a clear chance to correct course on Bill C-4 (legislation the entire Conservative caucus voted for in January 2022). They refused.

Bill C-4 shields “gender-affirming care” while criminalizing parents and counsellors who question or challenge a child’s belief that they were “born in the wrong body.” Parents can be investigated, fined, or imprisoned for seeking counselling that affirms reality, while the state is empowered to intervene if they do not comply. This law effectively places government ideology above parental authority.

This vote came despite mounting evidence of real-world harm. In the United States, a recent court ruling awarded $2 million to a young woman who detransitioned after being socially indoctrinated and psychologically pressured into irreversible medical decisions as a minor—decisions the court recognized as having mutilated her body. The court agreed she was manipulated, inadequately informed, and harmed. This case is not isolated: 28 similar lawsuits are now underway in the US, with legal experts predicting thousands more as the consequences of this ideology become undeniable.

It is finally being called out and named for what it is, a crime against humanity. Every teacher, school board trustee, counsellor and activist facilitating this better take note, the risk of personal liability is increasing and justice is coming for you. 

Much of this harm is driven by a social contagion, fuelled by schools teaching gender ideology that exploits children’s innocence and causes confusion. Instead of protecting families, Bill C-4 legislates against those trying to help—while entrenching a system that fast-tracks vulnerable children toward medical pathways they cannot fully understand.

Despite all this, Conservative delegates voted against overturning Bill C-4. Are they therefore complicit with these crimes against our children?

On abortion, the message was just as clear. The Conservative Party again refused to amend its platform or introduce any legislation to protect preborn life. Canada remains the only developed nation with no abortion law whatsoever, permitting abortion through all stages of pregnancy—without restriction.

For many long-time Conservative members, this convention confirmed what they’ve been trying to ignore: the party is drifting left, abandoning its base, and aligning with Liberal positions on the most fundamental moral and social issues.

This is why the populist vote is growing—and why more Canadians are concluding that real change may require a different political choice.
