Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre stepped into the debate over trans rights on Wednesday, saying "biological males" should be banned from women's sports, change rooms and bathrooms.

"Female spaces should be exclusively for females, not for biological males," Poilievre said in Kitchener, Ont.

The Conservative leader made the comments after being asked if, as prime minister, he would introduce legislation to prevent "transgender women" or "biological men" from participating in female sports or entering female prisons and shelters.

"A lot of the spaces … are provincially and municipally controlled, so it is unclear ... what reach federal legislation would have to change them," Poilievre said.

"But obviously female sports, female change rooms, female bathrooms should be for females, not for biological males," he added.

Make a policy on any of the issues Trudeau is supposedly bungling <-> Murican' style culture war

Sweaty superhero meme.

Yeah, I'm not sure why he's doing this. I guess his general polls are looking really good so he's focusing on his own caucus? Or maybe he just wants to distract from his own (deliberate, strategic) lack of vision, since I've increasingly seen it get media attention.
