WATCH: Billboard Chris leads Ottawa protest against gender ideology
Billboard Chris, Maxime Bernier, and Randy Hillier led a demonstration against gender ideology in schools and the practice of administering "gender-affirming care" to minors.
On Friday, April 25, activist Chris Elston led a protest in Ottawa against "gender-affirming care" for minors, joined by Maxime Bernier and Randy Hillier.
"We need to raise awareness and start conversations about what's being taught in these schools," said Elston, pointing specifically to Nepean High School, which he called "particularly notorious for pushing gender ideology."
The protest was met with a counter-demonstration by far-left group Community Solidarity Ottawa.

Bernier and Hillier, a former MPP, joined Elston to protect women and children and advocate for common sense.
“We are here to protect the kids and also women,” said Bernier. “We want women to be able to practice sport without having a biological man against them. We need to come back to common sense here in this country.”
Hillier emphasized the right to peaceful protest: “Peaceful assembly is a constitutionally protected right. Good people must stand up and tell others what is right and what is wrong. This whole cockamamie idea that there are more than two biological sexes is absolute bullshit. Even my rooster and chickens at home know the difference between a rooster and a hen.”
I spoke directly with Billboard Chris about why he organized today’s demonstration against gender ideology here in Ottawa, which has drawn violent trans Antifa activists.
