WATCH: Trudeau minister MELTS DOWN over Poilievre recognizing only two genders
Poilievre's response to a gender-based question evoked a public meltdown from a Trudeau minister, who called the Opposition leader a "jackass" over his so-called "weaponization of the gender debate."
Official Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre evoked a public meltdown from a Trudeau ally, minister, and groomsman in a media response recognizing only two genders.
“Poilievre is being a jackass with his whole weaponization of the gender debate,” said Immigration Minister Marc Miller. “He said he only recognizes two genders.”
The longtime Conservative MP schooled a CTV News host Wednesday, who attempted to stir controversy amid falling Liberal stock.
Marc Miller, a groomsman from Trudeau's wedding party who serves as immigration minister, calls Pierre Poilievre a "jackass" for weaponizing "the gender debate" after he said he was only aware of two genders.

“If you have any others that you want me to consider, you’re welcome to tell me right now,” he posed to the interviewer, who said: “Personally, I am a man. I am, as people say, a ‘cis-man’.”
Miller, who was beside himself, called Poilievre a “jackass” again over the remarks, “It’s just stupid and it’s not mature,” he claimed.

Poilievre maintained that a future Conservative government would not be in the business of intruding on people’s private lives. “Leave people alone to make their own personal decisions.”
He did not say whether he agreed with a subsequent Trump order to remove the “gender neutral” designation from passports.
Poilievre called this a “strange priority” for the host to mention while the country braces for a tariff war with the United States, among a rampant crime wave and ongoing affordability crisis.
“If Liberals want to talk about different labels for gender that they want to put on passports in the United States, they can do that,” he said.
“My priority is to … bring back Canada’s promise that anyone who works hard gets a powerful paycheck and pension that buys affordable food, gas, and homes in safe neighbourhoods.”

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-01-24 20:29:51 -0500Mark Miller is the childish one here. Science and the Bible agree that there are only two genders. It’s pure lunacy to think there are more than two. The world is waking up to this nonsense and the tiny minority are being shown to be the fringe with unacceptable views.
