Liberals, clinging to gender ideology, try to bully Danielle Smith

The Alberta government and the Carney Liberals both agree that there should be fair play when it comes to women in sports — but there is a bitter divide on what that means.

The government of Danielle Smith wants to emphasize fairness for girls, whereas the federal government is intent on focusing on fairness for transgender athletes.

There is a large ideological divide between these two positions that is not easily bridged.

In an effort to protect girls, the Alberta government has introduced a new law, the Fairness and Safety in Sport Act, that bans transgender athletes from competing in female-only divisions. The law applies from the age of 12 upwards.

In a tweet , Smith said the act would “emphasize fairness, safety and inclusivity as core principles of sport in Alberta.”
