Byelection Candidate: Government Policy and Gender Identity

byelection candidate: In an interview, Tyler Thompson said her foray into politics began in 2017 when she learned about a B.C. government policy to teach sexual orientation and gender identity in elementary schools, according to CTV. She campaigned hard against the policy, running for the local school board in Burnaby last fall with that as her main issue. Bernier is defending the appointment of former Christian talk-show host Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson to be the Burnaby South byelection candidate for the party he founded after parting ways with the Conservative party in August. She finished 11th out of 13 candidates but said she got enough votes to convince her she was speaking for a silent majority who stay quiet so they aren't called bigots but feel the way she does about not exposing children to an ideology at school. The other side was extremely surprised. I got 15,622 votes, she said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
