Activist “Billboard” Chris Elston, known as Billboard Chris, told Rebel News host Lise Merle at the Conservative Party of Canada’s 2026 convention in Calgary that the fight against radical gender ideology for children is turning conservatives’ favour.
“We’re winning all over the world,” Elston said. “Canada’s pretty much the last to make much progress on this,” but he pointed to advances in Alberta and Saskatchewan as evidence of momentum.
He highlighted Alberta’s legislation banning certain interventions for children under 16, introduced by Premier Danielle Smith, and Saskatchewan’s 2023 Parents’ Bill of Rights, which requires parental notification for name or gender changes in schools.
That bill, passed under Premier Scott Moe, withstood opposition after the notwithstanding clause was invoked.
