New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs is facing backlash from trans activists, Liberal politicians and some Progressive Conservatives over changes to education policy 713. Under the revised policy, parental consent is required in order for a child under the age of 16 to officially change their name or pronouns at school.
Two PC cabinet ministers resigned following the policy change while several PC riding presidents filed paperwork in a first step to initiate a leadership review of the premier. Higgs has however continued to hold the line in defense of his parental rights policy, and now New Brunswick parents are standing up and showing their support for the premier and his policy.
True North’s Elie Cantin-Nantel spoke with New Brunswick mother & TV personality Faytene Grasseschi about the province’s fight for parental rights. Grassehchi has started the Don’t Delete Parents campaign, which aims to support Premier Higgs, promote parental rights and advocate for school choice.
