Prime Minister Justin Trudeau placed blame on what he called the “far-right” for protests against the teaching of gender ideology in schools, arguing that many Muslim parents are falling prey to misinformation and disinformation being spread by right-wingers in the United States.

“There is an awful lot of misinformation and disinformation on social media, particularly fuelled by the American right wing. If you look at the various curriculums, you will see that there is not what is being said out there about aggressive teaching or conversion of kids to being LGBT,” the prime minister said in a conversation with a Muslim parent in Calgary on July 14 in footage obtained by Bezirgan Media.
