Meet the candidate: Laura-Lynn Thompson, People’s Party of Canada
The Red Deer-Lacombe candidate for the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) says it was a fight against gender fluid ideology being taught to children that brought her into politics two years ago.
Author and professional international speaker Laura-Lynn Thompson says seeing children from Kindergarten to Grade 5 learning about it made her upset and put her on the path to politics.
“When I discovered that there were dozens and dozens and dozens of transgender books with ideologies that I don’t personally ascribe to, nor do millions of people in this nation want their children taught that, I began to fight that,” she explains. “I then became targeted by sex activists, LGBTQ activists and they called my work. I was a national television show host and they called my work incessantly.”
The end result, says Thompson, was eventually being let go from her job.
