‘Embarrassed’: Alberta UCP candidate sorry for comparing transgender kids to feces
EDMONTON — A United Conservative Party candidate who compared transgender children in schools to having feces in food says she is sorry, plans to learn from it and is staying on to run in the May 29 Alberta election.
“I apologize for the way I discussed these issues in September of 2022,” Jennifer Johnson said in a statement Wednesday.
“I have nothing but love and compassion for everyone equally and am embarrassed that I have caused hurt in this way.”
Johnson added that she is concerned about potentially life-altering medical procedures for children.
