Poilievre had been posing with \u0027hundreds of people\u0027 when he was photographed with the man \u0027without reading what was written on his shirt,\u0027 a spokesman says

Sebastian Skamski said Poilievre had been posing with “hundreds of people” at the Calgary Stampede on Saturday when he was photographed with an individual “without reading what was written on his shirt.”The bright green T-shirt featured the symbols for men and women that are often posted to the doors of public restrooms.

Skamski said that “Poilievre does not agree with the message displayed on the T-shirt,” adding that Conservatives are working to build a country where everyone is free to be themselves, “regardless of their sexual orientation.” Poilievre and other political leaders, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, kept up the tradition of joining pancake breakfasts and other public events at Stampede over the weekend.

Sam Blackett, a press secretary for Smith, said in a statement that the premier also did not read the person’s shirt, “and obviously doesn’t agree with its message.”Lizette Tejada, the Alberta NDP’s critic for LGBTQ issues, said in a statement that the premier has a history of “amplifying messages of hate and intolerance” and accused her of refusing to take responsibility for her past “tacit approval” of such messages.
