[Warning: Mature Subject Matter]

Late last week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appointed MacEwan University professor Kristopher Wells to the Canadian Senate.

As a result, Alberta's newest Senator is a gender-ideology activist who disapproves of parental rights, compares Christians to Nazi murderers, and is responsible for directing children as young as five to sexually explicit material. 

Under Alberta's NDP Government, Dr. Wells—then affiliated with a group called the Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services (iSMSS)—worked as the "driving force" behind the Alberta GSA Network, an initiative directed toward minor children from Kindergarten through Grade 12.

The Alberta GSA Network's website was designed to assist children involved in Gay Straight Alliances at school and featured links to various "community supports." One such "community support" was Fruit Loop—a Facebook page full of sexually explicit content. In other words, Dr. Wells's Network allowed children to access graphic sexual material in just two clicks. 

The material found on the Fruit Loops Facebook page includes articles with instructions on how to reach orgasm, tips on oral sex, and an ad featuring naked people who “share an erotic kiss on a tennis court"—all conveniently available for access by children aged 5 to 17. 

Dr. Wells shared Fruit Loop's tennis court post on his own Facebook account, demonstrating that he was well-aware of the graphic content on the Fruit Loop page. 

Beyond the Fruit Loop scandal, Wells used his Twitter profile to post the below meme comparing Christians to Nazis:

He is also quoted on Twitter/X as stating that "so called 'parental rights' are a dog whistle for an explicit anti-2SLGBTQ+ agenda...this is an organized hate movement.”

Finally, Dr. Wells has long-promoted childhood gender transition surgery, a dangerous practice that has been exposed by the Cass Review and has now fallen into medical disrepute. As Edmonton Journal columnist David Staples has written about Wells's appointment, "a decade from now the medical transitioning of young people will be viewed as a catastrophic public health scandal. Any politician who forcefully supported it will be disgraced. Maybe best not to have a Senate full of such people?"

Wells's disturbing practice of promoting sexually explicit material, medically disproven gender transition surgery for minors, and anti-parental rights activism is deeply concerning and certainly disqualifying. 

Sadly, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed this man to represent Alberta in the Canadian Senate. 

This comes in spite of the fact that Alberta has already elected a Senator-in-waiting: Pam Davidson, an Albertan mother of four who ran on a commitment to protect Canada’s fundamental freedoms and promote the inherent dignity of every human being. Pam also has no record of directing young children to sexually explicit content. 

Today, we are calling on newly-appointed Senator Kristopher Wells to resign his position in the Canadian Senate and for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to apologize to the Albertan children who have been harmed by Wells's reckless activism. Will you join us?
