Canadian Veteran Fights for Freedom, While the State Secretly Transitions His Daughter (Exclusive Interview)

Jeff Evely, a veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force and one of the veterans who stood guard at the National War Memorial during the 2022 Freedom Convoy, reflects in an exclusive interview with RAIR Foundation USA on his pivotal role in defending the monument against false accusations of vandalism by Ottawa officials. Evely, along with other veterans, formed a protective line around the memorial after Ottawa’s mayor fenced it off and accused protesters of disrespect. Despite media claims and political pressure, Evely and his fellow veterans maintained a peaceful watch over the monument, a gesture of respect that was ultimately met with hostility from the authorities.

During the police crackdown on the convoy protests, Evely was arrested under dubious circumstances, facing charges of mischief and obstruction. He recounts how police, unfamiliar with the peaceful nature of the protest and fueled by media-driven narratives, resorted to violent tactics to disperse the demonstrators. Evely, along with other veterans, stood their ground but was eventually beaten, arrested, and later banned from Ottawa. This ban included a restriction from visiting the National War Memorial—a particularly painful consequence for a war veteran.

Evely remains undeterred, continuing his fight against what he describes as authoritarian overreach. He is represented by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), and his trial, focused on mischief charges, has become a significant legal battle over the constitutional right to freedom of expression and the unlawful use of emergency powers. He draws parallels between his situation and the broader suppression of dissent, noting that the charges are part of a political strategy to silence those who challenge the government’s narrative.

Beyond the legal battle, Evely shares a deeply personal story about his daughter’s involvement in what he sees as a dangerous trend of state-sponsored gender ideology. His daughter, without his consent, was referred to a gender clinic by school officials and medical staff at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), where she began transitioning. Evely describes how the school and medical authorities bypassed his parental rights, pushing his daughter toward a biomedical transition based on a self-diagnosed gender identity. He details his ongoing battle against this process, expressing his frustration with laws like Bill C-4, which make it illegal for parents to question or intervene in their child’s gender transition.

In the latter part of the interview, starting at 25:35, Evely delves into the broader societal implications of these policies, discussing how state schools and government institutions are promoting gender transitions in line with left-wing ideologies. He argues that critical gender theory, part of the broader SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) agenda, is being weaponized to undermine parental authority and fast-track children into life-altering medical decisions. Evely believes that this ideological agenda is part of a larger authoritarian takeover, one that silences dissent and redefines basic freedoms.

Throughout the interview, Evely’s story is one of personal resilience in the face of government overreach, whether it’s his fight for veterans’ rights or his struggle to protect his daughter from what he views as a destructive gender ideology. He warns that Canada is on a dangerous path, where constitutional rights are being trampled, and the state is encroaching on the most personal aspects of citizens’ lives.

The first half of this interview deals primarily with Evely’s involvement in the Freedom Convoy, his arrest, and the ongoing trial regarding his role in protecting the National War Memorial. At 25:35, the discussion shifts to the state’s role in promoting gender transition in minors, with Evely sharing the harrowing details of how this ideology has affected his own family.

Below is the full video of the interview, followed by a second segment focusing exclusively on the state’s involvement in Evely’s daughter’s transition and his fight against the legal and ideological forces pushing these changes.
