Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled the strategy, dubbed “Canada’s first Federal 2SLGBTQI+ Action Plan,” at a news conference on Sunday ahead of the pride parade in Ottawa — the first in-person march after a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19.

Trudeau said 75 per cent of the funding will go toward community organizations focused on diversity and inclusion because that’s “where the real work of support comes from.”The strategy proposes to adopt and encourage the use of the 2SLGBTQI+ acronym, “which is more inclusive and places the experiences of Indigenous 2SLGBTQI+ communities at the foreground as the first 2SLGBTQI+ peoples in North America.

“This is for the people … who are discarded by their family and friends after they came out … to everybody trying to live their truth in rural communities where they feel isolated … this is for the Black queer people who are fighting every day to justify their place in this country, and the trans-women who are afraid sometimes to walk home alone in the dark … this is for you,” Ien said.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.

But what about the museum!!!!

mean while in canada children are starving and have no homes, well done

And not one penny for health care or homelessness. Only a Liberal could do that to Canada.

If the day ever comes that we decide to change the acronym or bring our acronym in line with acronyms used in other countries we'll need a new strategy.

Do lesbians have to be trans or Bi to belong?

For what? You bang dudes, who cares?

More Vote buying for PM HYPOCRITE

Twisted priorities.

$100 million here $100 million there... Spend spend spend 😂

Sounds to me like a total waste of money comparable to funding that radical racist Laif Marouf. You'll get more and better votes for funding initiatives to train and/or import qualified doctors and health care people.

Love the community but we need healthcare and mental health support first!!

FFS

The liberals are absurdly irresponsible with money. Can’t be out of office fast enough

🤦‍♂️

STOP WASTING CANADIANS MONEY ON GARBAGE
