Canada is pledging $100 million to fund what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is touting as the country’s first federal five-year plan to support LGBTQ communities.

OTTAWA - The federal government unveiled what it described as a historic first on Sunday as it announced a five-year, $100 million plan to support LGBTQ, two-spirit and intersex communities across the country.

“This … will guide our ongoing work to fight discrimination, break down barriers, to advance rights, and to build a future where everyone in Canada is truly free to be who they are and love whom they love,” Trudeau said on Sunday. Marci Ien, minister of women and gender equality, welcomed the action plan alongside Trudeau, saying the funds are for “all of those people who are fighting to be heard … and accepted.”

Ottawa received more than 25,000 responses in 2020-2021 to a national online survey on how to better serve diverse communities, Ien said.

Mr Trudeau is so fixated on making his mark in the world leaving his legacy he cannot see what he is actually doing to the country he claims to love Every one of his actions is a hot topic he wants to cure where others failed so he just jams it through not a care of what we want

Insulting the term 2 spirited was created by 2 European American men in English then translated. However we already had our own words in different languages for this. No it was not accepted in most native societies it's also a sacred ceromial role given by a chief or elder

There are so many homeless women suffering. They're victims of a transphobic society.

Wondering where those monies are being directed and for what specific initiative? While you were loosening the purse strings, could you please address housing and Healthcare.

Priorities

Wow that’s going to be thousands of new multicoloured crosswalks all across Canada

Meanwhile there are still native communities without clean drinking water... what a was of money...

Why do gays need government money more than non gays?

Five year genderideology propaganda plan that cost 100 million while Canadians struggle with housing, health care and uncontrolled inflation brought on by JustinTrudeau and his hapless NATO buddies attempt to prop up a puppet regime by sacrificing our savings. Canada

Guess not our Vets though......

How many dollars are going to the interest of female Canadians? If the last two years are any indication that 100m will be sucked up by one tiny male minority and the corporations looking to profit off a new inhumane industry.

Hello HOUSING RENTS WTF

May I get discount for my taxes? I don’t support any special groups!

SHOUL RESEARCH WHAT IS CAUSING SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING HORMONAL ISSUES.

Invest in poor, homeless and sick they really need it, this is useless

More of our tax dollars set on fire, funding nonsense

Okay, great... But many First Nations communities are still waiting for clean drinking water. And many Veterans are living in poverty. They are always sent to the 'back of the line' in Canada 🍁

He promised reduced inequality, remember? All these programs do that but to such miniscule extent that they make no practical diff. Here is what wd make that diff; Bring in the law they hv in Australia since 1907: If biz can not pay LIVING wages to employees, no license to open

He did not have to have that hair cut to announce this.

Deal with the drug crises, thousands dead, no one’s dying in the Gay community

Sounds like a fiscally responsible thing to do.

Amazing, let's support our most vulnerable!

And veterans?....

Good.

Good luck with the diseases 🤭🤮

🤔🤔🤔

$100 million to make it easier for pedophiles to groom kids, thanks Truderp!

Depopulation.

He spent $1 billion on completely useless testing at airports.

More playing favorites and dividing Canadians. No wonder he’s anticipating blowback.

Where are the priorities JustinTrudeau CanadianPM ? Women and children and regular families are starving and homeless... Yet we pay 100B for LGBTQ lifestyles? Bruh, you're losing it.

Good initiative…but veterans were also asking for more than they could give at the time.

Except drug using LGBTQ folks Trudeau's Liberals prefer to see DIE from poisoned drug supply rather than make supply safe as Trudeau's own expert panel recommended.Trudeau prefers 1,000s die than risk %pts in opinion polls by appearing too soft on hard drugs.ILLIBERAL DEATH PARTY

What happened to supporting straight families? I guess that’s not newsworthy enough for photo ops or votes.

What for?

This guy is going to spend us into the poorhouse, if he hasn't already.

Be clear....it's definitely not Canada supporting this...it is this administration....

Pride flags in every classroom!

Funding for community groups a central plank of Canada's first ever LGBTQ2S+ 'action plan'The federal government says it will prioritize direct funding for community groups under Canada's first ever federal LGBTQ2S+ 'action plan,' stating that they are the best-placed organizations to identify and deliver the support needed to address 'persisting inequities' and improve the wellbeing of LGBTQ2S+ individuals in this country. I don’t understand how this is going to help my well-being as a gay indigenous man in this country? If anything won’t it make taxpayers hate me even more because of the “special treatment”? I hope you spend as much time reporting on Germans dying from energy poverty this winter. Buying votes. Trudeau analytic dept at work.
