Why did Canada spend $12 million on "pride" during COVID?

Being that it's the so-called "pride season", I thought it might be a good idea to see just how much of our tax dollars during COVID went to this ideology that is forced fed down our collective throats. So I took a deep dive into the murky waters of Global Affairs reporting on our tax dollars redistribution to all things "pride". What I discovered is that for the three years of the pandemic 2020-2022, the government spent over $12 million on "pride" grants, $12,548,238 to be exact.

Isn't it interesting that we continued to fork out money to the "pride" dogma, even when the entire country, and especially our churches, were shut down during COVID? Yet we still gave millions of dollars to "pride". What did they do with that money anyway, since they couldn't have their irreverent and lewd parades and festivals?

Note 1: I also included 2023 spending in the report (though I excluded 2023 grants from the total dollars). Because the 2023 year isn't finished yet, we can expect millions more spent for 2023; it is only included for information purposes. 

Note 2: I only searched on "pride", and not "LGBTQ" and other associated key words which would retrieve another whole bunch of spending from our tax dollars. For this post I only wanted to concentrate on the "pride" parades, "pride" festivals and other associated gospel of "pride" spending.

Note 3: It isn't bad enough that we are exposing our children to all things "pride", we are now also indoctrinating seniors by using "pride" grants from the "New Horizons for Seniors Program":

"The New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP) is a federal grants and contributions program. It provides funding for projects that make a difference in the lives of seniors and in their communities."

You can also see those dollars spent in my report.
