Government continues funding ideological LGBTQ and Abortion pet projects

The Canadian government has spent at least $5,321,040,71 ** on all things LGBTQ and or reproductive rights funding for as long as these grants have been recorded back to 2007. You can see the progression of the funding and how the number of grants increases every year. From 2007-2014 there are only three pages of data. From 2015 to the present there is a whopping 80 pages of data. Note also that there are only two projects identified for 2026 so far (early days).

With budget 2025 this preoccupation with LGBTQ funding and or reproductive rights funding will undoubtedly grow significantly in the coming months. In this budget:

• 'Gender' is mentioned 99 times; '2SLGBTQI+' is mentioned 19 times

• 'Gender-Based Analysis Plus' or 'GBA' is mentioned 23 times

(** NOTE on data: I have excluded any funding amendments so as to not duplicate dollars. This means that amendments that would have increased the funding dollars may be ignored, underestimating actual spending. Also there may be a few line items that may include the word pride and might not be of the LGBTQ pride variety.)

Liberal governments are obsessed with funding gender and abortion initiatives. Not just in Canada but around the world. With a staggering projected deficit this year of over $78 billion do we really need to let Liberal ideological pet causes be funded ad nauseum?
