phi·lan·thro·py /fəˈlanTHrəpē/ noun the desire to promote the welfare of others, expressed especially by the generous donation of money to good causes.
Action Canada for Health and Reproductive Rights doesn't only get funding from the Canadian government (AKA you and me), they get money from lots of other places.
After researching this I was kind of dumbfounded about just how much money comes from pro-abortion/sexual reproductive rights/LGBTQ funding groups into organizations like Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights. This particular research is only focused on one such Canadian charity--Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights--and what they get. But I saw many organizations that donate millions and millions to the promotion and advocacy of the killing of pre-born children and so-called LGBTQ rights, etc. Is this really what philanthropy is all about? No wonder there are so many organizations involved in this work--there are millions and millions to be made. Action Canada is just one of the groups that benefits from this largesse of blood money.
Imagine the good that could be done if pro-life groups got similar funding?

"A new alliance of religious extremists, far-right populists, and oligarchic funders is reshaping European politics. The Next Wave describes this covert, strategic effort to launder religious extremism into mainstream governance through media, NGOs, political parties, and public institutions.
Backed by private wealth and legitimised through state funding, this movement is engineering a long-term authoritarian transformation under the guise of tradition and care. This project exposes the financial, political, and ideological architecture of The Next Wave, equipping civil society to recognise, resist, and counter its growing influence. Philanthropic support is essential to disrupt this emerging infrastructure and defend pluralistic democracy."
