The Liberal government continues to use your tax money to buy votes.
Justin Trudeau‘s Liberal government will be giving Pride organizers $1.5 million this year and an estimated $12 million over 5 years to provide “security.”
The generous payouts, announced in a recent news release, states that the money will be sent to a third party group to cover insurance costs and prevent against “hate.”
Every day, Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and additional sexually and gender diverse (2SLGBTQI+) communities face discrimination, persecution, and violence.
Supporting 2SLGBTQI+ communities helps build a safer, equitable and inclusive Canada.
Today, the Honourable Marci Ien, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, announced up to $1.5 million for Fierté Canada Pride to administer funding to support security needs for Pride festivals this season.
This funding will help offset rising security and insurance costs for events across the country, amid rising levels of 2SLGBTQI+ hate.
These costs could include additional security resources and training to increase the capacity of volunteers and community members.

The move has been criticized as ploy to buy votes from gay people and their supporters.
