The Trudeau government plans to expand ‘equity groups’ to include people who identify as ‘2SLGBTQ+’ and to spend tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to promote its ‘Federal 2SLGBTQI+ Action Plan’ and ‘embed’ LGBT issues in the Canadian government.
The Trudeau government’s 2024 budget features plans to spend tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to promote LGBT ideology at home and abroad and to expand “equity groups” in the workforce to include people who identify as “2SLGBTQI+.”
According to Canada’s 2024 Budget, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau intends to spend $150 million over 10 years and to expand the Employment Equity Act to further advance LGBT ideology.
“Following the recommendations of the Task Force, Budget 2024 announces the government’s intention to propose legislative amendments to modernize the Employment Equity Act, including by expanding designated equity groups,” the budget states.
Under Canada’s Employment Equity Act, women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and members of visible minorities are included as those deserving of “special measures” by employers. However, the Trudeau government is now seeking to broaden that to add those who identify as “Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, [and] intersex,” as well as “additional [so-called] sexually and gender diverse people.”
The taxpayer dollars will be used “to support Canada’s first Federal 2SLGBTQI+ Action Plan, a whole of-government approach to prioritize and sustain 2SLGBTQI+ community action, to advance and strengthen 2SLGBTQI+ rights [sic] at home and abroad, and to embed 2SLGBTQI+ issues in the work of the Government of Canada.”
The commitment to promote the LGBT agenda in the government and workplaces comes after a December report recommending legislative changes to hiring practices from merit-based ones to practices favoring minority groups.
One recommendation suggested employers should “correct” underrepresentation of minority groups among their staff.
However, Trudeau’s spending of public funds to push homosexual and transgender ideology should not come as a surprise to Canadians.
Last June, during the designated month of LGBT “pride,” the Trudeau government pledged $1.5 million in what it claims is “emergency funding” for “pride” month to fund increased security to organizations running parades, which often feature nudity and extremely graphic homosexual activity.
Later the same month, records revealed that the Liberal government gave $12 million for “pride” events during COVID lockdown years.

Unified message for Ottawa: Premier Danielle Smith and Premier Scott Moe call for change to federal policies
United in call for change: Joint statement |
“Wednesday, Alberta’s and Saskatchewan’s governments came together in Lloydminster to make a unified call for national change.
“Together, we call for an end to all federal interference in the development of provincial resources by:
- repealing or overhauling the Impact Assessment Act to respect provincial jurisdiction and eliminate barriers to nation-building resource development and transportation projects;
- eliminating the proposed oil and gas emissions cap;
- scrapping the Clean Electricity Regulations;
- lifting the oil tanker ban off the northern west coast;
- abandoning the net-zero vehicle mandate; and
- repealing any federal law or regulation that purports to regulate industrial carbon emissions, plastics or the commercial free speech of energy companies.
“The federal government must remove the barriers it created and fix the federal project approval processes so that private sector proponents have the confidence to invest.
“Starting with additional oil and gas pipeline access to tidewater on the west coast, our provinces must also see guaranteed corridor and port-to-port access to tidewater off the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic coasts. This is critical for the international export of oil, gas, critical minerals, agricultural and forestry products, and other resources. Accessing world prices for our resources will benefit all Canadians, including our First Nations partners.
“Canada is facing a trade war on two fronts. The People’s Republic of China’s ‘anti-discrimination’ tariffs imposed on Canadian agri-food products have significant impacts on the West. We continue to call on the federal government to prioritize work towards the removal of Chinese tariffs. Recently announced tariff increases, on top of pre-existing tariffs, by the United States on Canadian steel and aluminum products are deeply concerning. We urge the Prime Minister to continue his work with the U.S. administration to seek the removal of all tariffs currently being imposed by the U.S. on Canada.
“Alberta and Saskatchewan agree that the federal government must change its policies if it is to reach its stated goal of becoming a global energy superpower and having the strongest economy in the G7. We need to have a federal government that works with, rather than against, the economic interests of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Making these changes will demonstrate the new Prime Minister’s commitment to doing so. Together, we will continue to fight to deliver on the immense potential of our provinces for the benefit of the people of Saskatchewan and Alberta.”
Quick Hit:
President Trump has upped the cost for Canada to join the U.S. “Golden Dome” missile defense program to $71 billion—$10 billion more than his previous ask.
Key Details:
- Trump confirmed the new $71 billion figure while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One.
- Canada has pushed back, with PM Mark Carney and diplomats calling Trump’s offer a “protection racket.”
- Trump said Canada could access the system for free if it became the 51st U.S. state.
Diving Deeper:
President Trump has put a new and steeper price on Canada’s potential entry into America’s “Golden Dome” missile defense program. Speaking from Air Force One on Monday, Trump told reporters, “They want to be in… Seventy-one billion they’re going to pay.”
That’s a $10 billion increase from the $61 billion figure Trump had previously floated, marking a sharp escalation in his negotiations with Ottawa. The Golden Dome, described by the administration as a “state-of-the-art” defense shield, aims to protect North America from a new era of missile threats—particularly those posed by China, Russia, and North Korea.
Trump has framed the Golden Dome as the long-awaited realization of Ronald Reagan’s “Star Wars” vision, using space-based sensors and interceptors to strike down incoming ballistic, cruise, or hypersonic missiles. Development timelines suggest full deployment is still 5–7 years off, but an initial $25 billion is already allocated in next year’s defense budget. The entire project may run upwards of $175 billion, with some estimates as high as $542 billion over 20 years.
Canada, which has long partnered with the U.S. under NORAD to detect airborne threats, has expressed interest in joining the project. But Trump is demanding a separate, costly buy-in. He reiterated that Ottawa would “have to pay a lot of money” to participate unless it pursued a full political union with the U.S. “It would be free if Canada became the 51st state,” he added.
Canadian leaders have pushed back hard. Prime Minister Mark Carney, re-elected in April after campaigning against U.S. interference, said Canada wants to protect its citizens but not under terms dictated from Washington. Ambassador to the U.N. Bob Rae went further, calling Trump’s offer a “protection racket.”
