A Canadian Member of Parliament (MP) has debuted an insane new acronym.
Leah Gazan, who is an MP for the far-left New Democratic Party, used the phrase “MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” during a speech attacking Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Her specific gripe with Carney is over his cuts to various indigenous funding programs to make way for increased military spending, as President Trump demands NATO do more to shoulder the burden of international defense.
She ranted:
When the budget was released, I was shocked to find out that Prime Minister Carney is cutting $7 billion between Indigenous Services Canada and Crown Indigenous Relations. They provided zero dollars to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+.
This is abhorrent. This is callous. This is callous because the very Liberal government that has stripped organizations of life-sustaining funding has now promised, committed $13 billion, $13 billion on military spending.
Who is paying for it? Indigenous women across this country, Indigenous women, girls, 2SLGBTQQIA+, are not safe. In fact, rates of violence are increasing. And what is the Prime Minister doing? He is turning a blind eye on this violence.
You know, the Prime Minister talks a lot about projects of national interest. What is in the national interest are the lives, safety, security, and dignity, not in the national interest, of Indigenous women and girls, 2SLGBTQQIA+. Is the Prime Minister okay having Indigenous women, 2SLGBTQQIA+ family members and organizations coming to Parliament begging time and time again to see our humanity?
