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.

Trump fires chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, appoints new military leader

President Donald Trump announced Friday the dismissal of General Charles Brown, the current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his gratitude toward Brown for his extensive contributions and leadership, wishing him and his family a prosperous future. Brown’s departure marks a pivotal moment in U.S. military leadership following over 40 years of service.

“I want to thank General Charles “CQ” Brown for his over 40 years of service to our country, including as our current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He is a fine gentleman and an outstanding leader, and I wish a great future for him and his family,” Trump wrote.

Simultaneously, Trump introduced his nominee for Brown’s successor.

“Today, I am honored to announce that I am nominating Air Force Lieutenant General Dan “Razin” Caine to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Caine is an accomplished pilot, national security expert, successful entrepreneur, and a “warfighter” with significant interagency and special operations experience,” Trump said.

Trump said Caine’s appointment comes after he was overlooked for advancement during former President Joe Biden’s presidency.

“General Caine was passed over for promotion by Sleepy Joe Biden. But not anymore! Alongside Secretary Pete Hegseth, General Caine and our military will restore peace through strength, put America First, and rebuild our military,” Trump said. President Trump also announced plans to appoint five additional senior military officials, tasks he has delegated to Secretary Hegseth.

It was reported Thursday that Hegseth plans to dismiss Brown as part of President Trump’s commitment to eliminate “wokeness” from the military. Brown reportedly appears on a list of proposed removals submitted to Congress.

Brown had previously expressed his wish to retain his position even after Trump took office, and according to sources speaking to NBC News in Dec. 2024, Trump seemingly moderated his views on the general. Biden nominated Brown as chairman in 2023, and despite a heated confirmation hearing where senators scrutinized his alleged implementation of racial quotas in Air Force hiring practices, he was confirmed.

Meanwhile, Brown’s replacement, Caine, took office as the associate director for Military Affairs at the CIA on Nov. 3, 2021, after serving as the director of Special Programs at the Pentagon. Lt. Gen. Dan Caine, an F-16 pilot with extensive experience including over 150 combat hours, was commissioned in 1990 and has held numerous key roles, from the White House staff to special operations, and balances his military career with entrepreneurial ventures.
