Undermining the Family
The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is happy that the Mission Cultural Fund has been cancelled. This fund, part of Global Affairs, used taxpayers’ money wastefully, such as on a sex toy show in Germany and a photography exhibit for a rock star.
“This is a big win for taxpayers and it’s long overdue,” said Franco Terrazzano, federal director of the CTF.
“Paying for a sex toy show in Germany and flying chefs around the world was a huge waste of taxpayers’ money and Global Affairs should have shut this down years ago.”
The federal government released a statement without much attention stating that the Mission Cultural Fund had “expired on March 31, 2023.”

After initially claiming that his mandate doesn’t include faith-based communities, Rodriguez told Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu that proposed online hate laws will tackle the issue which has gone largely unaddressed by the federal Liberals.
“You said that faith based communities was not in your mandate letter. So I’m looking at the December 16, 2021 mandate letter that is out on the web for you,” said Gladu, pointing to the direct reference of faith-based communities.

Read MoreThe target on its back just keeps getting larger.
After facing threats of a boycott, US retail giant Target pulled some LGBTQ Pride products off its shelves at the front of stores located in the US south, moving them to smaller areas in the back.
At the heart of the issue were LGBTQ onesies for babies, ‘tuck friendly’ bathing suits and drag queen books targetted at young kids.
And, late last week, TheBlaze reported Target has had a partnership with the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) an LGBTQ educational organization that has advocated that schools don’t inform parents if their children decide to undergo a gender transition, for more than a decade.
Fox News picked up the story this week, reporting a Target Corporation senior executive, Carlos Saavedra, maintains a position with GLSEN, which is focused on integrating gender ideology at all levels of K-12 schools, from curriculum to district policy.

A UN human rights office is concerned that citizens in the “Global North” (e.g. Canada, the US, the UK, Australia, New Zealand) have a “shrinking space” for debate on issues of gender and gender identity.
“I am concerned by the shrinking space in several countries in the Global North for women and feminist organizations and their allies to gather and/or express themselves peacefully in demanding respect for their needs based on their sex and/or sexual orientation,” wrote Reem Alsalem, the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls.
