It's not enough for Ukraine to beat the Ruskies! They need to be gEnDeR iNcLuSiVe while doing it!
Trudeau's government just granted $4 million to Ukraine's fight against Russia, specifically for a "gender-inclusive" demining operation.
The press release that went out Saturday makes mention of $3.02 billion in financial and military support to Ukraine in 2024, but it also outlines a number of smaller, targeted initiatives.
One of these, listed as 'Gender-inclusive demining for sustainable futures in Ukraine,' has a funding budget of $4 million.
"Gender-inclusive demining" ... as opposed to the male-dominated military career path of detecting and disposing of dangerous land mines.
Why can't women and trans people put their lives on the lines to find mines?
Now, they can, thanks to a very generous Canada.
This is seriously what they're doing.
This project from the HALO Trust aims to safeguard the lives and livelihoods of Ukrainians, including women and internally displaced persons, by addressing the threat of explosive ordnance present across vast areas of the country. Project activities include conducting non-technical surveys and subsequent manual clearance in targeted communities; providing capacity building to key national stakeholders; and establishing a gender and diversity working group to promote gender-transformative mine action in Ukraine.
Canada is really concerned with the mine action in Ukraine being "gender transformative."
"NOT ENOUGH WOMEN AND TRANS FOLKS ARE BEING BLOWN UP BY MINES! WE NEED EQUITY"
I asked AI to help us visualize this and it did not disappoint.
As the website of The HALO Trust explains, 'Clearing landmines inspires confidence by making land safe. It is also empowering for men and women alike. With training and a living wage, they can take control of their destiny.' The HALO Trust is a U.K.-based non-governmental organization dedicated to clearing landmines in conflict zones around the world.
This sort of woke BS makes me wanna puke. It's a level of pandering you never imagined could exist.
But here it is.
The only thing really surprising about this story is that Canada thought of it before American Democrats.
