A statement by Manitoba NDP MP Leah Gazan has gone viral on social media after she accused the federal government of ignoring an “ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” people in Canada.
In a clip posted April 8 by Juno News, Gazan slammed Budget 2026 for cutting $7 billion from Indigenous Services Canada and Crown-Indigenous Relations, declaring: “They provided $0 to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. Rates of violence are increasing, and the PM is turning a blind eye.”
