Canadian lawmaker faces criticism for using extended “MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+” acronym in remarks
The clip drew nearly 40 million views after Gazan criticized $7 billion in cuts and invoked the long acronym for Indigenous women and girls.
- New Democratic Party MP Leah Gazan criticized Prime Minister Mark Carney this week, alleging the Liberal administration cut $7 billion from Indigenous Services Canada and Crown Indigenous Relations budgets while increasing military spending.
- Gazan accused Carney of ignoring legal obligations to end the ongoing genocide against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, citing findings from the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls conducted between 2016 and 2019.
- During her remarks, Gazan introduced the acronym 'MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+,' which went viral on social media garnering millions of views and was reposted by American billionaire Elon Musk.
- Critics debate whether 'genocide' accurately describes the situation, while Gazan contends the government provided $0 to address MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ needs despite previous commitments to the National Inquiry findings.
