Elon Musk blasts Canada over new LGBTQ+ acronym 

Billionaire businessman Elon Musk blasted Canada this week after a left-wing member of Parliament complained about funding tied to an expanding LGBTQ+-related acronym.

Musk slammed the neighbor to the north for a comment made by Leah Gazan, who argued the Canadian government is not doing enough to address what she called a “genocide” involving a group she called “MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+.”

“Canada is cooked,” Musk wrote on X.

He later added another remark mocking the acronym’s length.

“I guess there are still some letters left in the alphabet,” he said.

Gazan made her comments during a news conference on Parliament Hill in Ottawa while criticizing the Liberal government’s 2026 budget. She said the government failed to allocate money to prevent what she described as a genocide against the group.

“They provided $0 to deal with the ongoing genocide of MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. Rates of violence are increasing, and the PM is turning a blind eye,” Gazan said.

The acronym refers to “Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual people.”

The use of long and evolving acronyms tied to gender identity has become more common in Canadian politics. Officials, including former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, have used variations such as “2SLGBTQIA+,” which includes “Two-Spirit,” a term used by some Indigenous groups to describe individuals who identify as having both masculine and feminine spiritual traits.

The debate comes as Canada’s federal government continues to expand taxpayer funding tied to gender identity programs and LGBTQ+ advocacy. The latest budget includes tens of millions of dollars for related initiatives, including funding for community groups and “pride” safety efforts, according to LifeSiteNews.

Critics have questioned whether the growing focus on identity-based programs reflects the priorities of ordinary citizens, especially as economic pressures continue to affect families across North America. Musk’s comments tapped into broader frustration over government messaging and spending priorities.

Gazan has previously faced criticism for legislative proposals that would penalize those who challenge government-backed narratives on historical issues. Her past efforts have raised concerns about free expression and whether dissenting viewpoints could face legal consequences.

The exchange highlights a growing divide between political leaders and critics who argue government priorities have increasingly focused on ideological causes rather than core public concerns. Musk’s comments drew significant attention online and added to ongoing criticism of Canada’s policy direction.
