Leave it to our neighbors up north to take identity politics and turn it into performance art that makes even the most jaded American roll his eyes. A Canadian politician recently unleashed MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ on an unsuspecting public during a press conference, treating it like some sacred incantation while railing against budget cuts. This isn’t satire. This is what passes for serious discourse in Justin Trudeau’s successor’s Canada, where Prime Minister Mark Carney just axed seven billion dollars from Indigenous Services Canada and Crown-Indigenous Relations in the 2026 federal budget. The response? A meltdown over zero funding for the “ongoing genocide” of… well, whatever the hell this acronym means.
The whole thing went viral faster than a bad hockey fight because it sounds less like policy and more like someone smashing their keyboard after too many maple syrup lattes. But Canadians have been cooking this stew for years. The full string popped up in official national action plans back in 2021, mashing together legitimate concerns about violence against Indigenous women and girls with the ever-expanding rainbow of gender and sexual identities. Now it’s being dropped casually in parliamentary speeches as if everyone should just nod along.

Breaking Down the Beast: Letter by Agonizing Letter
Here is what MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ actually spells out, straight from the mouths of the people pushing it:
Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual—plus whatever else gets added next week.
Start with the front half. Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls is a real crisis in Canada. Indigenous women and girls face disproportionately high rates of violence and disappearances, a tragedy that demands serious attention, not slogans. The “2S” tacks on Two-Spirit, a term some Indigenous communities use for people embodying both masculine and feminine spirits. Fair enough in cultural context, but it gets jammed into every discussion like mandatory sprinkles on a Tim Hortons donut.
Then comes the back half, the familiar alphabet soup on steroids: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and the inevitable plus sign for any future letters the activists dream up. The result is a 17-character monstrosity that reads like a Wi-Fi password from a Berkeley faculty lounge crossed with a government grant application. The politician who dropped it did so with a straight face, no notes, demanding more taxpayer cash to fight this supposed genocide while ignoring the budget realities staring her in the face.
The Real Problem: Turning Tragedy Into a Grievance Industry
Violence against Indigenous women and girls is no joke. It has plagued Canada for decades, with families demanding answers and action. But slapping every identity group under the sun into one giant victim category does not solve murders or prevent disappearances. It dilutes the focus, turns a public safety issue into an intersectional checkbox exercise, and lets politicians grandstand about systemic this and colonial that instead of fixing root causes like family breakdown, addiction, and on-reserve dysfunction.
Calling it an “ongoing genocide” is the cherry on top of the absurdity sundae. Genocide implies deliberate extermination by the state. What Canada actually has is a heartbreaking pattern of intra-community violence that predates any modern budget debate. Lumping in Two-Spirit folks and the full LGBTQQIA+ roster does not make the data clearer. It just makes the acronym longer and the policy dumber. Rates of violence are indeed high, as the lawmaker correctly noted, but throwing billions at acronyms has not fixed it yet, which is why the budget cutters are taking a hard look.
Will This Nonsense Leak South of the Border?
Here is the million-dollar question for every America First realist watching this circus from south of the 49th parallel: Is MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ coming to a school board meeting, corporate DEI session, or Democratic presser near you?
Short answer: The usual suspects will try. American leftists have imported plenty of Canadian social experiments before—think carbon taxes, speech codes, and pronoun mandates. Progressive activists here love nothing more than adopting the latest export from Toronto or Ottawa, especially when it lets them lecture the rest of us about equity and inclusion. Indigenous issues in the United States have their own parallels with missing and murdered cases on reservations, and the identity crowd already pushes similar framing stateside. Give it six months and some blue-state legislator will be demanding funding for MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ awareness programs, probably while defunding actual law enforcement.
But here is the longer, more realistic answer: It will not stick. America is not Canada. We do not have a parliamentary system that rewards fringe parties for escalating the crazy. We have a culture that, despite years of woke bombardment, still prizes competence over acronyms. Everyday Americans—working families in flyover country, not the coastal elites—are exhausted by this stuff. They see a 17-letter initialism and instinctively reach for the mute button. The viral mockery pouring in from every corner of the internet proves the public is not buying what these clowns are selling. When even mainstream outlets treat it as peak absurdity rather than profound insight, you know the momentum is not there.
America First means we reject this imported nonsense outright. We address real problems—violence against women, Indigenous poverty, border security—without turning them into a mandatory pronoun parade. Our Constitution protects individuals, not curated victim classes. We do not need Ottawa’s latest linguistic export to tell us how to protect our people. If Canadian politicians want to memorize Wi-Fi passwords for votes, that is their problem. Here, we keep it simple: Secure the border, enforce the law, and stop pretending every tragedy requires a new acronym.
The lesson from this latest Canadian export is clear. When governments prioritize symbolism over substance, they get longer acronyms and shorter results. America has enough homegrown problems without importing this one. Keep laughing at it. That ridicule is the best defense we have.
