For those who keep score

There is a Canadian being held in jail in Egypt. The claim was that he confessed that he was a spy for Israel. The counter-claim was that he was tortured into make that confession. The Canadian government offered no consular assistance to Mohammed El-Attar during the time that he was allegedly tortured and the government has washed its hands of the affair since. El-Attar is gay.

At a time when the incidence of HIV/AIDS is growing in Canada by 8-10% per year, the government of Canada has cut research and treatment funding. The largest group of sufferers are gay.

In 2009, Diane Ablonzy, a junior Harper minister, was stripped of her responsibility to dole out tourism funding after she gave $400,000 to the Gay Rights Parade in Toronto. Then the government overturned their own officials to deny funding to a gay event in Montreal, Cite-divers.

In 2008, our local golden-boy MP, Pierre Whatever, criticized the Ontario government for funding sex change operations through OHIP.  The recipients of the operations, all 10 of them in any given year, are gay.
