It’s Thursday, April 9, 2026. I’m allegedly Jim Treacher. And I just learned a new acronym. You just heard it.
Okay, let me try this: MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+.
That stands for: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and additional identities.
Again, that’s MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+. I find it helps to go three letters at a time. Like when you’re giving your account number to the customer service guy, who says his name is Steve but he has an Indian accent.
The speaker there is named Leah Gazan. (Oops. There’s a warning sign right there.) Who is a member of Canadian Parliament. She’s in the NDP, whatever that is. No offense, Canada, but you don’t matter.
Indigenous women’s organizations are calling on the federal government to provide sustained long-term funding to programs addressing missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, two-spirit and gender diverse people.
So it’s Canadians who are terrified of having a fraction of a percent less government in their lives.
Okay, for real, this is a serious topic. You don’t want to see women kidnapped and murdered.
Not most women, anyway. I mean, there are names that come to mind…
But no. Nobody should go through that.
Mostly.
