40000 a year? What, dollars?

Woooooow, that's like one entire person working full-time on this issue.

In all seriousness, let's be thankful it even exists.

Okay, a short lesson in politics.

Here's how it works: you put a trifle into a politically experimental program, and see what happens; if it gains traction, claim victory and leverage it for political power as you drive for some real capital; if it doesn't pan out, the low investment minimizes embarrassment.

This is a big deal. Make no mistake. The amount of money is irrelevant.

By state measure this is nothing, quantity wise. But the fact that it actually is a thing now - is huge.

This is a drop in the bucket of the justice department budget.

More was spent in resources and administration to make the announcement.

Feminists get 10 times that shit.

Equality.

So we will cut the federal position in Canada of having a Minister for the Status of Men (for financial reasons), while keeping the Minister for the Status of Women, then, two years later invest this small amount into something the federal government is acknowledging is a problem while disregarding every other issue of men. I guess it is a safe PR move because he can just say that men need to be able to seek help after they get abused by other men...

This is welcome news. Though I do wonder- it as much as they give female sex-abuse programs?

Forty grand a year? That's fuck all. What a joke.
