Sorry to burst the bubble but they don't actually care about men.

Federal health minister to launch strategy on men's and boys' health in 2026

The researchers also found that informal caregiving responsibilities for men with health challenges fall disproportionately to the women in their lives, a burden that had a negative effect on their own mental and physical health.

"It's important, obviously, to continue to have a priority on women's health and increased services for women and girls."

Though many may say this is a step forward. I see it as a crumb being tossed to men.

Especially until Canada sees the flaws in the ideology of things like feminism. Men and Boys can't have any true access to support. This plan is organized by Movember and a BC university. One of Movembers goals is to have a deputy department under the Minister for Women and Gender Equity for Men and Boys.

Movember seeks to make men and boys advocacy and awarness second place to women and girls. Not to call out the bigotry and misandry that is applied in Canada.

Just so people are aware Canada has: The Minister for Women and Gender Equality A Standing Committee on the Status of Women The Feminist International Policy GBA+ a system that is meant to identify inequality and exclusion in legislation and is controlled via the Minister for Women The Employment Equity Act that only applies to women and not men The Pay Equity act that does not allow male job classes to seek pay equity MGM is legal and FGM is cirminalized. One word could be added to the criminal code and MGM would be criminalized.

The issue with this program is that the underlining understanding and ideology of gender equality and equity remains. The players in government will water down support or find ways to say men aren't doing enough. Instead of understanding that the system fails men, they'll find ways to say men aren't using the system and it's men who have to change.

This is a step forward. But it very likely will add to the pile. That caring for men and boys comes second to women and girls. We only care about men and boys Healthcare becuase it ends up affecting women and girls. Not because men and boys are human beings worthy of the same protections or support.

Canada has in it charter a clause (seciton 15(2)) that allows it to sidestep equality and supplant equity through the idea that women are an oppressed class no matter what. So any program, legislation or action that only applies to women and girls is legal. Aka why MGM isn't cirminalized though it should be via seciton 15(1) of the charter and the foundational principles of Equality and Equity. This same concept doesn't hold for men and boys as a class. So you'll see much softer language in the actions they are willing to take to help men and boys. Even going so far to say we must assure that this doesn't take away from women and girls funding or support. When they didn't care about taking away from boys funding or support in other areas of society when trying to help women and girls.

will be about 'how men need to better themselves for women' or/and 'women and girls affected therefore men need to change'
