Conservatives started a fundraiser for persecuted LGBTQ+ newcomers

Two Canadian Conservative Members of Parliament launched a fundraising initiative to support LGBTQ+ refugees. Deputy Leader Melissa Lantsman and MP Scott Aitchison are leading a fundraising boat cruise scheduled for July 15. The event aims to raise money for Rainbow Railroad. This organization helps resettle persecuted gender and sexual minorities from around the world into safe countries like Canada. Tickets for the cruise cost $150 each. The announcement video generated mixed public reactions online. Some citizens praised the initiative for promoting inclusion. Others criticized the party or raised concerns about the ongoing national affordability crisis.
