Trump's Abortion Gag Rule Draws Canadian Response

American aid restrictions are blocking funding to any organization in developing countries that provides abortion services, science-based sexual health info, or LGBTQ+ advocacy. Canadian aid groups, including Oxfam, are now urging PM Mark Carney to assemble a coalition of like-minded nations to defend these programs. The groups argue that cutting funding puts lives at risk in vulnerable communities. It's a stark reminder that federal policy shifts elsewhere ripple across borders—and that Canada's aid sector is watching Washington closely.
