What believers are saying

  • Women and Gender Equality Canada pledged $54.6 million over five years for 2SLGBTQI communities.
  • Egale’s August 2026 polling found 90% of Canadians worry about misinformation.
  • Its public-facing webinars, Pride bookings, and workplace inclusion services monetize urgent employer demand.

What critics are saying

  • Alberta’s Bill 9 and lifted injunction weaken Egale’s gender-care litigation path by 2027.
  • March 2026 board-president resignation exposed internal controversy over antisemitism and coalition discipline.
  • If federal 2SLGBTQI funding tightens after 2026, Egale’s advocacy budget shrinks sharply.

  • It released Rights, Safety, and Belonging in July 2026 with Environics Research.

Egale Canada & Environics Research - 2SLGBTQI Inclusion.

Egale Canada & Environics Research - 2SLGBTQI Inclusion. Egale Canada commissioned Environics Research on national study on 2SLGBTQI inclusion in Canada. Environics Research conducted a national public opinion survey on behalf of Egale Canada exploring Canadians' perspectives on misinformation, healthcare, education, recreational sport, and safety for 2SLGBTQI communities. Egale Canada has released Rights, Safety, and Belonging: 2SLGBTQI Inclusion in Canada, a national opinion research report developed in partnership with Environics Research. The study examines how Canadians view key issues affecting 2SLGBTQI communities, including misinformation, access to healthcare, inclusion in education, participation in recreational sport, and overall safety and belonging. The study was conducted online by Environics Research between April 21 and May 1, 2026. The national survey gathered perspectives from 1,529 Canadians aged 18 and older, with representation across provinces, age groups, and sex. The findings point to a clear public recognition that more work is needed to advance 2SLGBTQI inclusion and safety across many areas, with more than half of Canadians believe Canada still has work to do before 2SLGBTQI people can be fully safe and free to be themselves. The report arrives at a moment when public conversations about artificial intelligence, online safety, and the spread of misinformation are becoming increasingly urgent. Many Canadians continue to express concern about the difficulty of distinguishing credible information from false or misleading content, particularly in digital spaces where harmful narratives can spread quickly. Through this research, Egale Canada aims to deepen public understanding of the issues affecting 2SLGBTQI people and identify opportunities to strengthen education, digital literacy, and community safety. While the survey represents a snapshot of current public sentiment, its findings provide important evidence to support ongoing advocacy, public education, and collaborative action. "At Environics, we believe research plays an important role in fostering informed public conversations. By understanding Canadians' perspectives on these issues, organizations like Egale can identify opportunities to strengthen education, digital literacy, community safety, and belonging. While this survey represents a snapshot in time, it provides important evidence to support ongoing advocacy, public education, and informed decision-making."
