In 2015, Trudeau promised to end Canada's discriminatory donation policies. Today he claims he did! But he and his government fought change every step of the way. And, since, succeeded to dismiss our case. Yet we still cannot donate.. liberal.ca/pride/

Plenty of presidents have been called dictators by their political opponents. But Donald Trump is the only one who has been publicly accused of being a fascist by his own former advisers.
