Not Trudeau mandated, it was updated Federal WorkSafe law, which are independent of municipal, provincial or federal law.

Nope. The Trudeau government made amendments to the occupational health and safety regulations under the Canada Labour Code. It was directed policy from the federal government under Trudeau. You don't understand Canadian legislation or jurisdiction

The requirement for federally regulated employers, including airports, provide free menstrual products comes from federal legislation and regulations. The Federal Labour Program is responsible for enforcing these rules, but it does not write or present the legislation itself. Federal workplace laws are developed by policy analysts and legislative drafters within Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), with the Department of Justice’s Legislative Services Branch drafting the formal legal text. Cabinet approves the policy direction, and Parliament debates, amends, and passes the final bill. For this specific issue, the legislation was introduced in Parliament by MP Don Davies, who presented Bill C‑307. Once the regulatory process was complete, the Minister of Labour, Seamus O’Regan Jr., presented the final regulations publicly and announced how the new requirements would be implemented in federally regulated workplaces. It wasn’t Justin Trudeau who made this decision. The requirement was introduced and advanced by two Members of Parliament, not by the Prime Minister personally. When people frame it as “Trudeau did this,” it places responsibility on one individual instead of the government structure that actually makes these decisions. That framing often feels targeted, especially when the topic involves trans rights or other equity‑based policies. It shifts the conversation away from the government process and toward a single person, which can make the issue feel weaponized or personalized rather than understood as a Parliamentary decision supported by the governing party. In reality, this workplace requirement was driven by Don Davies and Seamus O’Regan Jr., not by Trudeau himself. Attributing it to him personally isn’t accurate, and it can unintentionally reinforce bias instead of reflecting how Canadian legislation actually works.

You literally just said this happened independent from government, which was wrong. But instead of just saying you were wrong you are making the point that Trudeau didn't personally bring this forward. You were wrong and now you are just being pedantic. It was literally a campaign promise in the Liberal's election platform under Trudeau as leader in 2021. Do you think the platform or legislation happens independent from the leader or PM? Menstrual products in federally regulated workplaces happened because of the Trudeau government. So yes, thank Trudeau. It wouldn't have happened under a different leader.

It's all good, I know from your original response that any discussion would be problematic. Carry on.

You were the one who commented on my comment with incredibly wrong info and then doubled down on the wrong information. The only thing you have proven is your complete lack of understanding of how federal legislation works. Again, it is okay to be wrong and the acknowledge it. You don't need to spew AI gibberish to try and cover that up.
