Again, though, I'm not Canadian, and their conservatives might be a lot more reasonable than our conservatives. I doubt it though.
Nah, mostly it's that judges aren't partisan hacks up here.
I get the impression that this is not an arbitrary ideological decision. The government is just refusing to fund summer camps that teach religious, non-factual sex and gender education. Anyone willing to arrange camps that teach stuff like that are free to fund the camp work force themselves.
Edit: I see no reason for any government to fund teaching something that can be shown to be non-truthful and harmful to a significant part of the population.
The thing is, the form they have to fill out specifically requires them to state that they support women's reproductive rights, which everyone understands to include the (nonexistent in law) right to an abortion. That's the ideological litmus test here--if you won't say that you support that, you can't access this grant program.
There might be other reasons to deny some or even all of these groups grants under this program (for instance, if they're looking for grants to lie to kids about sex and gender), but denying anyone who won't say they support women's reproductive rights access to the program is going too far for me.
For instance, let's say that someone applied for a grant under this program for a job that had absolutely nothing to do with sex or gender or reproduction or medicine or anything like that (just as a hypothetical--I don't know if this would be a job that could be funded by this--working as a data entry clerk for a small accounting firm). The applicant's stance on abortion has absolutely no bearing on what they're looking to hire someone to do, or what their business does, but if they won't, for whatever reason, tick that box about women's reproductive rights, they can't get the grant even though someone who does tick that box but is otherwise in an identical circumstance can.
