abstract="This paper reads the recent Ontario fertility program as a pro-natalist neo-eugenics project that is enacted through the logic of homonationalism in Canada. It demon-strates that the program's use of pinkwashing through an emphasis on LGBTQ+ people obscures not only the inaccessibility of fertility treatment both on individual and structural levels particularly to Indigenous people, people of colour and poor people, but also to other minoritized populations, who have survived but continue to face a genocidal government. The paper moves past questions of inclusion to question the nation-state's priorities with regard to the allocation of $50 million to facilitate the reproduction of primarily white people in the context of suicide crises on reserves and Black youth experiencing alarming rates of police violence. When the nation-state is positioned in terms of these factors, it becomes clear that it is using coded strategies to foster the building of a wealthy white citizenship. © 2019, University of Toronto Press.
