In a statement to CNN, the global affairs department of the Canadian government said: "Since the beginning of 2023, certain states in the US have passed laws banning drag shows and restricting the transgender community from access to gender affirming care and from participation in sporting events."

Canada has provided specific guidelines to its LGBTQ+ citizens traveling abroad: "Watch for laws that: criminalize same-sex activities and relationships [and] criminalize people based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics."

"Some countries may use laws related to 'vagrancy', 'public nuisance' or 'public morals' to criminalize 2SLGBTQI+ people."

I think canada explicitly includes 2S for two spirit since they have a lot of indigenous people to whom its culturally important, so it does seem longer than most cases where 2S ends up under the + umbrella.
