The loosely knit collective that vocally opposed COVID-19 health measures has morphed into a movement waging a broader fight against 'perceived government overreach,' says a newly released assessment from Canada's spy agency.

“While this perceived tyranny is widespread across the movement, other narratives are becoming increasingly common among adherents,” the brief says, citing opposition to:

  • the LGBTQ2S+ community, specifically drag story times and inclusion of material in public school curriculums;
  • perceived increase in global control over Canada by international institutions such as the United Nations and the World Economic Forum;
  • communism;
  • and the concept of “15-minute cities,” on the basis that planning easily navigable communities is a plot to restrict mobility rights and create a mass-surveillance state.

It’s just being ill-informed about everything and easily manipulated, with a heavy dose of bigotry. Shame on Poilievre and the Conservatives for indulging this stupidity for their own gain.

Dipshits don’t even realize we already have a mass surveillance state and that banning queer content is always an early play of overreaching governments
