“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.
