EXCLUSIVE: Leaked Canadian military internal survey asked soldiers if they have purchased "extremism group merchandise" within the past 2-5 years such as a Make Canada Great Again hat.

Here is the full leaked "anti hate" military questionnaire sent to all Canadian soldiers. 🧵

Soldiers who participate in the optional survey are asked if they have "liked" an extremist group post on social media, donated to an extremist cause, purchased extremist group merchandise such as a Make Canada Great Again hat.

The questionnaire also asked soldiers if they suspect members of their current unit or soldiers outside of their unit belong to extremist groups.

The questionnaire also asked soldiers to what extent they agree with the following statements, such as: “Jews have too much control over certain institutions,” “Canada appears to be moving towards fascism,” and “non-white immigration trends are a threat to white people.”

Soldiers were then asked if they have ever “searched for and watched extremist music and/or videos,” “sported a tattoo or clothing with extremist symbols,” or verbally or physically attacked a member of a racial or religious minority.

This survey is part of an independent study in partnership with the CAF titled “Hateful Conduct and Right-Wing Extremism in the Canadian Armed Forces” led by Ontario Tech University’s “anti-hate” researcher Barbara Perry and David Hoffman from the University of New Brunswick.
