Their support for #yellowvestscanada is obvious. /2 
PFM shared numerous live feeds from the #unitedweroll convoy /3
PFM also shared this interesting video from Ron Barr. Besides the audio, the text of the YouTube post is also good to note. /4
What else are they about?
The spokesperson, Pete Downing, an AB based ex-RCMP officer, whose personal @facebook likes include a number of far right personalities like Lauren Southern, appeared on Winnipeg Alternative Media, whose main moron is a Proud Boy out of Wpg. /5

On this same feed, they laughed at and mocked people who said the NZ shooter was a white supremacist, and implied he was actually a communist. Downing also said leftists are losers who should be fighting pedophilia instead. I’m unsure why it’s an either/or. /6
I’ve collected a number of examples of their anti-Muslim rhetoric, as well as responses on their posts
In this example, there’s a story that I can’t find anywhere else besides the two sources that cite each other. /7

More anti-Muslim rhetoric on PFM.

And some more anti-Muslim rhetoric from PFM. /9
Here are some responses to the college kid wearing a MAGA hat to a NZ vigil. /10
I find their response to social media supposedly cracking down on white nationalism interesting. /11
In fact, they released this statement, aimed at @Facebook. /12
They may not be “race based” in priority and bias, but they sure are religion based. /13
They also hate “globalists” and the UN. Reminder: “globalist” and Soros are revisited old anti-Semitic tropes . They are often used by ignorant people who would not characterize themselves as hateful of Jews.

More conspiratorial anti-UN/“globalist” content from PFM. /15
Fantasies of violence against @trudeau, coupled with anti-UN conspiracy theories. /16
This is just a really racist dog whistle. /17
They don’t seem bothered by the content on #yellowvestscanada /18
They even threw in a sprinkling of #transphobia /19
They seem really preoccupied with pedophilia /20
They also propagate fake news.
In this example, they share a garbage post from garbage person Spencer Fernando, claiming @JustinTrudeau committed fraud by using a pic of a forest fire to support fight for climate change.
It was a tweet, and photo was from @TorontoStar /21

In response /22
It’s clear that Prairie Freedom Movement is whipping people into a frenzy, blaming “despicable leftists,” and spreading anti-Islam prop, stoking fires of division, while threatening to sue anyone who dares to call them out.
Bring it. /23
Bring it. /23
@threadreaderapp unroll
I also forgot to mention that Peter Downing has run for office in Edmonton under the Christian Heritage Party.
Interesting, given his distaste for religious based laws from other countries.
