1. From Florida to the Conservative convention in Ottawa to the streets of Vancouver, the far right’s campaign against transgender people is gaining momentum. In the political arena, the Conservative Party is moving to shaft transgendered people...

cbc.ca/news/politics/…

2. ...but in the streets the far right is just the tip of the spear.

3. What is being packaged as a campaign to protect children and preserve “parents’ rights” is, in reality, the tip of a wedge designed to inflame and mobilize its followers against transgendered folks, the LGBTQ community, antiracism programs, and much more.

4. On Wednesday, September 20, this campaign will see anti-transgender demos in Vancouver and 66 other Canadian cities take place. The Vancouver demonstration is being organized by two ranking members of the Conservative Party of B.C.

5. One is James Davison, president of the Abbotsford South constituency association of the Conservative Party of B.C. And leader of B.C.s biggest antivaxx organization, Stand United.

6. He wants to be elected MLA.

7. He also wants to hang politicians.

8. Not only that, he wants to see a civil war if his fellow antivaxxers don’t get their way. “If we can’t succeed legally—if we can’t succeed now, legally—then we are going to be in a civil-war situation. That is a fact.”

9. Now he’s adding another target – "groomers" and "predators".

10. Davison’s partner, Marcella Desjarlais is vice president of the same BC Con constituency association. She also shares his desire to hang people, but in her case, it’s journalists she’d like to string up.

11. Her roots are in the PPC and the convoy.

12. And QAnon.

13. Let’s have a look at some of the other organizers. Simultaneously with the Vancouver demonstration, similar actions will be taking place in Surrey, Chilliwack, Abbotsford & other centres across B.C. The Surrey demo is being organized by the Freedom Party of British Columbia.

14. The Freedom Party of British Columbia is a fascist mini-party.

15. ALL THE CONSPIRACIES

16. Its leader, Amrit Birring, believes the “pedophile agenda” is part of an orchestrated global plot to destroy Canada.

17. He’s also made it pretty clear he’s a gun nut. “Practicing with my Glock. Perhaps it should be mandatory for high school graduation”.

18. Here’s Birring with two of his Freedom Party buddies, Pierre Barns and Marius Malciu.

19. Barns describes himself as a racist bigot, a misogynist and a transphobe.

20. He’s spoken repeatedly at Freedom Party demonstrations.

21. Marius Malciu is a Freedom Party supporter and a sovereign citizen, one who likes to post Nazi videos to his Facebook page, like on June 4 when he uploaded “Europa – The Last Battle”.

22. The video, "Europa - The Last Battle", is described by the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League as "an anti-Semitic, World War II revisionist film released in 2017 that claims Jews deliberately caused both World Wars..."

23. "...and that Hitler was only trying to save Germany from the Jews--as part of a plot to found the nation of Israel. The film is popular with white supremacists and antisemites, who often use it to recruit new individuals into their hateful ideology."

24. Many Freedom Party activists like Tony Mitra are not sure their campaign against SOGI can be won peacefully: "Perhaps only a revolution will do.  But we're hoping that that revolution will still be peaceful."

25. Mitra has issued a last-ditch appeal to fight the globalists.

26. Kanwaljit Singh has also spoken at multiple Freedom Party rallies.

27. He’s a FPBC activist, founder of the convoyista Sikhs Freedom Alliance and a militant in the Khalistan movement. He was also one of the leaders of the January 2022 border blockade at the Pacific truck crossing.

28. Transgender kids are not his only obsession.

29. Not by a long shot.

30. And he has a great sense of humor. Not.

31. PPC's Laura Lynn Tyler Thompson wants her Christian fundamentalist flock to believe “we have got this sick thing happening on the planet where people are not doing what is right. They are absolutely doing the worst thing. They are doing the kind of thing that harms children.”

32. “And God’s idea about that is that it would be better if they tied a noose around their neck and on the other side of that put a really heavy brick, like, just tie a huge weight, a rock, to your neck and throw yourself into the ocean and let yourself die.”

33. “That would be better for you that what’s coming, than God’s judgement on you for harming children.”

34. Tyler Thompson made that remark / threat about millstones while introducing anti-SOGI activist Ronnie Herman during her September 8 program. “I have an incredible guest on today, her name is Ronnie Herman...”

35. “...and she works very closely with a friend of this show, Pierre Barns, and they have been outlining and outing what has been going on in the schools.”

36. Here’s Ronnie and her merry band outing the BC Teachers’ Federation.

37. Herman harangued the police when they arrived for failing to arrest the BCTF.

38. These are not isolated nutbars who should simply be ignored. They’re an integral part of the broad-based right-wing campaign to eradicate transgender and LGBTQ rights, a campaign that now includes the government of Saskatchewan...

39. The government of New Brunswick...

cbc.ca/news/canada/ne…

40. One that will soon include the governments of Manitoba.

41. And of Ontario:

42. And it’s a hate campaign the Conservative Party of Canada has eagerly cosigned. Conservatives & the far right have allied around “parents’ rights”. The far right are the tip of the spear. The actual targets? The whole 2SLGBTQ+ community & their allies. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

43. Fascists has been a key player in equating transgender rights with pedophilia and unleashing a hellstorm of hate against LGBTQ communities across the country. We cannot ignore them any more that we can ignore their allies in the PPC and the Conservative Party.

44. We have to fight them. Tooth and nail, without respite, wherever they rear their heads.
