Berry says the convoy wants to save children from the “human trafficking industry,”
Sounds like pizzagate
but also from “mandating the shots to kids and kids getting sick
Anti-vaxx disinformation
and frigging education and all the stuff they’re teaching them in schools
Anti-education disinformation
and the trans agenda [and], gender dysphoria – all of these things.”
Anti-trans moral panic fueled by disinformation
he and others have shared graphics claiming “the World Health Organization and the United Nations are instructing elementary schools around the world to have pedophilia normalized.”
Anti-LGBTQ moral panic fueled by disinformation
and the math agenda
Ah yes the tyranny of math
You know what really helps solve these imaginary issues? Blocking traffic in Canadian cities, inconveniencing random people, and committing acts of terrorism. Brilliant plan, fuckwits. If only they cared about real issues as much as their imaginary ones.
Oh and then there's this gem:
The “Save the Children Convoy,” a spin-off of recent anti-2SLGBTQ+ protests targeting schools and drag storytime events as well as loosely inspired by the controversial film “Sound of Freedom,” is being planned for Toronto in late summer or early fall. ...
This week, reports surfaced that one of the Sound of Freedom’s original funders had been arrested on child kidnapping charges in Missouri."We have met the enemy and they are us."
You beat me to it on that last line, but I'll highlight some others [emphasis mine]:
Berry is even more pointed about his concerns in the convoy’s private Facebook group where he and others have shared graphics claiming “the World Health Organization and the United Nations are instructing elementary schools around the world to have pedophilia normalized.”

Phillips says Sager’s comments point to the influence of “sovereign citizen ideology.”
As soon as I saw the headline, I wondered if Romana Didulo would be mentioned. She's a conspiracy nutbag who declared herself the Queen of Canada and started her cult of followers caravanning back and forth throughout Canada. She's been active since 2020. There's a fascinating look at her org at Vice. She wasn't mentioned in the original article, however.
The QAnonAnonymous podcast just did an episode about this lady too.
Well, if Her Majesty
Roman DildoRomana Didulo I, Queen of Canada, isn't endorsing it, must be fake gnus.
I can "understand" what they dislike about everything here except for ... math? Like, what? What could anyone possibly have against math?
They seem to hate and vilify what they don't understand.
Let us just say they hate a lot of things.
Maybe they are fans of Terrance Howard's new math?
It's those fuckin' numbers, man! I keep trying to make them do what I say, but they keep responding rationally. I want 2+2 to equal 5, but they won't fuckin' listen!
Idk man I'm pretty sure the number 6 transitioned from number 9 and now wants to have sex with children.
What's the 2SL part mean?
Had to google it. Evidently, 2-spirits, (native American tradition of non-binary.) The ever-lengthening acronym keeps growing...
Sexuality is complicated, so apparently is making an acronym that includes everything that's not cis-straight lol
I thought everything else was supposed to be covered under the "Q," but I guess it's important to some groups that they have their own letter. So, that makes the long-form 2SLGBTQIA+ now? Ugh, that does not roll off the tongue.
I feel like the sooner society accepts that sexuality is complex the less letters will need to be added so people feel like they're represented. I'm all for inclusion but I'd rather see a world where 2slgbtq+ is irrelevant and people are just free to be who they want to be, whatever letter that is
Pretty much. At this stage, I don't want anyone to feel left out, but after a certain point, trying to define more points on the spectrum of human gender expression and sexuality gets into diminishing returns. Even with the traditional colours of the rainbow, where does blue end and indigo begin? The labels exist to make it easier for people to talk about things and describe the world around us. Unless there is some specific nuance someone is trying to capture, LGBTQ+ should get the point across with the Q and the +. Technically, I think you could get the point across in most use cases with something more succinct than that, but that seems to be what has been established.
Still, I can totally get that someone can feel left out being lumped into the +, so individual use will and should vary. I still rail against the inefficiencies of common language though. The concept is simple, people who aren't in the big main hetero & cis sections of the spectrum.
This is what I'm hoping for in my lifetime. It's hard to explain but I want healthy sexuality to be so mainstream, and so socially acceptable that it's boring. That it doesn't need to be the focal point of a show or a movie or a book or whatever. That people can just be people and we don't need token characters at all. I want it to be so normal that it's boring.
Q is queer or questioning, depending on who you ask. Everyone not in the listed letters is covered under the +.
You know, I've always wondered if there's any animosity from the other groups since they get two letters but everyone else only gets one...
The theories and basis are always the same for centuries. They only wrapped them with a new tinfoil.
