I've seen a disturbing amount of misinformation floating all over reddit about what's happening here in Canada. The worst offenders have been crypto-related subs, but I want to set the record straight.

THIS IS NOT AN ANTIWORK MOVEMENT.

This was organized by known Nazis, and western separatists who want to eke out a fascist state in Alberta. Tamara Lich of Alberta's Mustang Party has been arrested. Nazi Pat King has been arrested.

For twenty one days the capital of Canada has been under siege. Nazi flags, attacks on the homeless, attacks on visible minorities and attacks on LGBT+ people have been widely reported. many police have outed themselves as sympathizers or outright supporters by posing for photos and even letting occupiers take selfies in their cruisers. There's been millions and millions of dollars flowing in from overseas, mainly from right wingers in the United States. Elon Musk even jumped on the “compare Trudeau to Hitler” bandwagon.

Please, if you need information about what is really happening in Canada refer to this extremely well-sourced post in /r/onguardforthee

Canada needs a general strike, but these people are not the ones to lead the charge. they've been demanding the dissolution of our democratically elected liberal government while cheering on literal nazis and holding the 28,000 residents of downtown Ottawa hostages in their own homes all the while causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damages and lost wages to small business owners, low-income earners, and big business alike.
