Some trucker convoy organizers have history of white nationalism, racism

the trucker convoy started appearing on Ottawa streets, some Twitter users shared a particular photo: a pickup truck with a confederate flag flying from the bed.Now, as the convoy descends on Ottawa with the stated aim of opposing all COVID-19 mandates, anti-hate experts allege those with white nationalist and Islamophobic views don’t just represent the fringes of the movement but are among the organizers of the convoy.“We’re saying that this is a far-right convoy because — from day one — the organizers themselves are part of the far-right movement,” said Evan Balgord, executive director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network.“They have previously been involved in far-right movements and have made Islamophobic comments in the past.” Trucker convoy protest arrives in Ottawa for multi-day demonstration It can be difficult to determine who is a key organizer of the convoy, but there are some names that emerge time and time again — whether as authors of the $7.4million GoFundMe campaign, as points of contact on the website that boasts a petition with 240,000 signatures, or on social media posts providing widely-shared directions to anyone hoping to join.Global News contacted all the organizers mentioned in this story, but none responded by the time of publication. Jason LaFace, an Ontario organizer, did pick up the call, but upon the reporter identifying themselves, immediately laughed, said “no thank you,” and hung up the phone.The convoy initially kicked off with a focus on opposing vaccine mandates — especially the one aimed at truckers.

He thinks Quebec should install air exchangers in classrooms, something that’s been done in other provinces.Heidi Yetman, the president of the Quebec Provincial Association of Teachers, a union that represents teachers at English-language schools in the province, said that while the Education Department has installed carbon dioxide detectors in around 50 per cent of classrooms, it hasn’t acted to improve air quality.Quebec has said it plans to install air exchangers in some classrooms, but Yetman said she doesn’t know how many of the 400 devices the province says it has received have been installed.“The teacher that feels unsafe in their classroom and has a CO2 detector that says 2,000 parts per million, and we’re told if it goes higher than 1,500 parts per million then open your windows, that teacher is going to open windows, because she does not feel safe,” she said in an interview Friday.Asked to comment on Gagnon’s video, Florent Tanlet, a spokesman for Quebec Education Minister Jean-Francois Roberge, emailed a link to a Jan.
