The ‘Save the Children Convoy’ is struggling as organizers accuse one another of being ‘undercover cops’ or planning ‘violence’ and ‘terrorism’
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.
I can “understand” what they dislike about everything here except for … math? Like, what? What could anyone possibly have against math?
My wife just got back from a literal math conference with fellow math researchers. I asked her what the math agenda is and she said snacks & coffee at 10am because everyone was tired from being up early to make it to the conference.
I’ll let you know if any other nefarious math-based plots are exposed.
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
Well it is a gateway to calculus, soon you’ll be able to be closer to understanding problems that include changing values like acceleration. Okay I may be misremembering calculus but there was way more Pythagoras theorum involved than you’d guess at first look.
It’s about time someone stood up to math.
If god wanted us to count past ten we’d have more fingers.
They’re called toes. If God didn’t want us to use them we would have been born with shoes!
maybe they meant meth? or they’ve got a deep-seated fear of trigonometry?
Nah, they’re fine with meth. Math scares them because they can’t twist it to fit their bigoted beliefs, they’ve tried their little hearts out tho.
They should go hand in hand honestly. How do you figure out if you got shorted on your ice if you can’t to math?
Later in the story they talk about the supposed MAP (or “minor-attracted persons”) agenda – maybe “the Math Agenda” was a misspeak referring to that?
But on the other hand, these people are also lunatics so 🤷
It is of acute importance to stay vigilant of mathematicians; we cannot go on tangents and let their plots divide us. I’m sure they’re integrating themselves into positions of power, and knowing even a fraction of their schemes could be of prime significance to factoring out their plans to subtract our freedoms.
Could be this? https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/17/us/florida-math-textbooks-critical-race-theory
“ DeSantis said state officials “got rid” of Common Core, a standardized teaching method rolled out in 2010. The method requires children to group numbers to solve arithmetic problems, rather than the vertical “carry the one” method familiar to most adults. The approach goes beyond simple computation to emphasize deeper mathematical concepts. The department said some of the rejected textbooks incorporated Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and references to critical race theory – two frameworks or philosophies that some conservative groups claim are being used to indoctrinate students. Some schools around the country have recently used SEL strategies to help students cope with stress and the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning defines SEL as a teaching framework aimed at helping “young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.” More than a dozen states have set standards for teaching SEL in grade schools, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. But as more states consider SEL strategies, conservative groups have claimed critical race theory is embedded into the framework.”
A lot of comments are rightfully laughing at these morons for their infighting and incompetence, but we need to stay vigilant as this is a rising fascist movement. Sure right now it’s not well organized and has loonies running the show, but eventually they may attract a very smart evil person into the ranks who could actually grow the movement to critical mass.
Anyone thinking Canada doesn’t have a mental health crisis, well here’s the proof.
So the message is entirely generic. I guess anyone with that message can join. Should we all just join the convoy in a bid to “save the children” from these people?
Sometimes it is so dumb it works. The previous convoy was also a “pick your own cause” mess, and I think this helped the movement gather support because a large group of people thought it was for a bunch of good causes like worker rights. In reality it was a loon anti-vax, anti-liberal movement and the organizers wanted the government to resign and give them political positions. not kidding.
