According to its recently tabled May 7 annual report to the House of Commons, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) claimed that it has assessed “exposure to entities espousing anti-gender extremist rhetoric” and that these people “could inspire and encourage serious violence against the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, or against those who are viewed as supporters of pro-gender ideology policies and events.”’

As I write this article, the total number of earthquakes in California and Nevada in the last 7 days is sitting at a grand total of 1010.
