Intelligence agency says risk will 'almost certainly continue' over the coming year
"Canada's intelligence agency is warning that extremists could "inspire and encourage" serious violence against the 2SLGBTQI+ community — a threat the Canadian Security Intelligence Service says almost certainly will continue over the coming year.

The CSIS mouthpiece points to only one Canadian violent incident, and it's not clear that had anything to do with anti-LGBT sentiment. An Italian exchange student went crazy in a Gender Studies class at the U of Waterloo. When I was at school, Gender Studies was called Women's Studies, and it still covers much of the same feminist material I learned, along with new helpings of Judith Butler.
I don't see how the actions of an Italian tell us anything about Canadian attitudes towards LGBT people or the alleged threat of copycat violence that never materialized. CSIS has offered no evidence at all to back up the claim that the "anti-gender movement" poses a threat of "extreme violence" to the "2SLGBTQ+ community" in Canada. But, I guess CSIS has to justify its budget somehow, and with the current government right-wing terror is an easier sell than the old "ecoterror" of the Harper years.
There is plenty more evidence of gender based violence than this one incident you mention. Your strange fixation with the assailant's Italian background being somehow relevant to non-Italians' hatred and violence in our society is also strange. Take your head out of your ass, anonymous.
