Absolutely shameful that we allow this person into the country, much less speak at a "technology" conference.

We, as a country, absolutely love giving fascists a seat at our table and then surprised-Pikachuing when they shank us with the steak knife.

Never heard of them but i also don't socialize with fascists or vaccine conspiracy nuts. Personally i think CBSA should deny them entry into Canada based on their intent to spread disinformation and undermine democratic values.

Yarvin is a right-wing self-described "philospher" who's cited as an inspiration/"intellectual" justification of their modern fascist movement. He is a Piece of Work.

I'm not familiar with Yarvin or the vaccine basher but have definitely heard about Southern. Southern is Canadian and from near Vancouver.

I think she'd qualify as one of Canada's most famously racist figures (of the present).
