Other right-wing accounts variously reacted by describing the move as Orwellian, lamenting the death of free speech and even contemplating leaving Canada for good.

Oh no. Not that. Please no.

they're not "calling someone a groomer", they're specifically calling LGBT people groomers. as in all of them. even if accusing a single person of being a groomer, you need evidence. this is a coordinated hate campaign intended to whip people into a frenzy about a "threat from within taking over our great country". it's fascism.
