Doug Ford was elected at least in part by the very people out there spreading the Anti-LGBTQ messages. I was spending the summer in one of the communities south of Ottawa during the 2018 election, I don't vote in Ontario, but I spend that particular summer with Ontario voters. One of the big draws of Ford in that election, according to the supporters of his I know, was that he would be against the school boards teaching , quote "little kids about gay sex, and anal sex, in grade 1". I told her it wasn't true as I had read the curriculum changes and no such thing was happening, I told her she could read the curriculum online herself and see that this was not happening, and all I got for that was told that "they talk about it in Church, it's true". The people out protesting today against gender and LGBTQ+ topics being dealt with in school are so easily lead around by the nose I fear no amount of reasoning with them will work. It will take their leaders standing up and telling them it isn't true, and maybe then they'd listen, but the problem is people like Ford will never, ever correct them because Ford knows he benefits.
I blame Harper for bringing the reform party in, it let them grow and now every Conservative Party has to cater to them
