You beat me to it on that last line, but I'll highlight some others [emphasis mine]:

Berry is even more pointed about his concerns in the convoy’s private Facebook group where he and others have shared graphics claiming “the World Health Organization and the United Nations are instructing elementary schools around the world to have pedophilia normalized.”

[…]

Phillips says Sager’s comments point to the influence of “sovereign citizen ideology.”

As soon as I saw the headline, I wondered if Romana Didulo would be mentioned. She's a conspiracy nutbag who declared herself the Queen of Canada and started her cult of followers caravanning back and forth throughout Canada. She's been active since 2020. There's a fascinating look at her org at Vice. She wasn't mentioned in the original article, however.

The QAnonAnonymous podcast just did an episode about this lady too.

Well, if Her Majesty ~~Roman Dildo~~ Romana Didulo I, Queen of Canada, isn't endorsing it, must be fake gnus.
