Overview
- Video first shared by Juno News and republished by The Post Millennial showed an unidentified man using a megaphone to chant the phrase as marchers passed a downtown Toronto intersection on Sunday.
- Footage from those posts appears to show no attendees stepping in to stop the chant and reports noted the person’s identity and motive remain unknown.
- The videos triggered immediate social media backlash with users framing the chant through longstanding anti‑LGBTQ conspiracy rhetoric about children.
- A fact check by AFP found the circulating clip had been edited and that the Canadian Press livestream of the same parade did not include the chant; Juno News said it removed its post after being contacted.
- The episode echoes past incidents at Pride events and underscores how altered or selectively shared video can escalate political reactions and shape public debate without confirmed sourcing or official comment.
