Bernier’s talk of ‘tyranny’ echoes far right militia group’s slogan, say experts
People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier has been using a phrase in speeches and in tweets similar to one used by members of a far-right militia group — some of whom participated in the storming of the Capitol Building in Washington earlier this year.
Experts who monitor online extremism say Bernier’s repeated use of the phrase — “When tyranny becomes law, revolution becomes our duty” — could be interpreted by members of some far-right extremist groups like the Three Percenters as an endorsement.
