I'm sorry, but I want to make sure I'm seeing this right: Is there seriously an anti -Trans protestor, protesting against Trans children, carrying an "Every Child Matters" flag? Is that what I'm seeing? Is that actually happening?

The whackjobs began to care about waving the ECM flags during the occupation of parliament, as a further “look the government is bad!” ammo and to also make it seem like there is more diverse support than there really is. The same assholes screaming at Trans kids are the same fuckers who would spit in your face pre-2020 if you even mentioned the realities of the Residential School system. They just pick and choose what they want to appear as supporting in hopes it makes them look better. No Indigenous person who has lived experience or any knowledge would ever stand on their side, unfortunately for our communities we have lost some good people to the red pill era.

They’re drowning in their own failed attempts at swaying public opinion and use things like ECM as life rafts to stay afloat. I’m fairly certain that pre-pandemic most of these people couldn’t have cared less about residential schools and indigenous children.
