My reply - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40734834 - here I wrote more detail in a comment higher up that give some credibility to the idea-sentiment, even if factually the Freedom Convoy was never officially classified as terrorists - in short they did [illegaly] have the Emergencies Act invoked against them which gave them perhaps the same or even more powers to be executed against peacefully protesting Canadians [of which even a judge said they could continue their protest in Ottawa itself, where it can't honestly be called an "occupation" that the mob wants to attempt to demonize the largest peaceful protest in Canadian history - as part of Trudeau's effort to guilt by association paint them all as "dirty" Nazis - using the "disgust" tactic on them].

Re: "The Nazis' Big Lie was in the Weimar Republic being illegitimate. (Lying, and then making anyone who corrects the lie out as an enemy of the party was another common tactic.)"

Perhaps the big lie, starts as, that the Freedom Convoy are dirty Nazis - having the leverage and reach, power, of the state-funded media like CBC et al - to propagate and train-teach people to believe that, to then avoid anyone associated with the Freedom Convoy - or

For example, have you heard about the National Citizens' Inquiry and testimonies that have been being collected, on video and published, starting in 2023 and continuing in 2024? These testimonies include whistle blowers from various Canadian government institutions [medical and otherwise] - and also CBC - as well as those who were harmed/permanently injured by the COVID mRNA shots [and gaslit by the government institutions]: https://nationalcitizensinquiry.ca/
