In today's report, I take you back to British Columbia’s Coquitlam Public Library, the scene where the “Bubble of Love” counter-protest burst into violent anarchy in the name of “love” this past Saturday.

Watch the full, in-depth report to see interviews with citizens both for and against drag queen performances for kids. You’ll also hear the reaction from story time protesters Cory Jenkins and Pierre Barns, who did their best to keep the peace that day — unlike the Coquitlam RCMP.

Despite the violent counter-protest, which included story-time allies assaulting myself and BC producer Matt Brevner, Smudge has been praised as some sort of social justice hero by elected officials and state-preferred media allies. Yet, as you’ll see in this report, story-time protesters and being painted as hateful bigots include members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Unbelievable! The government seized supporters bank accounts & threw Métis grandma Tamara Lich, in jail because truckers honked their horns.

A drag queen organizes a violent protest where even LGBTQ+ members & the press were assaulted and BC Premier @Dave_Eby is all smiles. https://t.co/mAC0Wt5qeB
