The Canadian Anti-Hate Network analyzed the wave of anti-LGBTQ2S+ social media posts following the tragedy in Tumbler Ridge. On Feb. 10, 2026, a shooter killed eight people and injured 27 others, before taking her own life, in the tiny community of Tumbler Ridge, B.C. She was later identified as 18-year-old Jesse Van Rootselaar, a trans woman. Now a new report from the Canadian Anti-Hate Network is documenting some of the key voices from both media and politics that worked to spread anti-trans fear and misinformation in the days and hours following the attack. According to a previous report from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, there was a significant spike in anti-LGBTQ2S+ online content following the incident, with Canadian users posting more than 10,000 instances of anti-LGBTQ2S+ content the day after the attack, and anti-LGBTQ2S+ posts from domestic extremist accounts seeing a rise of more than 1,000 percent.
