"Do you support gender diversity?" "Well, our government says if I don't, it's potentially a hate crime/hate speech -- sorta like calling out the genocide in Israel gets termed as such, or questioning the narrative around first nations -- so, uh, yes, I support it, sure whatever, so long as there's no financial commitment involved or followup questions. Let me get back to my life".

As the commenter below demonstrated, there is a growing number of Canadians falling for misinformation.

Bill C-9 was about stopping hateful people from using religion to justify the crimes they had already committed. But the propogandists told them it classified the bible as hate speech.

Clearly they are misappropriating Pro-Palestine censorship in the UK to validate their entitlement to baselessly espouse residential denialism.

Most of my community is Christian/conservative and while I see more people espousing anti-trans views, it's all chronically online people who I know personally stopped forming their own opinions in 2016.

The context behind poll numbers like this is that MAGA is scraping the bottom the barrel. Same total support, but more MAGAs signing up to answer surveys.
