This is a anti-vaccines movement on Canada, which has sparked controversy

According to McKinnon, the media is "trying to paint this [movement] as "anti-vax" and "white supremacist""

However, one of the main ideas supported by the protesters is, in fact, the end of mandatory vaccines and health lockdowns
McKinnon himself has talked about "freedom" and "body sovereignty" to justify his position

Although criticized by some of the protesters, the movement has also received support of extremist, white-supremacism groups
According to Daily Hive, the CEO of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa said “While we are concerned with the small group of agitators displaying the swastika, we are mortified that other protesters allowed it to continue,”

The ideas defended by McKinnon and other protesters go directly against the recommendation of scientific and health authorities, such as the World Health Organization
As of January 2022, more than 5 million people have died from COVID-19, according to the WHO

A huge portion of the MTG community is asking Wizards of the Coast to stop working with McKinnon due to him supporting this type of movement
