Canadian Intelligence Warned About Climate Conspiracies. This MP Kept Spreading Them.

Theory Briefing

• A CSIS report explicitly warned that climate conspiracy theories were a national security concern, naming the kind of claims Gallant continued to promote.
• Gallant kept spreading climate misinformation even as wildfires burned across Canada, putting her rhetoric in direct tension with the visible crisis.
• The pattern raises a core question: does official intelligence warning change the behavior of elected officials, or does it harden their position?
• The story sits at the intersection of political identity and information resistance — where correcting a belief can reinforce it rather than dislodge it.
