The **Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN)** is a Canadian nonprofit organization based in Toronto, Ontario.

## History

In a September 9, 2021 interview on CTV News, CAHN deputy director Elizabeth Simons described people "at the heart of" COVID-19 protests in Canada, including "anti-lockdown, anti-mask and anti-vaccine protests," as part of a "far-right," "anti-democratic," and "pro-insurrectionist" movement who hold extreme views on a number of issues.[\[1\]](#fn1)
