Ya’ara Saks won the 2020 York Centre federal by-election as a member of the Liberal Party of Canada. Upon being sworn in as a member of Canada’s House of Commons (along with fellow rookie parliamentarian Marci Ien) it took the number of female MPs in Canada to 100, which, at 30%, is the highest proportion of women in that chamber in its history.
Saks claimed that “honk honk” (a phrase used by convoy supporters in reference to truck horns) was “an acronym for ‘heil Hitler'” in February 2022, when speaking in the House about confirming the Emergencies Act in response to the “Freedom Convoy” protest.
She provided evidence for her claim on Twitter, citing antifascist researcher and organizer Gwen Snyder, who posted a 4chan post that promoted using the claim as a prank — similar to the site’s previous hoax that the “OK” hand gesture was code for “white power”.
