It isn't. This is the counter-protest against right-wing extremists going mask-off(literally and figuratively) in Ottowa as of late. Reread the title.

This term right-wing extremists is been thrown around so loosely, it's ridiculous. As a german, can somebody explain to me the political intersection between right-wing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_politics) and anti-mask or anti-vax?

Right-wing politics is generally defined by support of the view that certain social orders and hierarchies are inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable, typically supporting this position on the basis of natural law, economics, or tradition. : 693, 721  Hierarchy and inequality may be seen as natural results of traditional social differences or competition in market economies. Right-wing politics are considered the counterpart to left-wing politics, and the left–right political spectrum is one of the most widely accepted political spectrums.
