(CBC) The Toronto police hate crimes unit is investigating after video surfaced online of a mobile advertising truck displaying anti-Muslim digital images and messages.
In videos posted to social media, the truck appears to display a series of questions that say: “Is this Lebanon? Is this Yemen? Is this Syria? Is this Iraq?”
The truck then displays images of what appears to be Muslims praying and protesting in Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto. Palestinian flags and the square’s concrete arches are visible in the images.
The messages on the truck then say: “No. This is Canada. Wake up Canada. You are under siege.”
The lettering is in blue on a white background and clearly visible from several metres away.
