(CBC) An advertising truck that is being investigated by Toronto police, after it was spotted this week driving through the city while displaying anti-Muslim images and messages, is registered under Rebel News Network, a provincial database shows.
A licence plate search through Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation database shows the commercial plate attached to the truck is registered under the name Rebel News Network Ltd. — though the head of that organization says while the truck does belong to the agency, the ad itself was created by a third party.
In a phone interview with CBC News, Rebel News owner Ezra Levant said the ad was created by a group called Canadians Opposed to the Occupation of Our Streets and Campuses. Levant would not divulge the identity of anyone behind the group, nor confirm if it is based in Toronto.
