More than 10 election signs in Aurora, Ont. vandalized with hateful graffiti

[canada-man]

Police have confirmed that more than 10 election signs in Aurora, Ont. have been vandalized with hateful graffiti targeting the Jewish community.

The acts of vandalism were discovered around 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, police say.


As the investigation remains ongoing, police have not released further details about the incidents, however at least two Liberal candidates have come forward to say that their signs were targeted.

Tony Van Bynen, candidate for Newmarket-Aurora, posted photographs of some of his signs from St. John’s Sideroad. A swastika along with the word “NAZIS” in capital letters can be seen written in spray paint.

“This morning, I was notified of acts of vandalism to some of my signs,” he said on social media. “I am sorry to members of the Jewish community who had to see these signs along St. John’s. There is absolutely no room for this kind of hatred in our community.”

This should be the most active thread on TERB.

This should have several hundred comments on it by now.

The fact that there are neo-nazis running around painting swastikas and NAZI on election signs in the GTA is deeply disturbing and disgusting.

Is no one else concerned or bothered by this hatred?

The silence is deafening.

I would bet it is a bunch of stupid kids with nothing better to do.

You are not wrong. It is despicable.

History is repeating itself. Antisemitism is growing and the hating ignorant vandals grow bolder and bolder. Antisemitism on university campuses among both students and faculty. Graveyards, synagogues, Holocaust deniers.

These are all predictors of a potential future Holocaust. The more we let it pass, the more likely it will happen again.

It occurs to me that this is more a case of the defacers (let’s stop using the racist term ‘Vandal’) may in fact be calling the candidate and his party Nazis (which is partially accurate in that both are socialist organizations) and not promoting the the Nazi cause.

Yeah.... no.

Of course it is appalling, but what is there to say about it here? I have no doubt a couple of the right wingers on this board are more than capable of being the people behind something like this.

My brain hurts!

That entire region from Oak Ridges to Bradford is troubled. In the 80's it was a bastion of Presbyterian values but since then it has grown too fast. The old guard fears replacement, they have become the minority in certain areas, they are lashing out. Has the lynching of the probably gay young man in Bradford been solved yet? You can't reason with Nazis/Fasci, the best you can do is fit them with concrete shoes.

My bet is anti-maskers.

But it's also funny how often these guys screw up their swastikas.

"Partially Accurate", you say?

Really?

I'm so very sorry your medication isn't working.​

Actually that makes more sense.
