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.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Wednesday, Toronto police said the force’s hate crime unit is investigating the truck.
Investigators are asking anyone with information about the truck, or people who have seen it or have video footage or pictures of it, to contact police or Crime Stoppers.
The truck then displays images of what appears to be Muslims praying and protesting in Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto.
Speaking at an unrelated news conference Thursday, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said she has asked other levels of government to join her in condemning the truck’s “very hateful message.”
Amira Elghawaby, Canada’s Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia, said in an interview Wednesday that she was surprised and disappointed when she heard about the truck and believes it should be widely condemned.
