In front of me, Toronto City Hall. Behind me, a billboard truck.
On it are messages paid by a third party advertiser. Canadians opposed to the occupation of our streets and campuses.
The ads on that truck have raised the ire of the censorious left.
Like mayor Olivia Chow, but also new radical censors who support Hamas.
In Trudeau’s Canada, you’re allowed to support terrorism. But you can't criticize it.
🚨BREAKING: Toronto Police investigate Rebel News for hate speech
— Rebel News (@RebelNewsOnline) June 20, 2024
A conviction could see @EzraLevant jailed for two years — please help fight back.
I’ve got some breaking news — it’s another censorship battle, probably our biggest one ever. I need your help to save free speech… pic.twitter.com/ak2b5eX2Kz
In a bizarre turn of events, the Toronto police launched an investigation Thursday into Rebel News, claiming this billboard truck hate speech.
Let me be clear, all incidents of hate are serious. Everyone deserves to feel safe in our great city. The Service is investigating this incident. Anyone with information contact @TorontoPolice or @1800222TIPS to remain anonymous. Hateful behaviour should have no place in Toronto. https://t.co/wlqUvqMMBN

Though the bar to convict someone under s.319 of the Criminal Code is incredibly high, I face the prospects of serving jail time.
But, there is zero chance this billboard comes within a country mile of constituting a hate crime.
What a beautiful truck! https://t.co/JQRGlev6YL. pic.twitter.com/JUa4EBb4ZI

People take out ads like these is because they're tired of being let down by politicians and law enforcement.
Many from the media have also let them down.
Toronto is in decline, and a lot of that decline is attributed to crime. Meanwhile, Toronto's finest remain by the sidelines.
