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.

But we ARE under siege by immigrant cultures. Islamic values that are displayed every day in every city in Canada are not compatible with the Western Christian values I was raised on. I don’t have to be a genius to recognize that multiculturalism means my culture becomes less impactful and important in Canada, while immigrant cultures become moreso. I don’t hate the people for that. Nor do I have a solution for the erosion of, essentially, western white Judao-Christian values. Recognizing that things change and accepting that those changes are not all bad is my personal solution.

Haters gonna hate.
Come on Toronto, you’re better than this.
Reading this as an Albertan.
Implying the people of Toronto have anything to do with this. Clearly was reported
Not that I’d advocate violence, but the ‘Toronto I Know’ would have been tossing garbage/pop cans/etc at it.
(No True Scotsman, etc, I understand.)
