My latest: about that “hateful” truck

There’s a truck driving around Toronto. It’s getting noticed.

You’ve seen it around, perhaps. Trucks like that are called LED advertising trucks, or digital trucks. They have big, high-definition screens on three sides.

This week, one such truck has been piloted through some of Toronto’s (typically) gridlocked streets. The panels flash these messages: “Is this Lebanon? Is this Yemen? Is this Syria? Is this Iraq?”

It then shows what appears to be Muslims praying at City Hall in Toronto. There are Palestinian flags seen, too.

The truck’s message then reads: “No. This is Canada. Wake up Canada. You are under siege.”

Cue the outrage.
