A Jewish woman says she feels “insecure” in her own city after receiving no response to her repeated calls about antisemitic graffiti spotted at a bus stop Thursday afternoon.
In photos reviewed by CTV News Toronto, Hitler’s name can be seen scrawled over a portion of the bus stop’s sign in all-caps lettering, written in what appears to be black Sharpie at Bathurst and Wilson parkette’s bus stop sign.She said she called 311 immediately to report it, at around 1:47 p.m., but was met with a message to call back later.
She also tried calling the Toronto Transit Commission ’s designated customer complaints line to report it, but said she was waiting for nearly an hour and 15 minutes – and was still not met with any response. “We have already dispatched staff to remove this vile graffiti immediately,” TTC spokesperson Stuart Green told CTV News Toronto in a statement. Just after 5:30 p.m., the transit agency confirmed it was removed.
