War Memorial Vandalized

[princessjen]

I find this really disgusting. If you dont like our country then leave.

Toronto police are investigating an incident of vandalism at a war memorial that was discovered just hours after Remembrance Day services.
It happened at the Victory Peace war memorial in Coronation Park, at Lake Shore Blvd. and Strachan Ave.
The words “Canada will burn praise Allah” were written in capital letters on a portion of the memorial.
The words appear to have been written in black marker.
The vandalism was noticed late Sunday by a citizen walking through the park.
Police said city officials had been notified, and a worker arrived on the scene late Sunday to clean away the graffiti.
“I think it’s sick,” Gord Pearce, past president and current treasurer of the Royal Canadian Legion #11, told CP24. “Most of the people have died. This is what it’s all about. This is what memorials are there for.”
The bronze monument was constructed in the mid-1990s by sculptor John McEwen.
“It’s stupid vandalism in the sense that anyone who looked at the memorial would have seen it was a specific kind of memorial,” McEwen told CP24 in a telephone interview Sunday evening.
“It recognized the 50th anniversary of the Second World War. The outcome of that war is today’s many languages spoken in Toronto.”
Police said they do not have any suspects, and asked that witnesses call police or Crime Stoppers.

I agree it's disgusting and disturbing. I don't understand people who ruin or vandalize war memorials. There needs to be stricter fines or maybe they need mandatory community service such as volunteering with war vetrans.

Some of these anti war people (notice I said some, not most, not all, just some) confuse memorials to those who served in war, with somehow celebrating war. It's wrong and even if they harbour that viewpoint, vandalizing is wrong and a hallmark of a very immature person.

Then they should treat Canada with the same respect it affords them and stop trying to change it to their liking or destroy it. Idiots are everywhere and in every religion. Enough tip toeing around this.

Nothing wrong with 'brown people', I'm married to a 'brown people' and her ancestors were here long before my mine or yours.
