Residents are breathing a sigh of relief after some racist posters and stickers, which appear to be promoting white supremacy, were quickly removed by concerned citizens.

Officers of 11 Division are investigating a number of posters and stickers promoting white nationalism which were found in the Dundas St. W. and Royal York Rd. area on the weekend.

The posters, which angered many, was aimed at white people, and contained messages such as: “Never apologise for being white,” and “There is a war on whites” and “It’s okay to be white.”

The stickers said: “Think Green Buy Local,” and included a website address for a Canadian white nationalist movement.

The materials were deemed racist by many irate residents of the area.

One area resident said he saw about 25 stickers on a Bloor St. W. pole and began removing them.

Councillor Mark Grimes said his office reported the posters and stickers to city staff for removal as soon as possible. His officials have been in touch with police.

Anyone with information on the hate posters are asked to call police at 416-808-1100 or at CrimeStoppers to remain anonymous.
