Days after a Jewish-owned deli in North York was set on fire in a suspected hate crime, a Toronto deputy mayor and city councillor are calling on the federal government to investigate the incident as a possible act of terrorism.
“We’re trying to emphasize the need to treat what happened here last week as an incredible escalation of what’s happening in the city. An incredible tipping point,” Deputy Mayor Michael Colle said at a news conference Monday alongside Coun. James Pasternak, calling the arson an act of “hideous, targeted intimidation.”
Terrorism? So are 100 torched churches come to think of it. But the law is never applied equally in Canada.
