Toronto Mayor Praises City’s Reputation for ‘Being Inclusive’ Just Hours After Fatal Van Attack

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


John Tory, the mayor of Toronto, came forward just hours after a man driving a rental van purposely drove into pedestrians and killed and injured several and said: I’m so proud our city is diverse and inclusive.

Talk about rubbing the faces of the victims with politically correct nonsense.

Suspect Alex Minassian

Tory spoke of the need to come together as a community while reminding how “inclusive” and “accepting” and “understanding” Toronto is.

This, as police were wiping the streets of blood and bodies and injured victims.

From the Daily Caller News Foundation:

Toronto Mayor John Tory encouraged residents to remember their city’s worldwide reputation for tolerance and inclusiveness — hours after a man mowed down pedestrians with a rental van, killing at least nine people and injuring several more.

“This is a time when this community should come together … I hope that we will, as a city, remind ourselves of the fact that we are admired around the world for being inclusive and for being accepting and understanding and considerate,” Tory said at a news conference on Monday’s attack.

The suspect [Alex Minassian] drove a white Ryder van onto a sidewalk north of downtown Toronto, police said. After smashing into several pedestrians and coming to a stop, the man exited the van and waved a dark object at responding police officers. A brief standoff ensued, but officers were able to detain the suspect without firing any shots.

One suspect is in custody following the incident, which is being treated at a deliberate attack, acting Toronto Police Chief Peter Yuen confirmed. Witnesses described the suspect as being “Middle Eastern” in appearance, but authorities have not said if the attack is tied to Islamic terrorism.

Monday’s incident was reminiscent of an attack in Edmonton, Canada, in September 2017, when a Somali refugee went on a rampage downtown, stabbing a police officer and running over several pedestrians with a stolen truck. The attacker, Abdulahi Hasan Sharif, had an Islamic State flag in his car and was known to police for “espousing extremist ideology.”

He has not been charged with any terrorism offenses.
