For Immediate Release
Toronto – Mark Adler, Conservative Party candidate for York Centre, today issued this statement regarding anti-Semitic graffiti in Bathurst Manor, Toronto:
"I am deeply disturbed by the appalling anti-Semitic graffiti in the Bathurst Manor area, which trivializes the Holocaust, denigrates the memory of Holocaust victims, and is highly offensive to the ethnically and religiously diverse members of the Conservative Party.
“Moreover, the timing of this odious graffiti is deplorable as Jews across Canada prepare for Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement and holiest day in the Jewish calendar, during which time Jews strive for personal peace that will help make the world a better place for all.
“I am proud that under the leadership of Prime Minister Stephen Harper Canada has become a world leader in the global fight against anti-Semitism, and a re-elected Conservative Government will continue to combat anti-Semitism in all its forms.”
