Ottawa anti-immigration poster campaign grows as police say materials are not hate crimes.
For weeks now, posters and stickers for the Dominion Society of Canada have been appearing across Ottawa.
The group is an anti-immigration organization calling for mass deportations of millions of people, and its recruitment material has been drawing complaints of racism and white nationalism from residents who keep finding it in their neighbourhoods.
The Ottawa Police Service has been looking into the materials. According to CBC News reporting, police say what has been reported to them so far does not constitute a hate crime.
That distinction matters, because Canadian hate-crime provisions set a specific legal threshold — offensive or discriminatory speech on its own does not automatically meet it. Police have not said anything that would stop the group from continuing.
The Dominion Society of Canada, for its part, has no intention of stopping. The group’s chair and founder told CBC the campaign is “only the beginning” and that Ottawans should “brace themselves.”[1]
