MP’s riding office vandalized
The riding office of Marc Miller, MP for Ville‑Marie–Le Sud‑Ouest‑Île‑des‑Sœurs and minister for immigration, refugees and citizenship, at street level in a building facing Lionel‑Groulx metro, was vandalized overnight. The words “Marc Miller child killer” are visible in spray paint on the window. Pro‑Palestinian militants are accused, but no one has been arrested. Radio‑Canada goes on to list other incidents blamed on the same elements.

The photo of Lisa Montgomery in the RadioCan article is excellent.

I live nearby; it’s been spray painted a number of times since last October. The child-killer thing specifically isn’t new.

I wonder if they think he’s Jewish.

There’s nothing on Wikipedia or his official page about any religion or cultural background.

He’s Protestant. (Let’s be real about the likelihood of a non-Christian studyng at Brebeuf in the 80s, we could have made an educated guess.)

It’s about his vocal stance re:Israel in the context of the current conflict. Miller and Housefather have been notably vocal. They have a close relationship politically, stemming from sticking up for Quebec anglos federally.

True enough, jeather.

I generally am pro radical protests, but this kind of destruction is just gross. Ethically and tactically, it is a failure. What is the end goal of the people doing this?

See, at some point, this crosses the line from protest to terrorism. Valid protest is putting up a sign, walking with a sign, showing you disagree. But when you get to breaking windows, getting into the office and leaving veiled threats… it’s not protest. And you wonder why we are crossing this line and if foreign governments (Russia, Iran or even Qatar) are involved. We live in a civilized world, we should be able to protest civilly, without having to resort to such tactics.
