Challenged, gym speaks against antisemitism
The Montreal subreddit recently had a story about a man spotted at a Plateau gym wearing Nazi symbols, and brushing off a challenge from the original poster. In the story, the gym did not respond to the OP’s complaint, but CTV now reports that the gym has condemned antisemitism on social media. There’s some discussion in this piece about an impending law against hate symbols, yet how difficult it can be to act on them.

I have to say that the whistle was so dog I had never heard of it as a Nazi phrase. (Not the image, just the phrase.)
But also “please don’t wear Nazi shirts when you return to our gym, which you are welcome to do at any time” is not the strongest condemnation.
