Const. Matt Rutherford of the Victoria Police Department said they had not received reports of the posters.
B次元官网网址淚 havenB次元官网网址檛 heard of this poster before. I donB次元官网网址檛 think this meets the threshold of a hate crime,B次元官网网址� Rutherford wrote in an email.
BC Transit communication manager Jonathon Dyck said he notified the City of Victoria about the posters. Local governments are responsible for the maintenance of bus stops and shelters, but Dyck said BC Transit will report and follow up with incidents.
B次元官网网址淥ne of the big things we really value at BC Transit is inclusivity and accessibility to transit services,B次元官网网址� Dyck said. B次元官网网址淲e donB次元官网网址檛 condone or accept any type of hate or any type of inappropriate messages at bus stops or anywhere on the transit journey. We want people to feel welcome.B次元官网网址�
