This was not a protest. It was an act of intimidation, aimed at the Jewish community and, it seems, Christian residents right here in Toronto and at a place of worship.”Bradford thanked Toronto Fire Services for responding quickly and urged anyone who may have information, surveillance footage or dashcam video from the area around Sunrise Avenue and O’Connor Drive to contact authorities.“Fire and hate, together, on a residential street before dawn. That’s meant to frighten people, and everyone in this city should say plainly that it has no place here.”No arrests have been made, and police have not released any suspect information.
