Richard Stewart, the Mayor of Coquitlam, was also quick to voice his disappointment.
The Mayor took to Facebook, noting not just the “hundreds and thousands [graffiti] costs taxpayers,” but also how saying how “offended and disgusted” he was by the incident.
“On behalf of city council and our residents I condemn this mindless and senseless act, and the hate it is intended to convey,” he writes. “I stand with our local Jewish community, and our residents from every race, creed, and culture in opposing this cowardly act.”
He also stated that police are investigating the incident.
