Leitch protestors hang banner at constituency office

A banner bearing the names of the six victims killed in the Jan. 29 shooting at a Quebec City mosque was hung from MP Kellie Leitch’s Collingwood constituency office this week.

Wednesday morning commuters couldn’t miss the large banner draped from the building at the busy Highway 26 corner, where Hume Street meets Pretty River Parkway.

The sign calls for Leitch’s resignation and says, “Hate puts us all at risk.”

When asked for a comment, Leitch replied, “Freedom of speech is a Canadian value.”

The banner includes the Not My MP hashtag but those associated with the local sign campaign say they did not hang the banner.
