<\/p>\nPoliticians and residents are calling out messages aimed at Muslims, Indians and Israelis taped to a Brampton home\u2019s door.<\/p>\n
Brampton City Coun. Navjit Kaur Brar, who is running for re-election in the upcoming municipal election, posted a picture of the door on social media this week.<\/p>\n
The glass is plastered with stickers and flyers, including one that shows Brar\u2019s face with an \u201cX\u201d drawn through it and the words \u201cNo Islam.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brar, who isn\u2019t a member of the Islamic faith but the first turban-wearing woman elected to office in Canada, called it \u201cdisheartening to see something like this in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
The door also has anti-Punjabi messaging, and a note that appears to call Israel a \u201cterrorist,\u201d while also, ironically, featuring what appears to be a pro-Christian sticker that reads \u201cGod loves you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cImagine being a volunteer knocking on that door, a mail carrier delivering letters, or someone dropping off a package after a long shift. What message does that door send about whether they are welcome here?\u201d she said in the post.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
But Brar says \u201cone door does not define our city,\u201d and that the messages are not \u201cnot who we are.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe talk a lot about safe streets, but safety isn\u2019t just about crime. It\u2019s also about making sure every neighbour feels safe, respected, and welcome,\u201d she said. \u201cThere are those who want to divide us, to pit us against one another. They want you to believe that your life is harder because of your neighbour, because of where they come from or what they look like. But that\u2019s not who we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ontario PC MPP Graham McGregor, whose campaign sticker is also seen on the door, commented on Brar\u2019s post, and called the messages \u201cdisgusting,\u201d and something that \u201cdoesn\u2019t belong in our city.\u201d<\/p>\n
Former Federal NDP Leader and Brampton politician Jagmeet Singh also weighed in online, saying he was \u201csorry this happened during your campaign my friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think your response is powerful and another reason why we need you to be re-elected to serve the people of Brampton,\u201d Singh said.<\/p>\n
Brar\u2019s council colleague Martin Medeiros applauded her \u201cfor calling it out.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI have had the privilege to serve with you and look forward to continuing to work together to ensure these acts are not accepted or tolerated in Brampton,\u201d Medeiros said.<\/p>\n
Other users posted their thoughts on the messages online, with most supporting Brar\u2019s call for Brampton residents to \u201clook out for our neighbours, support one another, and make everyone feel like they belong.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSeems hypercritical to me especially with the Jesus loves me stickers,\u201d wrote one user.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy so much hate? We have to find a way to come together so that we can address the issues locally and beyond,\u201d wrote another.<\/p>\n
