University of Alberta removes ‘disturbing’ racist posters from campus
EDMONTON — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is adding his voice to growing condemnation of racist posters that were put up at the University of Alberta targeting turban-wearing Sikhs.
“We’re proud of the enormous contributions Sikhs make to this country everyday,” Trudeau wrote Tuesday on Twitter.
The university said it removed 12 of the posters found on the campus on Monday, including one at the university’s main library.
The posters feature a picture of a Sikh man, profanity about turbans and a statement calling on people from third-world cultures to leave Canada.
