The swastikas first appeared last June on Meddah’s property in St-Barnabe-Sud, a community of roughly 1,000 people northeast of Montreal, following a dispute with the municipality over an inspection of his home. They were covered up following a court injunction, but they reappeared last November along with an image of the face of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un superimposed on the body of Adolf Hitler giving the Nazi salute. They have remained in place since then, along with a website detailing Meddah’s grievances against the municipality, despite the court granting a further injunction ordering them removed. A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for April 24, at which point the court could order the removal of the signs. transmission or republication strictly prohibited This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.
