Daily Xtra reports: ‘The crudely-drawn graffiti also included the letters “SF.” While it’s unclear what the letters are exactly referring to, it could be a reference to “Stormfront,” one of the most popular white supremacist sites on the internet. Nicki Ward, a director of the Church-Wellesley Neighbourhood Association, says she first saw the graffiti when it was posted online by a passerby. The graffiti was quickly removed by members of the Church-Wellesley Neighbourhood Association with the help of some passing city employees who helped to block traffic.’
