Graffiti Found on Downtown Halifax Streets Is a Hate Crime, Police Say

Halifax Regional Police reported that graffiti found on Barrington and South streets on Wednesday constituted a hate-motivated crime.
Police investigated the graffiti after its discovery, and determined it was hate-motivated but did not specify the targeted group.
The graffiti included the message 'surgeries = mutilating', and posters plastered downtown displayed QR codes captioned 'surgery scam' and 'physicians against'.
No arrests have been made in connection with the graffiti, and transgender individuals undergoing gender-affirming surgery are frequently the target of claims alleging harmful procedures.
This incident contributes to ongoing concerns as hate crimes have reportedly been rising in Halifax as of May 21, 2025.
