Overview
- Video shows a contractor-operated sidewalk snowplow moving through a pro-Palestinian crowd on University Avenue near Dundas Street.
- Mayor Olivia Chow called the behaviour unacceptable and directed an internal investigation, as the city confirmed the vehicle was on a winter “dry run.”
- Toronto Police say no injuries were reported, no complainants have come forward, and they see no evidence of malicious or criminal intent.
- Contractor A&F Di Carlo says the operator feared for her safety and withdrew slowly, while acknowledging an inappropriate gesture toward protesters.
- Officers interviewed the driver near the scene and allowed her to leave, and the city’s review could assess safety violations and potential penalties.
