Toronto city staff are removing posters that urged white people “tired of political correctness” and “questioning when immigration will stop” to join an online movement.

City councillor Janet Davis tweeted Monday that staff were also looking into who is behind the posters, which were spotted in her ward.

She said “this hate is unacceptable in our city.”

Photos of the posters circulated on social media, where many denounced them as racist.

Several people on Twitter urged anyone who came across the signs to tear them down.

Toronto police have launched an investigation, and area residents expressed their dismay with the anti-immigration messages.

“What would I say to my child?” one mom asked. “It’s ignorance.”

“(It makes me feel) like we are closing our doors, like we don’t want to be globalized. And we are closed minded,” another woman added.
