In response, the woman launched an expletive-filled rant caught on video telling him in French: “Jews aren’t allowed here” and asking, “Is that a law? Don’t give me that bullsh*t.”Following the initial interaction, the father called the police. The recorded video footage, which was later circulated on social media, showed the woman subsequently returning to confront him, asking, “Are you trying to scare me or something? That’s called intimidation,” and demanding to know his neighborhood.When the father replied that he did not want to interact with her and that the police were on their way, the woman shouted, “Do you think I am not allowed with my dog in this park?”Children play on a slide.

He said he was shocked by the woman’s response and noted that members of the Jewish community were increasingly growing accustomed to daily occurrences of such hatred. Montreal police confirmed to the outlet that they were contacted and were investigating whether charges should be placed against the woman.Following the publication of the video online, social media users identified the woman involved as Montreal interior designer Brigitte Doyon.Follow us on Google
