Tensions build in Toronto ahead of public debate against anti-masker Chris Sky July 9, 2021,
"As members of the downtown Chinatown and Kensington community, we are deeply concerned that an event has been planned for this Saturday, July 10th, platforming a known racist anti-vax public figure in the Chinatown Anti-Displacement Garden, located in the courtyard of the Chinatown Centre on Spadina Ave.," reads a message distributed by the Friends of Kensington Market (FOTM) on Friday.
Calling Sky a "known agitator from anti-mask, anti-lockdown, and anti-vax rallies across the country," the group points out that Sky was recently arrested and criminally charged for allegedly uttering death threats, assaulting a peace officer with a weapon, and the dangerous operation of a vehicle.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the 37-year-old public figure's legal troubles: He's been arrested and charged multiple times since the pandemic hit for violating the federal quarantine act and causing disturbances, among other things.
