Immigration Minister Marc Miller's Montreal office vandalized overnight

Montreal police are investigating after a building housing the office of federal MP Marc Miller was vandalized in the Sud-Ouest borough.

Police were called Thursday morning after a passerby noticed smashed windows and pink paint sprayed across the front of the building.

The (SPVM) says the vandalism happened Wednesday night and that it could be linked to the pro-Palestinian demonstrations that took place at the building, located on Saint-Jacques Street, near Atwater Avenue, earlier this week.

They say all vandalism, including property damage in the office, was committed from outside. Vandals wrote «Marc Miller, child killer,» on the building and sidewalk.

Miller's office has regularly seen protests outside in recent months. Pro-Palestinian protesters have been criticizing the federal government for not doing enough to bring in family members of Canadian Palestinians who are currently trapped in Gaza.

The Liberal MP confirmed the vandalism in a post on X Thursday, saying it was «a criminal act, which I absolutely condemn.»

«My teams are safe, they were not injured. That's what matters most,» Miller wrote.

There are no suspects or arrests yet, but a police spokesperson says the incident could be linked to the Israel-Hamas war.

Montreal police have set up a perimeter as investigators look for security camera footage of the incident.
