The paint was discovered on the monument along the Kichi Zibi Mikan Monday morning. A photo sent to CTV News Ottawa showed the words 'Feed Me' painted on the monument. When CTV News Ottawa cameras arrived at the monument shortly after 9 a.m., tarps covered some of the graffiti and crews were cleaning the monument. Three red paint cans remained at the monument. 'A disgusting and cowardly act — Canada's National Holocaust Monument was defaced overnight,' Melissa Lantsman, Conservative MP and Deputy Leader, said on X. 'Parliament is just steps away — that's where dissent belongs. Defacing sacred ground in honour of the millions of victims of the Holocaust in the middle of the night with spray paint isn't protest, it's vandalism. Someone this pathetic deserves to be identified and held accountable.' National Holocaust Monument Crews remove red paint from the National Holocaust Monument on Monday.
