Montreal bakery vandalised again with anti-tech graffiti

What this story says

  • The Mamie Clafoutis bakery on Saint-Denis Street in Montreal was vandalised for the second time in under three months.
  • Vandals smashed the front windows and left faint graffiti reading “Action anti tech” on the brick wall outside.
  • No outlet reported arrests or identified suspects in the incident.
  • The story was covered by left and centre-rated outlets, but no right-rated outlet ran it.

The Saint-Denis Street location of the Mamie Clafoutis bakery chain in Montreal was vandalised overnight on Wednesday. The front windows were smashed, and faint graffiti reading “Action anti tech” was left on the brick wall outside the store.

This was the second time the bakery had been targeted in less than three months. The first incident occurred earlier this year, though the exact date remains unclear. No arrests have been reported in either case.

What the coverage left out

None of the digests reported any arrests or identified suspects in the vandalism. No right-rated outlet ran the story at all.

How each side covered it

Our own reading of the reporting listed below, written from the outlets’ articles rather than quoted from them. The reasoning is set out on our methodology page.

Left

  • The two left-rated digests, from Global News and the Toronto Star, both noted that this was the second vandalism incident at the bakery in under three months. The Global News digest described the bakery as a “self-serve” location, while the Toronto Star digest included the detail that the graffiti was only faintly visible.

Centre

  • The centre-rated digest from Castanet also reported that this was the second incident at the bakery in less than three months. It described the graffiti as a “faint outline” of the words “Action anti tech” and specified that the vandalism occurred overnight on Wednesday.
