There's something about it that makes me think it a "to catch a predator" type meeting to out a bunch of white supremacists. Are they really trying to fish for contact information or get them to actually meet in a room? On the telegram link: "Hello everybody, we are encouraged by the response already and hope you can hang in there until we are all comfortable going in person."
The thing is that post was made almost as soon as the group was made, which doesnt even make sense, as no members were added yet.
Smells like fish.
Also curious if there have been other sightings of this flyer, or if it was the only one? If you only post one flyer in an obscure place, it's a lot easier to be the main source of documenting a flyer was posted on social media.
I looked around and all I could find was that one single solitary post/source, uploaded once, and literally zero other sightings/info indicating actual flyers were distributed.

That's more responsible journalism with due diligence. Weird thing is both social media links are basically the same post. The X comment is just someone reposing a screenshot from the Black Vancouver instagram.
On one hand: "CBC News located some of the signs, which had been partially removed, at the Coquitlam Centre, a shopping mall in the Vancouver suburb of Coquitlam, B.C."
On the other: "As soon as it was brought to our attention, bylaw officers immediately searched the area and all bus stops, but no signs were present. Perhaps being removed by someone else," said a joint statement from the city and Mayor Brad West."
The article does have a pic of a difference poster than the black vancouver instagram though. Curious if there's CTV footage to figure out who did this if it was at a shopping mall basically.
This article refers to multiple signs, in two municipalities. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/whites-only-mother-tots-group-condemned-british-columbia-1.6977449
Why is having a telegram with no members suspicious?
Because thats one of the only 2 things the flyer has a link to. It's precisely the sort of thing a person who's trying to create a "face value" seemingly real outrageous flyer would do.
They made the name for the telegram and the email incredibly long and difficult to type out, I am willing to bet the vast majority of people outraged and responding to this post havent taken the 30 seconds to actually go look at the telegram themselves, because its a lot of effort to type out by hand.
But if you do check it out, it looks fake as fuck. It has 2 whole posts of only 1-2 lines each and thats it, its empty and was made about an hour or so before the flyer was "discovered", and has been abandoned since then.
You have to be pretty out to lunch to look at that and conclude "aw yeah this looks super duper real, very legit, definitely was made for a real group by real people that definitely exist" lol
