    CALGARY — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says anti-refugee graffiti that also calls him a traitor is not indicative of what Canada is all about.
     
    A photo that Global ran of graffiti spray-painted on the side of Wilma Hansen junior high school in Calgary shows the words: "Syrians go home and die."
     
    It also says "Kill the traitor Trudeau."
     

    Global Calgary reported that a viewer had spotted the messages on the weekend.
     
    A tweet from Trudeau on Monday afternoon says: "Canadians have shown the best of our country in welcoming refugees. That spirit won’t be diminished by fear & hate.”

    The walls have been cleaned up.
