A B.C. court has acquitted a woman accused of going on a racist tirade against a North Vancouver sushi restaurant owner two years ago.
Sylvia Lynne Taylor was charged with causing a disturbance after a video capturing a part of the August 2022 exchange circulated widely on social media.
Nobu Sushi owner Edward Hur said that the altercation began after he told Taylor not to let her dog pee on the front of his restaurant.
Global’s Aaron McArthur reports.

This content is like a breath of new life!?
This woman's actions are undeniably harmful. It's clear to anyone thinking clearly.
"Obnoxious and deplorable" – That basically describes a large swath of wealthy north van residents. Nice work Sylvia.
let’s be honest here. I don’t think the dog peed in front of the door. I guarantee you the dog didn’t pee right in front of the door. This old man is just old and being annoying. I really don’t think that she took her dog and stopped the dog right in front of the door of this guy’s restaurant and then the dog peed, this old guy over-exaggerated and I do agree with the woman. She probably had to spend a lot of time and money dealing with this nonsense. The store owner should be fined and be forced to pay the woman’s expenses.
Why? Well…don't know but some things out there are just not worth arguing about…?.
If it were someone dropping a duce on the hood of your vehicle whilst preforming an arched handstand well.."maybe" but really? I'd congradulate the individual on their cirque de sole abilites after calling the police..but getting in a foolish argument over a dog letting loose in front of a restaraunt that you don't run and starring on the evening news while going full on karen…
Oh I can feel that age where one best stay at home coming up rather quick too…?.
Hopefully weed is still legal then and cheap…
I really don't like the smell of that crap..but figure come retirement if I live that long..going to need bales of it in order to cope with the insanity of others..
Yeah cause they don't listen to hearsay that is just common sense.
No dog pee…so I guess there will be human pee or feces from now on? ?
Guaranteed the old man was just being cranky. Willing to bet the dog didn’t pee right at the front door. We need to protect our Canadians
There is a thing called vigilante justice! Sylvia can still pay a price…
The personification of animals is the greatest tragedy to mankind. Animals are not people. They will not take you to the doctor when you are old and sick. It's only getting worse.
They just had to get the end in where he’s obviously not fluent. The passive aggressive behaviour in this country is unbelievable lol
I was walking my dog outside an apartment building entrace (the entrance is on a sidewalk) ,my dog started sniffing near the door when some lady came out yelling at me and accusing me of letting my dog pee in front of the door I asked her where's the pee? but she wouldn't believe me and kept yelling ,I walked away ,and yes I was mad.
The marginalized communities are the most racist communities here in Canada. Some are even racist towards members of their own community.
White supremacists ??
The sushi owner wasn't a Japanese, but Chinese.
Probably the owner was a rude person.
F/H
We know the truth?
You did it Karen!
Is there a law defining where dogs can pee? I didn't think so.
She has been in the courts for two years, losing a fortune on legal fees, and he is still not satisfied!
Proud to be white!
Her behaviour was obnoxious and deplorable. The judge said so themself. Yet everyone here is jumping to the conclusion that she's innocent. They just didn't have enough video to convict her. There's a difference.
Don't know all the facts but if she did in fact spit on the owner of this sushi restaurant, isn't that considered assault?
Shes guilty. Nobody makes up a stupid story as this. BUT!!!!! The owners complaining of her of racism is also ridiculous. She most likely complianed of their race not living in Vancouver before her… well that's kinda true. Not her or the restaurant race card, but the Indians were here in Vancouver before anyone. Blame your federal immigrant office if you disagree with too much immigration
