The Muslim Advisory Council of Canada demands accountability from the Provincial gov’t over newly appointed Minister of Education @JillDunlop1 labeling students supporting Palestinian rights as “supporting terrorism.” This rhetoric endangers student safety & well-being & equity.

Canada’s commitment to multiculturalism is an example to the world - but as a country, we haven’t always lived up to our ideals. So today, on Canadian Multiculturalism Day, let’s recommit to working together to shape a better tomorrow for everyone.

Premier @fordnation recent attempt to blame immigrants for a shooting is not just harmful, it's dangerous. Scapegoating marginalized communities only fuels division. We must reject this rhetoric and work towards unity and understanding. #apologynecessary

To be violated on an individual’s religious expression, wearing the hijab, is completely unacceptable. We appreciate @OttawaPolice swift response and intent to investigate this as a hate crime. #ottawa #Islamophobia

We are aware of a video that captures a high school student expressing messages of hate targeting minority groups. We condemn these extremely derogatory messages in the strongest of terms. We are engaged with the students school board on next steps and will have more to say soon.
