(CBC) Climate change and Islamophobia were key topics Tuesday night for a crowd in downtown Toronto who attended a town hall with federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh.
The town hall, which was hosted by the National Canadian Council of Muslims, touched on a variety of topics — but climate change stood out for some.
“I think it’s all for nothing if we’re choking on our fumes and melting into the abyss, so that’s a key one,” said Zaid Al-Rawni, CEO of non-profit Islamic Relief Canada.
“I’m looking for a political leader that knows that climate change exists,” said Ryerson University student Feaven Abera.
About 200 people came out to hear Singh speak, half filling the Isabel Bader Theatre downtown.
