(CBC) Strengthening street harassment bylaws, improving responses to hate-motivated attacks and calling out racist rhetoric are among the strategies some Edmonton mayoral candidates say they would use to tackle anti-Muslim hate.
Five of the candidates vying for the mayoral seat took part in an online forum Thursday evening set up by the National Council of Canadian Muslims [NCCM].
Moderator Mustafa Farooq questioned Kim Krushell, Mike Nickel, Michael Oshry, Amarjeet Sohi and Diana Steele about their plans to tackle not only hate-motivated attacks, but also public racist sentiments.
There have been several hate-motivated attacks on black and racialized Muslim women this year.
