(CBC) Leaders of Canada’s Muslim community are urging the Ontario government to take immediate action against Islamophobia and adopt measures they’re proposing to get to the root of “systemic discrimination.”
Nadia Hasan, chief operating officer of the National Council of Canadian Muslims, on Monday discussed the release of the Our London Family Act, which includes several proposals to combat racism and discrimination in the wake of last June’s fatal truck attack on a Muslim family in the southwestern Ontario city.
“We need to see action and we need to see it now,” Hasan said at a news conference outside the Ontario Legislature. “As our three parties prepare for a spring election, our call is simple: no more violence.”
