(Canadian Press) The National Council of Canadian Muslims abruptly cancelled a meeting Monday with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, accusing his government of failing to protect Palestinians or take “tangible action” against hate crimes.
“We no longer think it’s productive to speak with this prime minister,” chief executive Stephen Brown told a news conference.
“There’s nothing new that we could say. We’ve said it all before.”
Trudeau did not address the cancellation directly Monday before question period, confining his comments to the national day of action against Islamophobia. His office later said it had “nothing to add.”
