1/3. Last week, a young #Muslim woman had a knife pulled on her in the #Toronto subway.

A man approached her and peppered her with questions about her religion. Then pulled out a large knife. She ran for her life and escaped.
2/3. We urge the police to apprehend the suspect and investigate this as a hate-motivated crime. We must look out for one another as #Islamophobic hate crimes rise in #Canada.
3/3. Please read about this incident in detail, along with our comment, in our press release.

Please share this story widely.

1/7. NCCM and the CCLA (@cancivlib), alongside allies, are at the #Quebec Court of Appeal today to challenge #Bill21, the law that bars certain public servants from wearing religious symbols at work.

It must be struck down!
2/7. This law has demonstrated that as of right now, minorities in this country effectively don’t have rights. They only have permissions. Our government can take away our rights without any justification.
3/7. Bill 21 has devolved Quebec’s religious minorities into second-class citizens.

It must be repealed. #Bill21

Let's call @PierrePoilievre's statement what it is: an attempt to misrepresent what actually happened. The truth about Islamophobia matters - after the London terror attack, after the Quebec City Mosque attack, after the IMO attack. Let's clarify the record.
We remind @PierrePoilievre how the Federal Court of Appeal ruled against his former boss: "the change in policy applicable to women who wear the niqab, that requires them to unveil to take the oath of citizenship, was unlawful."
Harper knew his proposal amounted to a "niqab ban." He got taken to court by a niqab-wearing woman named Zunera Ishaq. She took on your boss (a non-citizen against a government) against all odds, and we stood with her, and she won.

1/8. Justin Trudeau just invoked the #EmergenciesAct for the first time ever. What does that mean? An explainer. 🧵👇 #cdnpoli #FreedomConvoy2022
2/8. Trudeau wants to crack down on the anti-mandate convoys across Canada, particularly in #Ottawa. The Act enables a wide range of powers, from removing trucks to freezing funds. Here are some of the central ones:
3/8. Power 1: Enable RCMP to enforce both provincial offenses and municipal bylaws. This is to help overwhelmed local police.

The govt’s Dec 2018 report on terror threats in Canada used dangerous & unsubstantiated language about Muslim and Sikh communities, and severely downplayed the threat of far-right extremism. @nccm @iclmg @WorldSikhOrg & others called on Min. @RalphGoodale to address this.
@nccm wrote to Minister Goodale & secured a meeting to discuss our concerns. His office released a statement indicating that a review of the language was underway. canada.ca/en/public-safe…
