Samer Majzoub, the president and co-founder of Canadian Muslim Forum, a Montreal-based national civic engagement group, said he tried to warn politicians then that when groups are targeted for their skin colour, language, and values, “extremist elements will come out.”
Majzoub said the cross-party condemnation of the white supremacist display in Shawinigan isn’t enough. He wants to see real action
What is the next step after that? What [is the government] going to do? Policy-wise, rhetoric-wise, harmony-wise, inclusion-wise … stopping laws, rules and regulations that clearly are targeting citizens,” he said
