Prime Minister, this isn’t how we should do things in Canada | Elghawaby

Amira Elghawaby of the NCCM reacting to the Government’s messaging, making three points:

  1. Stoking fear of the “other”;
  2. Pretend to care about Canadians wrongfully imprisoned abroad but do as little as possible to get them released; and,
  3. Act tough on terror.

Similar to other commentary I have already posted.

Hard not to disagree with her conclusion:

The government that says it is committed to protect Canadians is the same one that alienates the very communities it needs to empower and work with. Prime Minister, this shouldn’t be how we do things here.
