Good morning, I would like to share some thoughts on racism and white supremacy and how BIPOC are forced to endure it in little ways every day, because the killing of a black man by a white cop is easy to call wrong, but for many it’s more like death by a thousand paper cuts...
After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump

We need to stand to #ProtectOurCharities.
Whether it’s a charity distributing zakat, or a church sheltering the needy, or a gurduwara giving langar, or a soup kitchen helping the homeless, now is the time to support the charitable sector in Canada.
3 years ago, 6 people were killed & 19 wounded in a terrorist attack at the Islamic Cultural Centre in Quebec City.

Freedom of religion is not simply a Canadian or Western value - it is a fundamental human right!
The free expression of this right is a hallmark of who we are as Canadians.
Here in Canada, we celebrate that our diversity is one of the greatest sources of our strength.

This weekend, at @muslimfest , Garvey appeared again to heckle families and festival goers.
Let’s be clear: our community won’t be intimidated.
Exhibit A: two people who took the time to stand up for our indigenous brothers and sisters in the face of racism.

(Thread) Canadians are beautiful and ethical people, but there are folks who make Canada a little less beautiful.
And Stephen Garvey, an Islamophobe whose modus operandi appears to be intimidating children, is an embodiment of the above. (1/6)
