I call on @jamiljivani to condemn the very real and current racism, xenophobia and Islamophobia that has been perpetrated and endorsed by a small number of people in his close circle in Bowmanville during the past four weeks. While Mr. Jivani promotes his anti-equity "End Liberal Racism" committee in Ottawa and his "Restore the North" tour across our nation, he has not yet condemned the very real harm that is happening in our town to his constituents and our Muslim and other new Canadian neighbours right now. https://t.co/Sb7reRccJw
‼️Let’s vote out JD Vance’s Republican buddy from Bowmanville–Oshawa North. @jamiljivani isn’t standing up for Canadians. Vote @bgirard_liberal and send a clear message to Trump-style politics — not here, not now, not ever. #NeverPoilievre#NeverVoteConservative#canada #CanadaElection2025 #bowmanville #oshawanorth #ElbowsUp #MarkCarneyForPM
Today, the NCCM team stood by brother Mohsin Bhuiyan in Bowmanville and Clarington, ON after he and other Muslim farmers in the area suffered weeks of harassment, death threats, and other forms of abuse from local white supremacist and Islamophobic groups.
What started as a crude online conspiracy theory about Muslim farmers running slaughterhouses in the area soon evolved into online death threats, in person harassment, and even the presence of drones flying over the properties of Muslim owners in the area.
After prolonged investigations, authorities have long cleared these Muslim farmers of any wrongdoing, but that has not stopped the harassment.
Now, an anti-Muslim rally is planned for tomorrow to further intimidate brother Mohsin and others in the area. Even a local Islamic school has been harassed by drones.
Enough is enough. We will stand by those who have been badly shaken and affected by these utterly ridiculous and dangerous provocations.
We are in touch with the authorities and call on all leaders to denounce this blatant campaign of Islamophobic harassment and intimidation.
Police say 19-year-old Nicholas Bennett will be charged with first-degree m*rder in the death of Const. Marc Pinizzotto, who was k*lled while executing a high-risk search warrant.
Another 19-year-old, Zara Jabbi, remains wanted in connection with the March sh**ting at the U.S. Consulate.
