Amira Elghawaby, Fighting Islamophobia, and McGill Encampments

The Midnight Choir

This week, Chris and Isaac invited Amira Elghawaby, Canada's Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia. They talk about being Muslim in Canada, the impact of 9/11 on Canadian Muslims, and her response to the controversy of her nomination in Quebec. Finally, they discuss the McGill encampments protesting Israel's war in Gaza. They even talk about the Canadian Convoy Protests and whether or not we came down too hard on them.

In times like these, this is an important conversation to have. We all have a responsibility to learn more and confront our blind spots, and discussion is welcome on The Rover's platforms. But please, be kind in the comments.
