Conservatives try to make in-roads among urban racialized Canadians
OTTAWA — When Pierre Poilievre pitches the Conservative party to Muslim Canadians, he talks about "faith, family and freedom."
He is gaining some traction with his acknowledgment of such worries, but whether he will take action through party policy remains unclear. New Brunswick and Saskatchewan now require parental permission for transgender and nonbinary students to use different names or pronouns at school. Court challenges have ensued, with teachers' unions and provincial child advocates saying the policies put vulnerable students at risk.
He said the party would have to consider "jurisdictions," in the sense of "which level of government is responsible for it" — but ultimately, "I will be making my position clear."His office was also silent in July when a photo circulated online that showed Conservative finance critic and Calgary MP Jasraj Singh Hallan with two men who wore T-shirts that read "leave our kids alone.
Dalia Mohamed, who leads public affairs at the Canadian chapter of the Islamic Society of North America, said her organization has heard from parents who worry their children face pushback when opting out of certain lessons or activities related to LGBTQ+ issues.An audio recording surfaced online in June alleged to be an Edmonton school teacher chastising a Muslim student about missing class to avoid Pride events.
He argued that the "vast majority" of Muslims voted for Brian Mulroney's Progressive Conservatives in the 1980s and early '90s. In 2011, then-immigration minister Jason Kenney brought in a rule requiring Muslim women to remove face coverings, such as niqabs, when swearing the oath during citizenship ceremonies. During the 2015 federal election campaign, the Conservatives asked the Supreme Court to hear a request to appeal a court decision to overturn that policy, and Harper mused about extending it to all public servants.
In a written statement, Genuis said the party's message around lower prices, affordable housing and safer communities is "resonating with Canadians of all walks of life.Poilievre addressed the criticism of the Conservatives' unsuccessful 2015 campaign during last year's leadership race.
In 2017, Poilievre voted alongside other Conservative MPs against a motion from a Liberal MP to condemn Islamophobia, citing concerns it could infringe on free speech. The agency "has been abusing our Muslim charities and the immigration system has been discriminating against our Muslim immigrants," he said in a video shared by the Muslim Association of Canada.
