Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has again chosen to “divide” the country, by “appointing someone who has made anti-Quebec, anti-Jewish, and anti-police remarks” to the position of Canada’s first Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia, Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre tweeted on Jan. 27 following Trudeau’s announcement a day earlier.
When questioned about the new appointment at a Jan. 27 scrum on Parliament Hill, the prime minister said he expects Amira Elghawaby, described in her biographical note as a human rights advocate and past founding board member of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, to clarify comments she made about Quebecers.
