Mississauga mayoral debate

Julie, I’m really sorry you are subjected to this ignorance. Questioning MPs about policies is fair. Questioning their loyalty to Canada especially because of their background is unacceptable

Imagine how you would feel if you are being told that your identity is too political. Imagine being told that who you are is divisive.
Holding Jews responsible for everything the Israeli gov does is unacceptable. Equating proud Palestinians/Arabs to Hamas is unacceptable

Last summer’s BC port strikes disrupted our supply chains and our national economy for weeks. No single industrial dispute should ever do that.

We’re launching an Industrial Inquiry to ask the hard questions, to find out what happened and protect our supply chains.

Jews in Canada and around the world are commemorating Passover. I extend my well wishes to my friends and neighbours as they gather to celebrate. I pray for peace during these challenging times

Our institutions should reflect Canada’s diversity. The keffiyah is an important cultural symbol that should be welcomed in all Canadian institutions. An expression of pride in one’s heritage should be celebrated, not stifled.

The same thing applies to Canada and our government is changing that as well. That’s why I was pleased to see additional funding in this week’s budget to advance the High Frequency Rail project connecting Quebec-Montreal-Ottawa-Toronto and other stops in between

Elected reps regularly wear cultural symbols in their legislature. It’s incredibly hurtful to many Canadians to be told that their heritage is controversial. If you think a certain culture makes you uncomfortable, you should look in the mirror and ask yourself why Ted Arnott MPP

Kuffiyahs are part of the culture and identity of hundreds of thousands of Canadians. Trying to ban it is like telling those Canadians that they are second class citizens because of who they are, especially in their own house of democracy. It’s unacceptable

Congratulations to YVR and all those who work there for this recognition

Today was a special day for me personally. My portrait was hung on the wall of ministers at Transport Canada. It’s an honour to have served as the Minister during one of the most consequential periods in modern times. Thank you to Pablo Rodriguez and Arun Thangaraj for hosting me

✅2 units + your primary home
OR
✅A fourplex on your lot

Today’s budget further advances the High Frequency Rail project. This is great news for Canadians and Canadian businesses

Here’s Canada Post latest stamp celebrating Eid. Muslim Canadians are an integral part today’s Canadian identity and have contributed to making Canada one of the best countries in the world. Eid Mubarak 🌙
