Adnan Shahbaz and Canadian Muslim

: On Friday Sept. 18, in response to the sorely lacking Muslim vote in previous elections, hundreds of Muslims from the GTA convened at the Aga Khan Museum to gain some insight regarding which political party they would vote for in the coming election, according to Rabble. Watch the replay of Young, Canadian and Muslim -- Making Our Ballots Count!. Conservative candidate Karim Jivraj, NDP candidate Andrew Cash, Liberal candidate John McCallum and Green candidate Adnan Shahbaz were asked questions crowd-sourced from Muslim youth on three themes: citizenship and immigration, security and Islamophobia, and inequality and unemployment. Chip in to keep stories like these coming. Moderators Naheed Mustafa and Ginella Massa, both established journalists structured the debate to ask three questions per theme, one of which was selected from tweets with #muslimyouthdb8. Emcee Zaib Sheikh prefaced the debate with clichès about how voting would give a voice to the voiceless. At around 6.45 p.m., the auditorium was alive with chatter. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
