Conservative Party and Yasmeen Ibrahim

Stephen Harper: Speaking after Stephen Harper event there on Sunday, she told CBC News her party is "pretty diverse" and it unfortunate people suggest it racist, according to CBC. Here a transcript of her conversation, beginning with a discussion of a protester outside the building. In this election, she volunteering with the Conservative Party in her hometown. Yasmeen Ibrahim, 20, is volunteering for the Conservative Party in Sarnia, Ont. Q: On the way in there was somebody holding up a sign that said "A vote for the Conservative Party is a vote for racism." What do you think when you see things like that I find that really silly. She says her party is diverse, although 'everyone is entitled to their own opinions' on wearing niqabs at citizenship ceremonies. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
