Joe Mihevc, who has been helping to organize the campaign, said he has personally dealt with anti-Muslim sentiment in his work trying to bring in a Syrian family. "I had people swearing at us over the phone, saying take my name off your mailing list, I'll never vote for you again," he said. "It a minority, but it out there." Mihevc also said he not worried about any backlash from people who may feel the city is unfairly labelling them as xenophobic. "Some people might get their backs up, but that okay," he said. The campaign runs until July 10 at a cost of $80,000, Mihevc said. About 100 of the ads will be placed in bus shelters across the city. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
