mail story: So, I fortunately get to go home and see her very, very soon." Monsef made the remarks in response to questions from The Huffington Post Canada Althia Raj during Make It Count, a digital town hall focused on electoral reform, on Thursday, according to Huffington Post Canada. Democratic Institutions Minister Maryam Monsef speaks to Huff Post Canada Althia Raj during a digital town hall on Thursday. I've been on tour for electoral reform consultations while this has all happened and we haven't spent much time together. The controversy began in September after a Globe and Mail story revealed that Monsef was born in Iran — and not Afghanistan, as she previously claimed. After the Globe story was published, the minister said in a statement that she asked her mother why she never told her children they were born in Iran. Monsef, who came to Peterborough, Ont. in 1996 with her family as a refugee, said her mother had always told her she was born in Afghanistan. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
