anti-islamophobia motion: Muslim Canadians deserve better, according to Huffington Post Canada. Many Canadians might be surprised to learn that back in October, Canada passed an anti-Islamophobia motion by unanimous consent. Both the Liberals and Conservatives treated this important social issue as if it were political football, seeking to gain cheap yardage with seemingly little concern for the lives involved. House of Common petition e411, sponsored by Liberal MP Frank Baylis was the basis for this motion. Instead, it was NDP leader Thomas Mulcair who showed the sensitivity and political resolve to present this motion, and did so successfully on October 26. Sadly, at the time, Liberals didn't have the political courage to propose a motion on Islamophobia before the House.
