On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

Yesterday, there was a bunch of protests against M-103, a motion by Liberal MP Iqra Khalid of Mississauga targeting Islamophobia as a Problem to be studied and solved to whatever degree possible (along with other forms of bigotry) in several cities across Canada.

What brings me continued hope for the future of Canada is that in every case, opposing rallies were organized and fielded in defence of M-103.

Calgary.
Edmonton.
Regina and Saskatoon.
Winnipeg.
Toronto.
Montréal and Ville de Québec.

I haven't heard of the like in Ottawa-Gatineau, and I don't know whether to be hopeful or worried about that. If you know of similar events elsewhere in Canada, I'd be glad of links to the reports.

Again: counter-protests against bigotry? Cause for hope.

Apparently, it happened at a local masjid. Details, what there are of them for now, here at this CBC report.

I was starting to worry that the like would happen somewhere in Canada. There've been smaller-scale instances of vandalism scattered across the country the last few years...

Note from one angry Canadian: this does NOT get done in our name as a people. We are NOT going to tolerate anyone pulling any attempts at a homegrown Krystallnacht. Absolutely not.
