Canada's prime minister and Muslim community representatives have condemned a brutal Islamophobic attack on a Muslim hotel worker in Markham, a city north of Toronto, describing it as one of the most shocking hate-motivated assaults in recent years.
Prime Minister Mark Carney denounced the attack Wednesday, calling it “appalling.”
“The attack on a Muslim man in Markham late last month is appalling,” Carney said on X.
“Acts of violence and Islamophobia have no place in Canada. The authorities have my full support as they work to bring the perpetrator to justice.”
Ontario Premier Doug Ford also called the incident “completely unacceptable.”
