Islamophobia in Canada[edit]

... that in 2016, the Parliament of Canada passed a motion condemning Islamophobia?

- ALT1:... that in 2016, six Canadian cities signed a charter to fight Islamophobia in Canada? Source: "Calgary among 6 Canadian cities to sign charter against Islamophobia" (Calgary among 6 Canadian cities to sign charter against Islamophobia)
- ALT2:... that the number of Islamophobic incidents in Canada have significantly increased over the past two years? Source: "the National Canadian Council of Muslims reported a significant increase in Islamophobic incidents in the past two years."

5x expanded by Vice regent (talk). Self-nominated at 08:35, 21 February 2017 (UTC).

This article is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. Approving ALT0 and ALT1 as being interesting and having inline citations. ALT2 may be OK but I don't like the "last two years" bit which was true when the comment was written but not necessarily today (in this case the date it was written was Jan 31st 2017 so its probably OK). The article is neutral and Earwig did not throw up anything significant. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:25, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
