FRINGE TYPES WHO SAY HE’S PRO-MUSLIM

-

This may be hard for much of Canada to imagine, but there are Albertans who see Jason “Take Off That Niqab” Kenney as a bleeding heart liberal. Kenney’s well-acknowledg­ed specialty is taking conservati­ve politics to rooms full of people in dastaars and hijabs. He’s also trashed right-wing fanatics as “lunatic trolls” and was even a public opponent of U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigratio­n ban against Muslim majority countries. Thus, if you’ve been hitting Facebook a bit too hard lately, you might well wonder why Kenney is currying votes at mosques rather than devising plans to send them back to wherever.
