Amira Elghawaby joins Nate to discuss hate and Islamophobia in Canada, and how the federal government should act.

Amira is a journalist, columnist, human rights advocate, board member of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, and she recently served on the Canadian Commission for Democratic Expression, which made recommendations to the government to address hate online.

This conversation was recorded in the wake of the horrific and hate-motivated murder of the Afzaal family in London, Ontario. Since then, our federal government has tabled Bill C-36, an act to address online hate through through a return to a civil remedy in the Canadian Human Rights Act.

The legislation builds on some other significant steps to date, from restoring the anti-racism directorate, to new funding through Heritage Canada to address racism, to adding white nationalist groups to the terror list, and more.
