The following is a list of candidates running in this election who publicly identify as Muslim Canadian.
We have also included whether they support Vote Palestine's Palestine Platform and/or have been endorsed by Canadian Muslim Public Affairs Council (CMPAC)'s MuslimsVote.ca
THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE LIST.
We are adding more candidates daily up until Election Day. Feel free to send us suggestions for other candidates who publicly identify as Muslim to add to the list at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Why does Muslim Link compile lists of Muslim Canadian candidates? Because, it's interesting.
It is a great way to showcase the diversity of Muslims in Canada. Clearly, Muslims do not all think alike nor even agree if we are drawn to campaign for such a wide range of political perspectives.
