The 2019 Canadian Federal Election is taking place on Monday, October 21, 2019. 

In May 2018, a part in South Pointe, Winnipeg, was named after the founder of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. 

Conservative Member of Parliament Maxime Bernier has recently stirred up controversy on Twitter by stating that the naming of a park in Winnipeg after one of Pakistan's founding leaders, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, was an example of "extreme Liberal multiculuralism."

The Federal Liberal Caucus invited Muslims in their ridings across Canada to a national Eid Al-Fitr celebration at Parliament Hill on June 19th.

Several Muslim Canadians are running for all three major political parties for the 2018 Ontario Provincial Election. 

Muslim Link feels our readers would benefit from learning more about each of these candidates. We have included links to the candidate's websites and social media where available.

In the wake of the news that MP Ahmed Hussen has been appointed to the position of Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Muslim Link reached out to first and second generation Somali Canadians from across the country to get their reflections on what this appointment means for them. While for many Muslims, the appointment of another Muslim to Trudeau’s cabinet is seen as a victory against rising Islamophobia, for Somali Canadians, it means something far greater-hope for a brighter future in Canada.

Recently, amid security concerns and alleged electoral fraud, Afghan men and women stood under pouring rain to cast their ballot in the 2014 presidential elections in Afghanistan.

Many young people were discouraged from voting by family members because of the danger around many polling stations. But regardless, images show long lines winding their way around those areas.

Here in Canada, there are few security concerns or fear of attacks and yet many young people are not turning up at voting stations.  According to Elections Canada, 38.8% of youth between ages 18-24 participated in the federal elections in 2011.
