Alberta is home to many Albertans of Muslim faith, who are observing and celebrating the Holy month of Ramadan, a time for self-reflection and spiritual renewal through prayer, fasting and being mindful of doing good for others. It is a glorious and holy time, and reminds all of us of the importance of having empathy and compassion for all.I know Ramadan will be a bit different this year, but we hope you are still able to find joy in your faith and rejoice with those close to you. Our Caucus wishes all those who celebrate all the blessings of this holy month. Ramadan Mubarak.
Above is a Ramadan greeting (2020) by a Canadian politician, called Ms. Rachel Notley (NDP). She was the Alberta Premier. Below is her Eid greeting from 2017.
How sad to see a Western woman of influence without any genuine regard for other women who may be forced to wear the hijab.
Bambi wonders how Muslim Canadian women perceive this? What about those who may be aspiring for freedom in an abusive family environment? Will they feel that the Government is going to support them?
This being said, “Ramadan Karim” to all Bambi’s friends and relatives!
