The Ontario Liberals were clearly hoping to tangle the Progressive Conservatives up in knots with a motion condemning Islamophobia, but they may have instead handed PC leader Patrick Brown a real opportunity.
Brown is vowing he will support the motion Thursday calling for the provincial legislature to "condemn all forms of Islamophobia" and will encourage his MPPs to support it too.
"One of the things I love about Ontario is it doesn't matter who you love, where you're born, what the colour of your skin is, what your faith is, you have a home here," Brown told a news conference Tuesday at Queen's Park.
"I hope we're always a province that aggressively opposes any form of hate or discrimination," Brown said, telling reporters he believes that Islamophobia is real.
"I will always stand in opposition to any form of hate," he said. "Right now, the threat of hate crimes targeted towards those of the Muslim faith is an immediate concern."
The motion is similar to one before the House of Commons that is causing controversy within the federal Conservative Party, with some MPs and leadership candidates alleging the motion could stifle freedom of speech.
Despite the similarities between the two cases, neither Brown nor any of his MPPs are making such claims about the provincial Islamophobia motion. The Ontario PCs know they have nothing to gain politically by kicking up a fuss about a few words against religious hatred.
In fact, Brown is seizing the opportunity to try to show that he and his party believe in tolerance.
