Carney Reflects on Murders of Muslim Family on Fourth Anniversary of Deaths
- Prime Minister Mark Carney commemorated four years since the deadly hate-driven vehicle attack in London, Ontario, in 2021, which claimed the lives of four members of the Afzaal family.
- The attack occurred when Nathaniel Veltman deliberately used a half-ton truck to plow into the family during a peaceful walk on June 6, 2021, leading to his 2023 conviction for terrorism and murder.
- Carney delivered his speech at an Eid al-Adha event in Ottawa organized by the Muslim Association of Canada, taking place amid ongoing initiatives by the Ontario NDP and legislators to combat Islamophobia and enhance community safety.
- Community consultations revealed fears of bullying, harassment, and unsafe conditions for Muslim individuals, prompting calls for stronger protections and meaningful legislative actions to confront hate.
- The anniversary highlighted a commitment to turning grief into action, with political leaders pledging to continue working with Muslim communities toward equity, safety, and confronting Islamophobia across Ontario and Canada.
