Hawzah News Agency - (Quebec - Canada) - According to the Journal de Montréal, four candidates for Elizabeth May’s Green Party in Québec posted racist, anti-Muslim statements on social media.

The Green Party issued a statement Tuesday night acknowledging it was “recently made aware of Islamophobic social media posts from four candidates“ but noted the party is still standing behind its candidates.

The party noted each candidate will make a “public statement of apology” and said it will review its “internal policies and procedures to find ways that it can better stand against Islamophobia and racism of any sort.”
