EDMONTON - The head of the Alberta Human Rights Commission is refusing to quit despite direction from Justice Minister Tyler Shandro to do so in a controversy surrounding alleged Islamophobic comments.
Collin May has hired lawyer Kathryn Marshall, who tweeted out that May has retained her services and will not be resigning.Earlier this week, Shandro publicly urged May to quit after several Muslim groups called for May to be fired for not following through on a promise to meet with them. May had said in July he would meet with the groups after they expressed concern about what they call Islamophobic comments he made in a book review 13 years ago.
May says he does not hold such anti-Islamic views, and the editors of the book review say the essay makes it clear the offending comments were the views of the book author and not May.
They have human or inhumane rights in Alberta. I think it is the second one.
typical of an Albertan...
Is there verifiable evidence of the racist comments? if so, tylershandro should fire him.
But Christian Nationalists ARE Islamophobic. They don’t even think that there should be ANY human rights. His refusal is confirmation.
‘Islamophobia’ is a meaningless term, created for no other reason than to be used as a sociopolitical cudgel to silence legitimate criticism of a barbaric ideology.
'...May says he does not hold such anti-Islamic views, and the editors of the book review say the essay makes it clear the offending comments were the views of the book author and not May...' Well if he didn't make the offensive comments... 🤔
this is news? No one listens to Shandro.

Alberta in showdown with human rights chief in Islamophobia controversy | Globalnews.caA day after Justice Minister Tyler Shandro publicly directed the head of Alberta's human rights commission to quit, the commissioner's office lobbed the issue back at him. GlobalNational globalnews the person running your Calgary twitter account seems to be deliberately misleading readers. Being told to resign is not an 'issue that can be lobbed'. I don't understand why they have to both-sides hate speech and intolerance like this. Shandro is a disaster wherever he goes. Shandro is a failure and delivers only what a failure can deliver. We should keep voting these incompetent ppl because they are from UCP.

Alberta justice minister asks human rights chief to resign after Islamophobia accusationsJustice Minister Tyler Shandro has asked for the chief of the Alberta Human Rights Commission to resign Fuuuuuuuuuuuck Tyler Shandro. Minister of 'Justice' goes after his own neighbors. So people can’t review a book that is critical of a religion or religious ideology?I assume this goes for all religions now? What are we doing? People in peaceful and prosperous times don't need religion. It's like the Simpsons. Homer: 'please God if you get me out of this I'll do anything ill go to church' *miraculously he is saved* Homer: oh, never mind God, I got this!
