Guest: Omar Mosleh, Edmonton-based reporter for the Star
A wave of terrifying racist attacks in Alberta has the province on edge. The targets have been Muslim women, most of them Black and wearing a hijab. The Muslim community says Islamophobia and anti-Black racism have always been a problem in the province, and the pandemic might have made it worse. The Star's Edmonton-based reporter Omar Mosleh joins "This Matters" to talk about what's going on in and whether it's a snapshot of Canada's larger Islamophobia problem.
