To the executive of NCCM,
It has come to our attention that a tweet that was sent out by your organization on June 28, 2021 was revealed to be incorrect.
Please see reference:
Although the tweet did not specifically say that an incident in Edmonton was a hate crime against the Islamic community, it certainly implies such, and as a result, the response from your followers followed a predictable course.
Reporting on hate crimes is important, but if they are disproved, the report should be removed or amended.
We ask that you amend or remove your tweet.
Fighting hate in all areas of Canadian life is imperative. Propagating hate is counter productive.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Fighting Hate In Canada
