Canadians would not stand for such blatant racism. Time and again, they have stood by the Muslim community; most recently with the message "We will not be divided" after the Edmonton terror attack.

Ahmadi Muslims are often not welcomed as part of Muslim umbrella groups, even in Canada.
My Ahmadi Muslim friend and former student shared with me a video of a Pakistani politician who asserted in the National Assembly of Pakistan that Ahmadis should not be admitted into the armed forces, as they could not be trusted.
He claimed that the British and the Israelis created the Ahmadiyya sect to cause division within the Muslim community. Additionally, he argued that the physics centre of a premier Pakistani university should not be named after the only Pakistani Nobel laureate in physics, Dr. Abdus Salam, on account of his Ahmadi faith.
I am not sure why my friend even bothers with such news. After all, having suffered discrimination at work (where his colleagues would not eat with him) and bearing witness to his father's place of work being attacked, he left Pakistan for a peaceful life in Canada.
