On March 27, 2026, the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) stated on X:
“Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein war.” Listen to this important statement from Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew regarding how Canada must be unequivocal in our stance against the illegal war in Iran and Lebanon. We must not fight Donald Trump’s war. We must not align with a mockery of international law and human rights.
NCCM shared a video of Wab Kinew’s welcome address at the federal NDP convention:
Earlier today, I wrote a letter to the Prime Minister [Mark Carney] telling him to take action to stop the war in Iran. We have to stop the war in Iran. It is causing a lot of suffering overseas. It is causing a lot of economic pain to working people here in Canada and across North America. And not a single Canadian should ever be put in harm’s way to try and defend Donald Trump’s foolish Iranian war. And I’ll go a step further and I’ll say no American either. No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein war.
