Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada on Imamat Day - Aga Khan

Tony Lam's Comments: Doing this will get you funding and a vacation to Aga Khan's private island.

Why does a billionaire who owns an island in the Bahamas need funding from tax paying Canadians to the tune of 47 million in 2016? And $55 million from 2016 to 2020 . This is just as bad as Trudeau's cash for access scandal with the Chinese. Perception is reality.

Welcome to VacationGate. Trudeau loves going on vacations. His first year he had a whopping ten!!

 

Ottawa, Ontario

July 11, 2016

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on the occasion of Imamat Day:

“Today, we join Shia Ismaili Muslims in Canada and around the world to celebrate His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, who on this day in 1957 became Imam—spiritual leader—of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims.

“In the almost 60 years since, the Aga Khan has demonstrated a tireless and admirable dedication to the common good. His achievements and contributions toward improving the lives of some of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people are immeasurable.

“Above all, he has demonstrated the importance of being a good global citizen and the value of helping others, regardless of their origin or religion, to reach their full potential.

“The values promoted by the Aga Khan—pluralism, compassion, inclusion, respect for diversity, and human rights—are those that we as Canadians hold dear, and we are honoured to call him a friend, and to host here in Canada both the Global Centre for Pluralism and the only Islamic Museum in North America—the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto.

“On this day, we thank the Aga Khan for being a true humanitarian, and for inspiring us all to show more kindness and generosity of heart to others.

“Kushiali Mubarak.”

StartFragment

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued the following statement on Imamat Day:

“Shia Ismaili Muslims gather today in Canada and around the world to celebrate the diamond jubilee of their 49th hereditary Imam and spiritual leader, His Highness Prince Karim Aga Khan IV.

“Since becoming Imam in 1957, the Aga Khan has used his role to advance global humanitarian causes, helping to support sustainable development and poverty reduction projects and enhance civil society and education around the world.

“His spirit of cooperation also led the Aga Khan to establish, in 2006, the Global Centre for Pluralism, in partnership with the Government of Canada, and to choose Ottawa as its headquarters. In recognition of his commitment to diversity and pluralism and his many humanitarian efforts on behalf of people around the world, the Government of Canada made His Highness an honorary Canadian citizen in 2009.

“On this day, I invite all Canadians to reflect on the Aga Khan’s example as he continues to inspire us to show compassion towards all those less fortunate than ourselves. To all Ismaili Canadians celebrating the Diamond Jubilee, I wish all of you Khushali Mubarak!”
