While Canadians ‘can pray differently’ and ‘gather in different places of worship,’ Carney said, ‘all of us must come together around the values of Eid,’ the Islamic festival.
Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney was criticized heavily for recently suggesting that “Muslim values” are “Canadian values,” with many pointing out that Canada is a nation founded by Christians, not Islam.
On June 6, Carney gave a speech in Ottawa at an Eid al-Adha celebration hosted by the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC). Carney, in his speech, said that “the lessons and values of Eid are the same,” adding, “Our Canada is a diverse country, proud home to different beliefs.”
“We can pray differently, we can gather in different places of worship, but all of us come together – all of us must come together – around the values of Eid,” Carney said.

Carney’s words were quickly blasted on social media, with many users pointing out that Canada is not a nation founded on Islam, but rather Christianity.
