Ramadan starts tomorrow and it is nice to see elected leaders embrace, celebrate with, and represent the people they serve.
Wishing a blessed Ramadan to Muslims observing the month at home this year. By coming together virtually, we’ll be able to stay connected and still honour the values at the heart of Islam – compassion, peace, and service to others. Ramadan Mubarak! https://t.co/sJg0aRUP0a pic.twitter.com/Bl2ESHvICH

Today marks the beginning of #Ramadan for Muslims in Canada and around the world. This year, families will gather for Iftar meals virtually. Staying home will help stop the spread of COVID-19 and keep us all safe. Wishing a blessed month to everyone observing! #RamadanMubarak

I bet some of the 130,835 in “Other religions” are Jedi.
