Episode Details

A Facebook post celebrating Edmonton’s youth fellowship program was erased after racist backlash flooded the comments—despite the program’s four-year track record of empowering 20 young leaders across city departments. Fellow Nour Salhi, undeterred, says she’s seen this hate before, especially amid rising political tensions. City officials condemned the remarks, with the premier clarifying support for economic immigration—not open borders. Police are involved, and mental health resources are being offered to the fellows. Mayor Andrew Knack called the comments “abhorrent,” reaffirming Edmonton’s commitment to diversity and the vital work of its young leaders.
