A Muslim conference has been cancelled after the PQ provincial government objected to the participation of four speakers invited from France.
The conference, entitled Between Heaven and Earth, was to take place at the Palais des congres convention centre in downtown Montreal on September 7 and 8.
About 1,000 to 2,000 people were expected to attend the conference, which the convention centre cancelled Saturday morning due to security concerns after some groups threatened to protest against the event.
It is not clear whether the organizers will now attempt to hold the conference elsewhere. [CTV News] Read more
