The man who has presented himself as the point of contact for the family of Faisal Hussain is a professional activist who has reportedly committed himself to "framing a new narrative of Muslims in Canada" and creating a "national political movement." It was provided by Mohammed Hashim, a full-time organizer for the Toronto & York Region Labour Council. Social media accounts belonging to Hashim show him heavily involved in supporting NDP candidates both federally and provincially in Ontario. He's also described as a driving force behind the National Council of Canadian Muslims.
