Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne's Ditzy, Platitudinous Message to MuslimFest

Oddly enough, Qaradawi website onIslam is probably the only place you'll find it:
“Congratulations on celebrating the festival’s 10th year,” Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said in a support message sent to MuslimFest and cited by OnIslam.net. 
“This festival is an opportunity for Ontarians of all heritages to experience Muslim culture in all its vibrancy.” 
It is also an ideal occasion for the Muslim community to celebrate their identity and achievements, and to strengthen the bonds that keep them together... 
“Ontario greatest strength is our diversity,” said Premier Wynne in her message. 
“We embrace our multiculturalism, strive for authentic dialogue and seek genuine mutual understanding. 
“Today, our diversity is an inspiration to countries around the world," added Premier Wynne.
It sure inspires the likes of, say, Zafar Bangash and that "moderate" Brampton imam who thinks the sharia-decreed punishment of stoning is the way to go if you're a gay or an adulterer (or a gay adulterer?) who wants his soul "purified." 

As for the "bonds that keep them together," one of them is the Muslim Brotherhood (whose motto remains "Allah is our objective; the Prophet is our leader; the Quran is our law; Jihad is our way; dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope." ) You'll forgive me if I don't much feel like celebrating that, Kathleen.
