A Calgary woman running to become a school board trustee says she’s been the victim of racist death threats on Facebook that reference the killing of an anti-fascist protester in the U.S.

“I’m still in shock, for many reasons,” said Nimra Amjad, who is running in the upcoming municipal election to become a school trustee in Ward 3 and 4.

“You don’t expect this kind of thing to happen in Calgary. For it to be so violent and imply death is just something you don’t expect, and I’m still processing that,” she said. “It’s very terrifying.”
