An alleged threat against a Conservative candidate has left campaign workers fearful in the final days of the federal election campaign.
Cristelle Sary, legal council for Roland Dick, told The Suburban that the candidate began to receive phone calls a week ago from parishioners of the Masjid al Jasr mosque on Cartier boulevard, warning him that a fatwa had been declared against him.
