Thx to those who asked about why a separate day to honour Indigenous Veterans… many reasons which are rooted in the reality of our colonial legacy…of exclusion, lack of recognition, unequal treatment & care.

Here’s a good article from @NeetuGarcha: https://t.co/jMp5Lbb440

“The ages most represented among the dead were five to nine-year-olds.”

The explosion of chaos and violence in Brampton, Canada, reportedly linked to Indian government officials operating out of diaspora institutions after India murdered Canadian Sikhs, demonstrates the growing need for urgent, engaged, and effective advocacy again Hindu nationalism.

[Terrill Tailfeathers @Terrilltf]

That’s right. Treaties in Canada were not land surrenders but accepting Treaty provision settlement payouts like “cows and ploughs” and also accepting specific claims payouts only reinforces Canada’s view that they were land surrenders. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

[Sarbjit Kaur @sarbjitkaur1]

What are these people even protesting and supporting? What's their cause? India's right to kill and terrorize Canadian Sikhs? Sikhs were protesting Indian government? What are they protesting or defending? Modi? I see no
Canadian flags here.

@PeelPolice arrest this man first. He's going to get people killed. This is clear incitement to violence. @ChiefNish

How sad for him that he has to learn new skills because he isn’t playing pro hockey anymore after being charged with sexual assault. 🙄

If you live in Barrie, Brampton, Brantford, Cambridge, Chatham-Kent, Clarington, Oakville, Oshawa, Pickering, St. Catherines, Sudbury, or Windsor, you need to be asking why your mayor & councillors feel they are entitled to violate the charter of people in your cities! @OFLabour

Sikhs from across the world are condemning the BBC for continuing to push Indian State propaganda that the #1984SikhGenocide was just "riots".

A BBC article on the topic released during the 40-year anniversary week since tens of thousands of Sikhs were murdered by Hindu mobs...

[Gilly @GillysGuidance]

It was systematic Sikh genocide.

[Gilly @GillysGuidance]

1st November 1984 - The first killing of a Sikh is reported from East Delhi at around 0900. Armed mobs using iron rods, kerosene, petrol and weapons take over the streets of Delhi, launching an indiscriminate massacre on Sikhs. The first targets were Gurdwara’s #NeverForget1984

[Mankamal Singh @MankamalSingh]

🧵REMEMBER REMEMBER THE 1ST OF NOVEMBER

40 years ago every part of what constitutes a state- the government, the political classes, the judiciary, the security services and the media were pitted against the entire Sikh community in a sickening example of collective punishment

PRESS RELEASE: WSO CALLS ON CANADIAN PARLIAMENT TO RECOGNIZE THE 1984 SIKH GENOCIDE

In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the 1984 Sikh Genocide in India, the World Sikh Organization of Canada (WSO) has sent a formal letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, copied to all opposition party leaders, urging the Canadian Parliament to formally recognize the event as a genocide. This call comes amidst recent controversy surrounding Indian transnational repression and foreign interference, which has targeted Sikh activists in Canada. These acts reflect an ongoing culture of impunity in India, where Sikhs continue to face state-sanctioned repression. The WSO has stressed the need for Canada to address these events through a formal recognition of the 1984 Sikh Genocide, linking past impunity to current dangers for Sikh communities worldwide.

In November 1984, tens of thousands of Sikhs across India were killed, rendered refugees, and subjected to extreme violence in state-orchestrated attacks that also targeted Sikh homes, businesses, and gurdwaras. The organizers and perpetrators of these horrific events have yet to be held accountable, perpetuating a culture of impunity. This environment endangers minority communities in India and has recently extended to transnational repression affecting the Sikh diaspora.

There is $3B available to bribe us with our own money, but not to open more hospital beds or train more doctors? Great priorities.

Everyone knows what the KKK is.
It’s is not a “costume” to be dressed as a KKK member— it’s a threat.
This is a GARBAGE apology.

Buried at the very bottom of this story is data that there are only 10 international medical students in all of Canada

What should have been the lede is that Ford used a 10 seat increase in medical students he could have created at any time to fan the anti-immigration mood
