Today on Bandi Chhor Divas, Sikhs remember the 6th Guru, Guru Hargobind Ji, who fought for the release of political prisoners.
Today and everyday let us work for the liberation of all unjustly incarcerated people.
Happy Bandi Chhor Divas
Sikh communities are gathering across Canada today for Bandi Chhor Divas — a celebration of freedom and justice.
As you come together with family and friends to reflect on the values of service, faith, and generosity, I wish you a wonderful celebration.
I support buying Ontario products and shutting the market to US liquor. But promoting cannabis and boosting liquor sales by reducing prices - as an ER doc - is stupid policy. We have a raging drinking problem Ontario. Let me tell you frankly. @robferguson1 https://t.co/3JThzLNvCU
Thank you Jagmeet!
Canadians are better off because of you.
Under Jagmeet's leadership, New Democrats helped millions of people get dental care, free diabetes medication and birth control, childcare, and anti-scab protection.

I haven't commented on the India Pakistan war because I can't even believe this is happening. Both countries should be focussing on their healthcare, education, infrastructure, improving the lives of citizens. My God.
Anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting @theJagmeetSingh knows he has deep sense of love for people and always puts them first.
From dental care for seniors, to Pharmacare, he’s made life better for countless people.
Thank you for your work for Canadians.
Mr. Singh won't meet the Canadians he helped - advancing the vision of Tommy Douglas. Like an ER doc, most of your best work is for those who'll never know your name. He served our nation faithfully. @theJagmeetSingh@althiaraj

It's been the honour of my life to lead the NDP, and to represent the people of Burnaby Central.
Congratulations to Prime Minister Carney, and to all the other leaders on a hard-fought campaign.
I know this night is disappointing for New Democrats. 🧵
But we are only defeated when we believe those that tell us we can never dream of a better Canada.
I've often spoken of a lesson my mother shared with me: the Sikh teaching of Chardi Kala.
It means “rising spirits." Optimism over struggle.
This is the spirit I carry tonight.
I am disappointed that we could not win more seats.
But I am not disappointed in our movement.
I am hopeful for our Party.
I KNOW that we will always choose hope over fear.
Canadians didn't deserve @theJagmeetSingh. He was the only federal leader that cared about the people and advocated to make healthcare more accessible. Don't worry - he's a lawyer, he'll be well employed.
The fourth issue in our election guide: Accommodation of Sikh Articles of Faith on Worksites.
WSO recommends legislative clarity and nationwide harmonization regarding Sikh religious accommodations in workplaces, including respirator and hardhat exemptions. It proposes an innovation fund for developing safety equipment compatible with Sikh religious requirements and specialized training for Occupational Health & Safety personnel.

@KirkLubimov Nothing wrong with the video if you mention the context of it being recorded during a nagar kirtan (a Sikh parade that follows after proper permits/documentation from the city).
Happy Sikh New Year to the entire Panth!
Today marks the first day of Chet, the first month of the Nanakshahi calendar!
In Canada and around the world, Sikhs are celebrating the 557th year of a revolution founded on love and justice.
May your year be filled with love and spirits remain in Chardi Kala.
