PRESS RELEASE: WSO DEEPLY TROUBLED BY ATTACK AT EDMONTON GURDWARA AMID RISING ANTI-SIKH HATE
The World Sikh Organization of Canada (WSO) is deeply troubled by a violent incident this morning at Nanaksar Gurdwara in Edmonton that left two individuals injured and, according to preliminary reports, involved desecration of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
WSO President Danish Singh said:
“We are deeply troubled by what has happened at Nanaksar Gurdwara this morning, but unfortunately we cannot say that we are surprised. We have been warning for quite some time that anti-Sikh hate is rising in Canada and that, if it is allowed to continue unchecked, hateful rhetoric can translate into threats and actual violence.
The Sikh community is being targeted from multiple directions. We are seeing increasingly aggressive far-right and anti-immigrant racism directed at visibly identifiable Sikhs, alongside a sustained campaign of disinformation and vilification originating from India that attempts to portray Canadian Sikhs and Sikh political expression as extremist or dangerous."
WSO calls on the Edmonton Police Service to thoroughly investigate the circumstances of today’s incident, including whether hate or bias played any role, and to ensure appropriate supports are provided to those injured and to the affected Gurdwara community.
WSO also urges federal, provincial and municipal governments to work with Sikh institutions on enhanced security measures for places of worship and to develop a coordinated response to the growing threat of anti-Sikh hate in Canada.

Prime Minister Carney: You can’t sell the Canadian Charter at the bargaining table.
1) Canada must not trade away the Charter and sovereignty for a faster trade reset.
2) Normalization without transparency signals that state-linked violence and interference are “manageable friction.”
3) The real test is accountability: answers and consequences first, deals second.
This is a rule-of-law issue, not a vibe issue. If Canadian officials were presented with evidence that Indian consular staff in Vancouver supplied information tied to the Nijjar assassination, Canada cannot act like this is just another diplomatic dispute to smooth over.
-India denies involvement, but denial is not resolution. Moving ahead without public clarity and credible consequences risks telling Canadians—especially communities who feel targeted—that their safety becomes negotiable when economic upside is big enough.
-The government’s credibility is the stake. A trade-first posture, before Canadians have answers, creates the perception that rights and security can be discounted to unlock a “reset.”
-You can’t reset relations by resetting Canada’s standards: accountability and transparency come first, then trade. @MarkJCarney@CanadianPM@AnitaAnandMP@sukhdhaliwal@MSidhuLiberal@randeepssarai

I'm being told the guy who refused my entry to the 'National Security Conference' is the same as the guy in the video below.
Does it look like he prioritizes Canadians?
🚨🇮🇷🇧🇾🇮🇱 BREAKING: A Belarusian (Zionist) traveller at the Moscow airport met an Iranian child, whose family left due to the Israeli war, and BRUTALLY assaulted him!
The child is in a COMA and has LIFE-THREATENING injuries…
A Hindu man showed respect in his own tradition—and Zionists kicked him like trash. Still, India’s right wing bows to them. If you can watch your own people get humiliated and still cheer for Israel, you’re not loyal—you’re just filled with hate, even for your own.
B.C. Premier David Eby says he will ask Ottawa to designate the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which has been linked to some extortion threats, as a terrorist organization in Canada.

B.C. premier to ask PM to declare India's Bishnoi gang a terrorist group.
Eby says it’s an issue of huge concern in B.C., but also in Alberta and Ontario, where gangs from India are operating.

In the last 72 hours, Israel launched a preemptive strike against Iran when negotiations between Washington and Tehran were still ongoing.
Iran was caught off-guard. But Iran recovered more quickly from its Pearl Harbor moment than Israel expected.
In less than 18 hours after Israel’s surprise attack, Iran responded firing hundreds of ballistic missiles including hypersonic missiles into central Tel Aviv and across Israel.
Meanwhile, Israel's Iron Dome failed. Israeli intelligence failed. Now Netanyahu is pleading with Washington to intervene with American Military Power to rescue Israel from certain defeat; a defeat Netanyahu crafted with encouragement from Washington.
At the same time, Russia, China, Pakistan and most of the Muslim World are rallying to Iran’s defense.
Supplies, equipment and technical assistance are pouring into Iran.
It’s time for a reality check:
Washington burned through $12 trillion in the Middle East since 2003. Result? 7,000 dead Americans. 50,000 wounded, open borders and 100,000 Americans dying yearly from Fentanyl poisoning.
Today, the United States is $37 trillion in debt, a sum that does not include so-called “agency debt.” 77 million Americans voted for President Trump because he promised to end the overseas conflicts and halt the march to WW3.
Trump’s mandate is unchanged: Secure America’s borders, ports and coastal waters. Deport illegal aliens, crush the criminals r-ping and murdering Americans. Restore the rule of law. But not one more drop of American blood for foreign wars.
One Israeli strike on Kharg Island—where 90% of Iran's oil exports flow—or Bandar Abbas terminals, and Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz. That's 20% of global oil supply.
That means disrupted supply chains and runaway inflation. Gas hits $7/gallon overnight. Every working family crushed. Truckers can't deliver food. Economy crashes. For what? So Israel that started this insane war can drag Americans into a wider regional conflict with the potential for nuclear war?
We have 40,000 troops in UAE, Qatar, across the Persian Gulf. They are sitting ducks. Iranian Shahed-136 Drones cost $20,000 each. American Patriot Missiles cost $4 million per interceptor.
Do the math. We will run through our inventory of missiles and go broke while Americans come home in boxes.
The Middle East is on the brink. Here's what Washington must do to defuse conflict:
1. Ask for an Emergency UN Security Council meeting. Ask for an Immediate ceasefire making it clear that Washington opposes the destruction of Iran, Israel and any other state in the Middle East.
2. Demand that Israel stop the killing of Palestinians in Gaza and withdraw its forces from Gaza and the West Bank.
3. Suspend all military aid to Israel until Israel agrees to remove its troops from Gaza and permit humanitarian assistance to reach the people of Gaza.
4. Propose the commitment of Armed Forces from non-aligned nations to police Gaza and the West Bank. 5. Propose that the United States, Russia, China, India and Brazil convene a peace conference to arbitrate the dispute between Israel, Iran and Israel’s neighbors.
I led American Soldiers under fire into action. I've seen plenty of flag-draped coffins. I don’t want to see any more. Washington’s warmongers had 22 years. They failed. They lied.
They profited while America bled. Time's up.
America First means AMERICA FIRST. Not Israel first. Not Ukraine first. Not NATO first. AMERICA FIRST.
Netanyahu’s illegal unilateral attack on Iran risks a full-blown war.
These strikes directly undermine the U.S. diplomatic efforts to address Iran’s nuclear program. Talks were planned for Sunday, but Netanyahu chose to attack.
We must not be dragged into another Netanyahu war.

India was trying to assassinate a Federal Party Leader and MP.
Doesn’t matter what party line you’re on - no Canadian MP should be the subject of an assassination attempt by a foreign government.
All Canadian condemn India for violating Canadian sovereignty.
