@JoeyMannarinoUS Wait people still out here saying Columbus discovered america? Indigenous people lived here in vast cities for Millenia before Columbus arrived
@MaximeBernier So you agree? Mass immigration of Europeans to Canada was a failure.... This is what you mean right? Tbh Europeans did bring diseases that wiped out 90% of the natives here....
If you take an apple tree from Punjab, and plant it in Canada, it's still an apple tree. The environment has changed but the tree still bears apples, regardless of where it is.
This tweet is not about apple trees.
Don't tell me not to speak of my motherland.

@MaximeBernier Kinda like European immigrants going around the world and enforcing their languages and religions on the people there? https://t.co/DNprsdeI5c.
In case you didn't know, Punjab police tortured a 12 year old in 1991 for saying Khalistan Zindabad. Literally just saying the words.
They plucked his eyes from his skull.
For saying words.
This is the reality of what they're down playing.
#PunjabUnderSeige
Imagine if the government switched off the internet throughout Canada. And then started sending the army in to arrest and torture minority activist.
This is happening in Punjab right now.
#punjabundersiege
Population the size of Canada, w/o internet for 3rd day.
5000+ arrested or detained
#AmritpalSingh feared executed, 1000s being tortured.
Sikhs are being hunted in broad day light by India
Why is Twitter banning Sikh activists, journalists,members of parliament @elonmusk?
Just remember we are speaking European languages on native land. They want us to follow rules they didn't follow themselves.
Next time one of these colonizers speaks of issues in Europe, remind them to leave their tribal disputes back in their motherland.
#freeamritpalsingh
When you immigrate to Canada, we Canadians expect you to fully join our society, not just live as a foreigner among us.
That means leaving behind your old political allegiances and tribal conflicts, not try to get us involved in them, and focus on your new home, Canada. Remember: YOU ARE CANADIAN NOW.
@MaximeBernier Ah right and this is why we're all speaking in the native tongue of the land? Why it was okay to speak our languages when we were building the roads and railways and cities?
Euro Canadians have only been on this soil for 150 years. And that was as refugees.
@jpdeol The issue is a state has been locked down, internet blackout with heavy military presence, let's not conflate the issues. A little vandalism is probably the best way for the kaum to vent, because that's what it is, venting
@DavidLammy You speak about the flag and 'vandalism' when a state of over 30 million people, larger than the country of Ireland, had it's internet shut down and military lockdown to arrest activist who so far haven't committed a single crime?
Shut up man
@srinureddy02@TrulyMonica The rig Veda clearly states it? literally the oldest book in the world which speaks of the land. And you're right, the very river India got it's name from ran through Punjab. maybe Punjab is a more appropriate name for the rest of India, rather than that given by the British ๐คฃ
India just proved again it's still a colonial state, doing what the British did to Indians, India is now doing to #punjab again.
Internet blackout
No groups of 4 of more
Military lockdown
We need to realize our enemy is not playing.
