@GaundaPunjab@Hamp_Allen@Ethan113554@TimSomerwille Can’t remember which one, but I saw an anti-Sikh sockpuppet account once where the bio described himself as an “ice hockey enthusiast”. These people can’t even do the most basic research of how a Canadian would talk lmao.
@jpdeol@GaundaPunjab@MontyPacific@Ethan113554 Also—one of the biggest tells that an Indian either did not grow up here or is still in India is that they believe normal white people can be made to care about “Khalistanis”.
@justBlakePrice@MikeMartignago Sid’s explanation was that the interview was taped last week so the info was out of date. That could mean genuine progress, but given the interview was taped before Phonzie arrived in camp, I wonder if they just hadn’t agreed on their PR strategy yet.
@DanRussellST No solution. Junior hockey is not like the NCAA with thousands of travelling fans and tons of interested neutrals. No one is showing up to the Memorial Cup unless there is a home team in it.
@RobTheHockeyGuy $44 to sit on a lawn to watch Canada play on a screen. Over $100 if you want the privilege of a seat. Also, in the middle of a weekday and not near any SkyTrain station.
Gee, I Wonder why tickets aren’t selling. Truly a mystery.
@TheSlowBurn It’s six games lol. Most of which don’t involve major footballing countries. I think the biggest surprise of the World Cup for many people is going to be how little they notice it happening.
@sarkonakj Sikhs like my family have been in BC for over 120 years and were British subjects even before that. What does an Albertan know about BC Sikh history? What part of Britain is the last name “Sarkonak” from?
@sarkonakj Anti-British sentiment of course followed the incident because it made clear that Indians were in fact not equal British subjects within the Empire as the British had previously assured them.
@jpdeol These guys are absolute goofs. If the Indian government didn’t try to assassinate them I would’ve assumed they were all on the payroll, but alas…
@alexbrown17 lol I work down there and while I don’t agree with their position, it does not get in the way of anyone. It’s not a traffic blockade. It does not delay me from getting home to my loved ones. Try and be less of a drama queen.
