@JazzTheJourno @GuzKhanOfficial @SikhFedUK That’s fair. Let’s continue to use our influence and contacts in a way that supports and uplifts all our communities.

"CBC has not independently verified the account or the information."

It's in the article itself that none of this is verified, and it's all speculation as investigations are ongoing.

But of course, Shuv won't miss a chance to politicize a tragic death.

This is the same Shuv that has not once talked about Indian State disinfo networks, transnational repression, foreign interference, or state-sponsored terrorism (extortions, arsons, homicides, and other criminal acts) - all of which have been verified by our security and police agencies.

Also, Shuv, Khalistan is not a group like Hamas or IRGC. Looping them in together like this is nonsense on multiple levels.

@sikh_coalition So that’s not an apology @HinduAmerican.

@RamblingSingh Racist, vile, white supremacist losers. This is X now. They are not worth anyone’s attention.

Over 100,000 Sikhs fought in WWI, you ignorant clown. The least you could do is learn some history before spewing your hate. I’ll gladly fund your one-way ticket out of here…pick any place that welcomes stupidity and bigotry as a national sport.

This November marks 41 years since the 1984 Sikh Genocide when targeted violence destroyed lives, families, and communities.

We remember those who were killed, and stand in solidarity with survivors and their families who continue to carry the pain of those days.

Here in Ontario and across Canada, the Sikh community continues to lead with compassion, courage, and sewa: feeding neighbours, uplifting those in need, and building communities where everyone belongs.

As we remember, we commit to confronting injustice in all its forms at home and around the world.

Appreciate they turned off these comments. No one should have to see a positive story about their community, followed by streams of hatred and vitriol. Thank you @WRPSToday

[Waterloo Regional Police @WRPSToday]

This afternoon, we were honoured to attend the Sikh Remembrance Day ceremony today at the military grave of Private Buckam Singh, who fought in France during the first World War.

Private Singh was one of only nine Sikh soldiers allowed to serve with the Canadian Forces in World War One, and his grave is the only military grave in Canada of a Sikh soldier from both World Wars.

Between May and December 2023, researchers found 1,163 posts containing explicitly hateful keywords toward South Asians. During the same period in 2024, that number rose to 16,884 — an increase of more than 1,350 per cent.

Everyone deserves to live without threats to their safety.

I’m asking Prime Minister Carney to list the Lawrence Bishnoi gang as a terrorist group in Canada, which will give police additional tools they need to stop and prevent the extortion of Canadians.

On the anniversary of the 1984 Golden Temple assault, inviting Modi to the G7 is a slap in the face to Canadian Sikhs. NDP calls for the invitation to be rescinded. Canada must stand against foreign interference and violence on our soil. 2/

WSO: The timing of today’s announcement, June 6, is particularly hurtful for Sikhs. It coincides with the commemoration of the 1984 Indian Army assault on Sri Darbar Sahib (Golden Temple) and dozens of other gurdwaras, which left thousands of Sikhs dead. The G7 Summit itself is set to take place just days before the second anniversary of the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar on June 18, 2025.

[Supriya Dwivedi @supriyadwivedi]

chat is it normal to invite the head of a govt alleged to have been involved in the extrajudicial killing a canadian citizen on canadian soil to canada

asking for a diaspora

[Amneezy @amneetbali]

@natnewswatch This is the same Modi Govt that tried to assassinate Carney's political opponent Jagmeet Singh.

Carney should not remain PM if assassination attempts on democratically elected leaders isn't a redline for him.

[Amneezy @amneetbali]

I am so sick of this bullshit.

The relationship is strained because of serious allegations they tried to murder a Federal political leader.

And because they actually did murder a Canadian on Canadian soil.

[Rena Heer @renaheer]

@Vibration2High @bobmackin @JanetBrown980 It’s clear what this objection is actually about. You do you.
