Today marks the anniversary of one of the 20th century's worst terrorist atrocities. It was plotted and planned in Canada: the murder of 329 people aboard Air India Flight 182. Meera Nair remembers.
...and Jagmeet Singh still won't decry it as terrorism.
Imagine if this had happened under Trudeau's government - the response would be to prohibit Canadians from flying, and confiscating planes from the airlines. Papa knows best!
One aspect that struck me was how the initial reaction largely portrayed it an Indian event, affecting Indian nationals, not a Canadian event, affecting Canadians. We have progressed somewhat as the Iranian shooting down of a Ukrainian plane was considered a Canadian event, affecting Canadians.
I have noticed more than a few Khalistani flags adorning homes in the Fraser Valley region of Vancouver.
The CCP is very supportive of the Khalistan movement. So is ISI, Pakistani intelligence. Take note of where many of Canada's recent immigrants have come from (mainland China, the Punjab & Pakistan). This isn't a coincidence.
In other words, expect Canadian foreign policy to reflect these immigration trends more and more.
And not a mention of this on the front page of the National Post, the Ottawa Citizen, the Globe and Mail, nor the Toronto Star. The Leaders of Lib NDP and CPC parties have presented very similar messages, Blanchet and May - nada. It is so embarrassing.
Great article but I’m sorry, I do NOT accept that the broader Canadian society has any responsibility for the crime. The segment of Indo-Canadians who supported this atrocity and the folks who knew who was responsible (and let’s face it: many, if not most, in the Sikh community knew who did it and either supported them or lacked the courage to speak up) are to blame, period. End of story.
Who said "the broader Canadian society" has any responsibility for the crime?
And this is a wild claim: ". . . many, if not most, in the Sikh community knew who did it."
I knew who did it - or at least I would have bet my life on the conclusion I reached - the moment I heard the news, in London. That's because I'd been covering the Khalistan movement by then for years, from Canada and India. And I was proved right.
I included a link to a documentary by Terry Miliewski. You should watch it.
Multicultualism means you never actually mentally and emotionally leave your home country when you move to Canada.
This has consequences.

But our cowardly government behaved no better.
As I keep saying on here, we’re not a serious country.
