Notching up another win for multiculturalism, Canada is being rocked by violence, even shootings, as Sikh and Hindu immigrants clash. The cause of the violence is a dispute 12,000 km away, on another continent.
Yay, ‘diversity’.
Peel police have issued a public safety alert saying weapons were seen in a demonstration near a Hindu temple in Brampton on Monday night.
Residents were warned to stay away from the demonstration on The Gore Road near Tyler Avenue. The area is close to the Hindu Sabha Mandir temple.
In the alert posted on X, formerly Twitter, police said the weapons were observed within the crowds. Police said its public order unit was deployed in the area.
Feel the vibrant cultural tapestry!
Three men have been charged after violence erupted between groups of protesters at a series of demonstrations in Brampton and Mississauga on Sunday, including outside a Hindu temple and Sikh gurdwara, Peel police say […]
The violence initially broke out at the Hindu Sabha Mandir temple in Brampton, where Indian consular officials were visiting. Officers were dispatched to the property around noon Sunday, police said.
The violence is spreading clear across Canada.
Three people were arrested in Surrey, B.C., on Sunday after “a conflict ensued” outside a Hindu temple, according to RCMP.
Officers were at the Lakshmi Narayan Mandir temple, where Indian consular officials were present, to maintain public safety, police said.
“Hundreds of protesters with opposing views arrived and began demonstrating,” according to police, adding that “violence broke out between groups.”
So, what’s going on? Why Canada?
Just another day in mass immigration.
At the heart of the violence is a long-running Sikh separatist campaign in India. The push for an independent Sikh homeland in northern India, called Khalistan, has been bubbling for decades. It was the motive for the assassination of Indian president Indira Ghandi in 1984, by her Sikh bodyguards. More recently, it’s been blamed for the death of Sikh separatist campaigner Hardeep Singh Nijjar, shot inside his truck outside the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey, BC.
Canadian PM Justin Trudeau accuses the Modi government of India of orchestrating the killing. Nijjar was branded a terrorist by India.
After Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s unprecedented and explosive allegation that the Indian government had a hand in the June killing of Canadian Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Canada found itself at the centre of a geopolitical rift that has affected other international players with ties to India.
India has denied Trudeau’s allegations and since branded Canada a “safe haven for terrorists, extremists” and “anti-India activities.” It also accused Nijjar, who actively supported the push for an independent Sikh state in the Punjab region of India called Khalistan, of leading a militant separatist group. His supporters reject this claim.
It’s no doubt occurred to Good Oil readers that Canada is partner in the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, which includes New Zealand and Australia, while India is a partner in the Quad international security dialogue with Australia and the USA. Australia and New Zealand also have significant Sikh and Hindu immigrant populations, albeit not as huge as Canada’s.
Worryingly, though, we have the same crazy multiculturalism policies that have imported the ethnic violence to Canada.
[Satwinder Bains, the director of the South Asian Studies Institute at the University of the Fraser Valley in BC] says Canada’s focus on multiculturalism rather than assimilation has allowed Sikhs who immigrate here to retain their culture and maintain close ties to relatives and political movements back home, even during times of strife and unrest.
In the case of Sikh separatism, that has, at times, included sending money back home to support more militant arms of the Khalistan movement, she says.
Certainly others of our allies are feeling the heat.
In July, an attack on the Indian consulate in San Francisco, including an arson attempt, prompted the Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans to denounce it as a criminal offence.
In March, the Indian High Commission in London was vandalized by pro-Khalistani demonstrators and the Indian flag was replaced with a Khalistani one.
Perhaps NZ’s ‘countering violent extremism’ ‘experts’ ought to be paying attention? As if. They can’t even see when women are beaten by enraged leftist mobs in the centre of Auckland.
