Young men clutching swords, baseball bats and pieces of lumber are standing guard outside a Sikh gurdwara near Toronto’s Pearson Airport, their eyes scanning the perimeter for signs of trouble in the dark.
Prayers broadcasting from inside the temple mix with Punjabi music blaring from a pick-up truck parked nearby. The mood has been tense ever since the sun set.

As questions loom over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership, a new Nanos Research poll commissioned for CTV News says a quarter of Canadians say none of the potential Liberal leadership candidates appeal to them.
The survey offered people a selection of potential candidates to lead the party, including the current leader, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and a range of cabinet ministers and other high-profile Canadians. Of those polled, most selected “none of the above.”

Canadian public health authorities didn’t have to let the Wuhan Institute of Virology infiltrate and co-opt our country’s highest-security biolab. The warning signs had been there for years, and no one to our knowledge was holding a gun to the heads of the rubber-stampers who authorized a security-threat-flagged scientist’s shipment of live Ebola back to the motherland.

Ottawa has been speaking with like-minded countries about recognizing a Palestinian state, a government official told a committee of parliamentarians studying the quickest path toward such a declaration Thursday afternoon.
“We’re taking notes, we’re talking to each other, we’re weighing the considerations as a group of very like-minded countries,” said Alexandre Lévêque, assistant deputy minister for Europe, the Middle East and Arctic Branch.
Lévêque would not name any of the countries in question, citing the confidential nature of diplomatic conversations.
No one believes a word you say. Everyone knows you lust for the Islamist vote bloc.

A company that belonged to federal Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault said it was Indigenous-owned while bidding on federal contracts.
While Boissonnault, who at the time co-owned Global Health Imports, has said in the past that he is Indigenous, he recently stated publicly that he is white.

Under the Trudeau government of the last nine years, Canada has been locked into an extreme regime of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission controls meant to make Canada a “net-zero” emitter of GHGs by 2050, meaning Canada cannot emit more GHG into the air than Canada’s forests, agriculture and ecosystems draw out of the air on an annual basis.

Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown says he wants city council to pass a bylaw to keep Hindu and Sikh protesters away from each other after violent and raucous protests in the Ontario city.
The municipality’s move comes amid rising concern about foreign interference in Canada and as several other suburban centres impose buffer zones for houses of worship to shield them from heated protests by demonstrators responding to rising geopolitical tensions.
Sikh Canadians are mainstream Canadians. What the hell are you talking about?
You immigrated to Canada recently, spend your time infiltrating the local rightwing media by saying borderline racist stuff, and have zero connection to the country whatsoever.

Former Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan defended the attempted rescue mission of Sikhs during the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan, saying it was part of a government policy of evacuating vulnerable individuals to Canada that had been discussed months before the fall of Kabul.
Sajjan, who is currently minister of emergency preparedness, said during a Nov. 5 appearance before the Commons Defence Committee that the government had planned to evacuate “vulnerable communities” such as women leaders, journalists, LGBTQ2+ individuals, and persecuted religious minorities, “which included Sikhs and Hindus.”

OTTAWA — In an explosive admission, Parliament’s Canada-China Committee has confirmed that Canada’s spy agency, CSIS, issued a direct and unheeded warning to senior health officials in August 2018, raising concerns about “insider threat activities” linked to Dr. Xiangguo Qiu and her husband, Keding Cheng.
This alert, delivered seven months before the couple’s network—connected to the highest levels of Chinese biological weapons research—coordinated the shipment of live Ebola and Henipah virus samples from Canada’s high-security National Microbiology Laboratory to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, highlighted risks posed by their continued access to sensitive materials.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to go public with foreign interference claims against India lies in stark contrast with the way the United States handled similar allegations and could be at the root of violent clashes seen in recent days between Sikh and Hindu crowds in Brampton, Ont., and Surrey, B.C., say India experts.

OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly accused the Conservatives of not supporting Canada’s diplomatic presence in the United States, as they grilled her over the purchase of a $9-million condo for one of its posts.
Joly was called to testify at a parliamentary committee on Tuesday about the government’s decision to buy a new residence for Canada’s consul general in New York on a posh slice of Manhattan real estate known as Billionaires’ Row.

In a testy exchange in the House of Commons on Tuesday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of sowing the “divisions” that led to the violent clash between Sikh separatists and Hindu worshippers outside a Hindu temple in Brampton on the weekend.
The question period exchange kicked off with Trudeau calling Poilievre’s silence on the violence in South Asian communities “deafening.”
Poilievre accused Trudeau of using the issue to distract from domestic economic issues.
