🇨🇦 Why Does Canada Give the Kirpan Special Rights the World Doesn’t? Canada bends over backwards for the Kirpan as a 'religious right,' even after repeated tragedies involving blades. But look at reality elsewhere: UAE: Over 40,000 Sikhs live peacefully under a complete Kirpan ban. Australia: Kirpans are banned in schools and many public places. Sikhs adapt without issue. Sikhs successfully follow local laws in dozens of countries with zero special carve-outs. Why does Canada alone keep offering exemptions that put public safety at risk? The same blade culture linked to Henry Nowak’s murder in the UK and Nancy Grewal’s stabbing in Ontario demands honest answers.





Good. They shouldn’t be on any programme spreading their filth.

Farage may well have been outnumbered in the Commons this morning, but outside he speaks for large chunks of the country. 🇬🇧













I'd rather be in a room full of Sikh people than a room full of Reform supporters.





Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary. They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them. They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change. They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that. We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change. Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together. Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for. I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy. That is my focus now.

Kiran Kaur, the mother of Vickrum Digwa was also found guilty yesterday of assisting an offender by removing the weapon from the scene Digwa's father and brother also lied to the police about the stabbings that killed Henry Nowak What a horrible family

On June 8, 2026, I’ll speak on the floor of the House to honor and memorialize the brave crew of the 🇺🇸 USS Liberty who died and were wounded in an unprovoked attack by 🇮🇱 Israel on June 8, 1967. Catch my speech on @cspan.
