In Sydney, Australia, an Indian immigrant sexually assaults a young woman on a metro train. When bystanders called him out, he fled the scene. When I was 17 & had to catch the train to the city in Melbourne every week day, I learnt very quickly to never sit next to these men & to get up when they sat next to me. I can’t count the amount of times I was grabbed & groped. And this isn’t the only time in my life this happened. I would never catch public transport, taxis/ Ubers on my own again. Self preservation is NOT racism. Pattern recognition is an essential human survival skill. Trying to silence girls & women that share their experiences & horror stories is ABUSE. Sadly I have lots of horror stories & yes my immigration views are based on my lived experience & what I’ve seen happen around me. 3rd world immigration puts us in danger & Multiculturalism has FAILED.

Today, we remember the Guru Nanak Jahaz tragedy, in which 376 Sikh, Muslim, and Hindu passengers came to Canada seeking opportunity, but were met with exclusion and discrimination. As we honour their memory, we recommit to building a Canada that is fair and inclusive.

And, India is building a few mega data centers near metropolitan areas! What will that mean for the water supply?

“I Shoot. I Done.” The Killing of a Canadian Immigration Officer by Mewa Singh Guru Nanak Jahaz, funded by the Canadian government and supported by several Punjabi immigration consultancies, depicts the 1914 assassination of Canadian immigration officer William C. Hopkinson by Mewa Singh inside the Vancouver courthouse corridor. Mewa Singh, celebrated as a “Canadian shaheed” by some today, was motivated by the Komagata Maru incident, where Canada denied entry to hundreds of his countrymen from India for violating the continuous journey regulation, and by his belief that Hopkinson’s intelligence network was harming the Sikh community. In the film’s portrayal of the killing, Singh empties one pistol into Hopkinson, then continues firing with a second until both weapons are out of ammunition. Hopkinson was unarmed. Singh surrendered on the spot, pleaded guilty, and was hanged in January 1915. Is Mewa Singh a Canadian martyr for assassinating an unarmed Canadian immigration officer inside a courthouse?
