Today marks the 37th anniversary of Canada's worst terrorist attack -- the bombing of #AirIndia182 in 1985. All 329 people aboard, predominantly Canadian families, perished. The words of Mark Stagg, who helped pull bodies from the ocean, remain as salient now as then.

#ForeverCanadian never has and never will accept any money from outside of Canada. Our system is set up to reject foreign donations. We fully disclosed and reconciled all of our finances with Elections Alberta. Transparency matters. Canadiens will save Canada. #ableg #cdnpoli

Dear @TheTorontoSun, you keep publishing this and it remains incorrect. Freight transport is not subject to the industrial carbon tax. Also, almost all food processing plants are too small to be covered by industrial carbon pricing.

You'd think this would get old, but laughter always ensues.

I asked the question that should keep Ottawa up at night: Does the potential willingness of a Trump administration to recognize a unilateral declaration of independence — by Quebec or Alberta — matter?

Listened to him weekly with Camp and Kierans on Peter Zowsky’s CBC radio show. Stephen Lewis the most eloquent of the Three Wise Men “We shall not look upon his kind again”

I don't have many heros, but Stephen Lewis was one. His articulate arguments and eloquent anger for justice were so inspiring. He was a good and decent man, who saw injustice and tried to right it.

🙏@TristinHopper for shedding light on the overlooked details & investigative blunders in AI182 that let key perpetrators walk free. The Khalistan movement is a Canadian issue. I’d welcome the opportunity to come on your podcast & share my perspective. open.spotify.com/episode/5AozLI…

Democrats: Please take lessons from Mark Carney. The guy is ice-cold competent and a qualified leader who champions capitalism, trade, and strong alliances and isn’t crusading to use politics to change or shame people’s social mores. Result—Global leadership, domestic approval.

And yet you have the nerve to spend your time here insulting Canadians and this country. The true gall.

Khalistan movement has a bloody record of over 50 years, from 🇮🇳 to 🇨🇦. It claimed over 21,000 lives in 🇮🇳 (more than 5 deaths a day for over a decade), devastated Punjab’s once-prosperous economy, & in 🇨🇦 culminated in the murder of 331 people in the Air India Kanishka bombing. There is nothing ‘peaceful’ about that, least of all for Canadians, who paid the highest price in the West. The article conveniently jumps to Operation Blue Star without acknowledging what led up to it, or what followed. @WinStarWilhelm, listen to this 28 July 1984 video from WSO’s inauguration, calling for revenge months before the anti-Sikh violence in Delhi. This video went into official evidence for one of the suspects of the Kanishka Bombings. The proposed Khalistan map excludes even an inch of Pakistan, despite Pakistan receiving the larger share of Punjab during partition. More strikingly, under that very map, Sikhs would still be a minority. @TheWindsorStar windsorstar.com/news/local-new…

From @ShashiTharoor: "Yes, Gandhi taught us the power of moral witness. Yes, Nehru spoke of international law as the foundation of peace. But both also understood the the imperatives of national interest. Their legacy is not one of rigid dogma, but of wise adaptation."

Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar and his uncle C. V. Raman form a rare Nobel legacy in one family. Raman won the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physics for discovering the Raman Effect, and Chandrasekhar followed decades later with the 1983 Nobel Prize for his profound work on the structure and evolution of stars.

Thank you Meera, for once again highlighting the Canadian discourse! 'Even in 2024, in its 40th year anniversary publication, CSIS could not bring itself to be transparent about who brought down the plane and the failings of CSIS to prevent the bombing. Instead, they wrote: “In 1985, Canada-based extremists planted and detonated a bomb on Air India Flight 182, killing all 329 people onboard, the majority being Canadian.'

@WaliRuchi And thank you @WaliRuchi for your courage and ongoing work to resuscitate the truth of what happened forty+ years ago.

"For a remarkably sensible assessment of the media’s handing of Khalistani movement that exists nowhere in India but is solidly entrenched in Canada, I highly recommend my friend Meera Nair’s inquiry ... " june231985.wordpress.com/2026/03/12/for… Thank you @TerryGlavin!
