Des Pardes was/is a khalistani paper.
Killers were never found. One theory was that his paper had named the victim of a rape and the girls family wanted him dead.
This Surrey, BC murder will probably be a case of personal/family vendetta.

They may not realise it but there is a loss of patience with Sikh politics in Canada, especially as Trudeau’s popularity plummets.

Or perhaps they do. Nothing like a besieged mentality in a minority to empower their ‘leaders’.

Too bad. There are many Sikhs who want nothing to do with khalistanis or even gurdwaras now.

In late 1984, at least two informers reported to authorities on the first abortive plot to bomb Air India Flight 182, which flew out of Montreal’s Mirabel International Airport at that time. In August 1984, the known criminal Gerry Boudreault claimed that Talwinder Parmar showed him a suitcase stuffed with $200,000, payment to plant a bomb. He refused to do so.

Then in September, in an attempt to get his sentence for theft and fraud reduced, Harmail Singh Grewal of Vancouver told the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) of the plot to bomb the flight from Montreal.

What did the Canadians do?

They fcuking DISMISSED these two reports pointing to the SAME plot from two UNRELATED sources as UNRELIABLE.

Finally, in early 1985, the CSIS obtained a court order to place Parmar under surveillance for one year. On 09 June 1985, a police informer in Hamilton reported that Parmar and Bagri had visited the Malton Sikh Gurudwara, warning the faithful that “it would be unsafe” to fly Air India.

The CSIS / RCMP couldn’t have asked for any more red flags pointing towards a plot to bomb an Air India flight out of Canada. But nope, nothing was done.

Apparently, James Bartleman, then Director General of the Intelligence & Security Bureau of the CSIS External Affairs Division, told the Air India Commission that he had seen secret info which “indicated that Flight 182 would be targeted.”

Now intelligence cannot get any more pointed than this. But when he brought this same info to the notice of an RCMP official, Bartleman testified that ‘he was met with a hostile reception’.

Mind you, he was a DG in the CSIS!

And then we are to believe it was mere inter agency turf wars at play!

Sorry, I refuse to believe that. Just as I suspect, the 329 departed souls would refuse too.

In his verdict, Justice Josephson cited “unacceptable negligence” by CSIS when hundreds of wiretaps of the suspects were destroyed. Of the 210 wiretaps that were recorded during the months before and after the bombing, 156 were erased.

Amazingly, nay, ‘Funnily’, these tapes continued to be erased even after the terrorists had become the primary suspects in the bombing! Because the original wiretap records were erased, they were inadmissible as evidence in court.

In a lame excuse,CSIS claimed the wiretap recordings contained no relevant information, but an RCMP memo states that “There is a strong likelihood that had CSIS retained the tapes between March and August 1985, that a successful prosecution of at least some of principals in both bombings could have been undertaken.”

This was not the only part of the aviation security lapses by the Canadian law enforcement agencies, Justice Major stated. He referred to one summer employee, Brian Simpson, who ‘boarded Flight 182 at Pearson International Airport in Toronto without detection on the afternoon of June 22, 1985’ and this person ‘had complete access to the aircraft from the cockpit to the equipment at the rear.’

Tragic?

NO.

The saddest part to Major was that during testimonies the ‘government counsel’ tried ‘to discredit this witness.’ Simpson’s evidence, he said, ‘revealed numerous weaknesses in security.’ I think I’ve said enough. Time to stop now, since my blood is still boiling at this wilful murder.

Yes, that’s how I look at it – Wilful.

Wilful, because it could have easily been prevented.
Wilful, because the perps could easily have been convicted.
Wilful, because petty egos, masquerading as ‘turf wars’ caused the loss of 329 souls.

This is a text book definition of State sponsored terrorism.

It is high time we introduce in the UN that Canada be proscribed for being a state that sponsors terror in the same league as Porkistan and erstwhile Libya. It will be defeated off course but a marker will be laid down.

That, unfortunately, rings very true. The Air India terrorist bombing, doesn't invoke much empathy or affinity, considering the majority of victims were Canadian citizens, many of them born in Canada. It is rarely a reference point when the issue of terrorism is brought up. The Canadian media and government are much more likely to mention Hizbol, Hamas, PLO, IRA, Iran, Iraq, Al Qaeda etc, than the Air India bombing. There are honourable exceptions like CBC broadcaster Terry Milewski ( whose book "Blood for Blood" about the Khalistan movement I intend to buy!) and the odd commentator. But it's not part of the consciousness of the average Canadian, and the elite as you put it, must take the major blame for this. Interestingly, there were about 10 Caucasians onboard the doomed flight, we don't hear too much about them or their families. This is likely part of the cover up as well.

Many attendees at Sunday's funeral said they believe Nijjar's death is a result of foreign interference from India.

While police have acknowledged the allegations of interference stemming from the attack, investigators said they have not found such a link to India at this point, and believe there is no danger to the broader Sikh community in Canada.

A report released earlier this month by Canada's national security adviser named India as a major actor in foreign interference — including election meddling and disinformation campaigns on social media.

The Canadians by reducing themselves to such a level have shown themselves to a non serious nation.
