It seems that Arya's liberal party machinery has vacated him from the seat so that Karni can fight election :lol: ....and Karni says he had nothing to do with the matter.

I had thought that in Canada, the party's candidate from a constituency is determined by who wins a primary, and not by the party leadership.

I do not know the innards of the Kanaddian system, but the fact is that Arya is out in Nepean and Karni has been inserted. Please check.

^^I see that Karni has visited the BAPS mandir in Toronto, and also a gurdwara in his Ottawa-area constituency. Do you know anything about this gurdwara? I couldn't find any "khalistan" associations of this gurdwara on the internet.

550,000 turn out for Vaishaki - I don’t find independent corroboration of this number.

https://vancouversun.com/news/enormous- ... meet-singh

“ Surrey’s streets overflowed with colour, music and crowds on Saturday, as one of the world’s largest Sikh festivals returned in full force — and doubled as a campaign stop for federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh.

An estimated 550,000 people gathered for the city’s annual Vaisakhi celebration, which began at 9 a.m. at Gurdwara Dashmesh Darbar. The event marked its 26th year with an energetic parade through Newton, where several streets were closed to accommodate the enormous turnout.”

From elsewhere:

“ Saturday’s event marked the 26th year of Surrey Khalsa Day celebrations. The Vancouver Nagar Kirtan, which took place last weekend, has been held since 1979.

On Saturday morning, organizers of the Vancouver event arrived at the Khalsa Diwan Society to find that the gurdwara had been vandalized with pro-Khalistan and anti-India messages.”

“ Other phrases painted onto the wall included “F**k India” and “Kill Modi,” an apparent reference to India’s prime minister Narendra Modi.

In a statement, the Khalsa Diwan Society said its members had “witnessed” the vandalism.

“A small group of Sikh separatists, advocating for Khalistan, defaced our sacred walls with divisive slogans like ‘Khalistan Zindabad,’” the statement reads.

“This act is part of an ongoing campaign by extremist forces that seek to instill fear and division within the Canadian Sikh community. Their actions undermine the values of inclusivity, respect and mutual support that are foundational to both Sikhism and Canadian society.”


The vandalism occurred Saturday morning, the same day that the largest Vaisakhi parade in the world took place in Surrey.”

On the other hand:

“ Parade organizer Moninder Singh said Vaisakhi has long served as a gathering point not just for Sikhs, but for people across the Lower Mainland and beyond to engage with each other.

This year, he said, the parade also carried a more sombre tone.

He said the Sikh community in the Lower Mainland was particularly concerned about the issue of foreign interference from India, especially after Canadian officials said they found credible information suggesting the Indian government was involved in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Surrey Sikh leader who advocated for a Sikh homeland known as Khalistan.

"This actual parade is dedicated to the memory of [Nijjar]," Singh said.”

Considering 3.7% identify as Indians in Canada which has a population of 41.53 million, this works out to 1.54 million. This article is claiming 550K, i.e. 33% of all the Indo-Canadians taking part!!! What percentage of Indo-Canadians are of Punjabi origin? Is it as large as 33%? Even if they are, all of them should have come to Surrey to participate in this parade.

The total Sikh population of Kanadda is around 800K. So 550K people turning up here, even with non-sikhs, doesn't seem realistic. Maybe 50,000 is the real number based on that aerial pic. This is similar to brampton buffoon Russell Peters' "150,000%" concept.

Terror attack in Canada at a Filipino festival in Vancouver. Canada still searching for a motive lol

At least 11 killed after car driven through Vancouver festival
At least 11 people have been killed after a car was driven into a crowd at a festival in Vancouver, police have confirmed.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said more than 20 people were injured in the incident, which occurred at approximately 20:14 local time on Saturday (03:14 GMT on Sunday).
A 30-year-old male suspect is in custody and the Vancouver Police Department said it was "confident that this incident was not an act of terrorism". An investigation into the incident is ongoing.

Roundup:

Karni wins election, his party is close to full majority and will likely continue the goremint, but may need outside support from either the NDP or the Quebecois.

Polievre loses his own seat. Hagmeet and Khalistanis suffer huge defeat.

As I said earlier, the threats of tariffs and annexation have united the Kanaddus like never before.

Modi saar congratulates Karni and looks forward to working together. The Europeans are mighty pleased at the result.

What is the name and party affiliation of the candidate that defeated Jagmeet Singh in his constituency?

Added: OK, I found the election results site: https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/electio ... 5/results/

Burnaby Central:

LIB Wade Chang - 42.1%
CON James Yan - 38.7%
NDP Jagmeet Singh - 18.1%
PPC Richard Farbridge - 1%


What a glorious day! The man came in a distant third! Not a close second or a distant second. Third! The candidate who came second got more than twice his votes.

Finally some sense has penetrated Canadian skulls.

Added -- IMO, the Canadian voter has overwhelmingly rejected the Jagmeet Singh/NDP style of politics. If only Carney takes that message to heart, then India-Canada relations can be repaired.

From being wiped out to winning and forming the government again. What a phenomenal change in 90 days. I would have preferred Poilievre for India, but at least the idiot Justin is not there. Carney seems to be the most conservative of the liberals. As long as DJT is in power, canada cannot afford pick a fight with China, and India at the same time. We need to see which side he picks.

Liberal Bruce Fanjoy topples Pierre Poilievre in Carleton, which was his constituency for 20 years. Not only he lost a sure shot election for his party which was in the bag less than 90 days ago, but he lost his seat too. Now what will he do with this much mud on his face... :rotfl:

Anti-Hindu parade in Toronto: ‘Will Mark Carney’s Canada be any different from Justin Trudeau’s?

A recent anti-Hindu parade in Toronto, Canada, has sparked concerns about India-Canada ties. The parade, organized by Khalistani supporters, featured effigies of Indian leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and called for the deportation of 800,000 Hindus living in Canada to India. This incident occurred just days after Mark Carney won the federal election in Canada, promising to reset diplomatic ties with India.

Albertha Just OFFICIALLY Announced Separation!



https://calgary.citynews.ca/2025/05/08/ ... eparation/



May 8, 2025

As separatist discontent bubbles up anew in Alberta, experts say a vote to sever ties with Canada would pitch the country into unexplored territory on everything from money to First Nations and national parks.

“You’re in terra incognita. You’re off the map when we get to that stage of the proceedings,” said law professor Eric Adams.

“A lot of things are going to be broken on the way out the door.”

The discontent elbowed its way back into the headlines last week, with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals winning another mandate followed by Premier Danielle Smith’s government introducing a bill that would sharply lower the bar for citizens seeking to trigger provincewide referendums.

The bill would change citizen-initiated referendum rules to require a petition signed by 10 per cent of the eligible voters in a previous general election — down from 20 per cent of total registered voters. Applicants would also get 120 days, rather than 90, to collect the required 177,000 signatures.

Smith says Alberta has no choice but to take steps to combat a decade of hostile federal Liberal policies, which she says have not only taken an unfair share of Alberta’s wealth — but in doing so have also undermined the oil and gas industry that drives its economy.

The Alberta premier has repeatedly said she doesn’t want to separate, but says she needs to respect the voices of Albertans and, should there be enough signatures, has promised to initiate a separation referendum as early as next year.

Adams, a law professor at the University of Alberta with an expertise in constitutional issues, said the Supreme Court of Canada has set loose guidelines on what would happen should a province vote to separate.

Provinces cannot unilaterally separate from the country, and a vote in favour of separation would trigger negotiations with the province, federal government and other groups including First Nations.

And therein lie future questions and disputes.

Ownership over swaths of Crown land, including Alberta’s Banff and Jasper national parks, would be a point of contention, said Allan Hutchinson, professor at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto. He said similar questions were debated before the 1995 referendum in Quebec but never reached a conclusion.

“Maybe the feds will say, ‘We own massive parts, they’re national parks. They’re not yours to give away,'” Hutchinson said. “Maybe they’ll say, ‘Yeah, you can leave, but Alberta is going to turn out to be about a tenth of the size of what you think Alberta is.'
