Your Singhs today - What's going on here?

For over two years now, a bunch o' the boys have been gathering on Tower Road near MacTier, in Georgian Bay Township, in the heart of Ontario's cottage country, for a little target practice. Here are some pictures, screen grabs from a video which has been lighting up the Internet for some time now.

For just about as long, residents of the area, including members of the local snowmobile club, have been complaining to the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) abour "reckless shooters" on their turf.  The MacTier shooters, they say, have shown up every weekend this summer and left behind thousands of bullet holes and spent shell casings. "They think our laws don’t apply to them," one snowmobile club member told the Toronto Sun.

For some reason, the OPP did diddly until Ontario Premier Doug Ford, having seen the videos -- including one posted on the shooters' own social media -- told inquisitive reporters last Thursday, "I am confident the OPP will catch these guys." Et voilà, as surely as day follows night, the coppers announced today the arrest, over the weekend of a a 24-year-old Brampton man named... wait for it... Gurkanwal Singh. 

We don't know if he's the one in the turban, or one of the other bearded gentlemen. The OPP say the investigation is ongoing, but so far Gurkanwal is the only one charged facing charges -- two counts of careless use of a firearm. No information about Mr Singh's nationality or immigration status was released, nor was there any mention of his occupation, although he is thought to be a graduate of the infamous Singh School of Truck Driving.

We also don't know -- and this is the important part -- exactly what it was that the Messrs Singh were shooting at or trying to do. Could it have been a rehearsal for the battle to free Khalistan? Or merely instruction in what to do if surrounded by rival gangs of tow-truck operators or border security agents. See "Your Singhs today (US-Canada border edition)", WWW 3/9/25.

Georgian Bay Township Mayor Peter Koetsier was among the many who voiceed concern over whatever the hell they're doing. "The careless discharge of firearms in populated or shared spaces creates unacceptable risk to residents and visitors, We urge the public to report unsafe behaviour before someone gets seriously hurt."

Tell us, Mister Mayor, what you expect the provincial or federal governments to do? Start rounding up the hundreds of thousands of Sikhs now residing (legally or otherwise) in Canada? Send them all back to the Punjab? Oh my no! That would be racist, wouldn't it...
