Your Sikhs today: Diversity Truck Lines in $98 million drug bust

Before Walt answers the question "How do you know they're Sikhs?", let's read the entire story as it was reported today by one of Canada's top three agencies of the lickspittle media. [He means CTV News. Ed.]

A cross-border investigation involving police and border agencies in Canada and the U.S. has resulted in the seizure of nearly 1.7 tonnes [3.74 tons] of illegal drugs. Authorities are calling "Project Bay" one of Ontario’s largest single-investigation drug busts. The estimated street value of the drugs seized is more than $139 million [$98 million in real money].

According to police, the investigation targeted the importation and trafficking of illegal drugs linked to the Canada-U.S. border. The investigation started in January 2025 when police in Windsor ON launched a drug-trafficking probe. A month later, the Canada Border Services Agency joined the investigation as officers worked to identify a cross-border trafficking network.

Authorities said the investigation uncovered a broker-style operation within the commercial trucking industry that allegedly exploited established transportation networks to move illegal drugs across the border. Investigators allege the operation arranged for drivers to knowingly transport illicit substances through legitimate supply chains.

Police said the investigation also relied on support from several law enforcement partners. U.S. Homeland Security Investigations and the Drug Enforcement Administration assisted with the international aspects of the case, while Toronto police and Peel Regional Police provided operational and investigative support.

On June 25, investigators used 18 search warrants at homes and businesses in Windsor, Corunna, LaSalle, Brampton and Kleinburg. On July 14, two search warrants were used in Markham and Caledon, and on July 20, two search warrants were used in Brampton.

Considering that the CTV version doesn't list any names or other information which would identify the accused, I hear you asking: How do I know there are Sikhs involved? I've highlighted the clues contained in the text. 

Are you still doubtful? OK, here the list of those charged, taken from the addendum to the police statement. (Two persons charged are "unnamed", as they haven't been arrested yet.) 

Gagandip THINDAL, 27, Brampton, ON - 10 charges

Simranjit SINGH, 32, Brampton, ON - 12 charges

Kanwarpal KULAR, 32, LaSalle, ON - 2 charges

Jatinderpal SINGH, 39, Brampton, ON - 2 charges

Jasvinder SOHI, 55, Brampton, ON - 2 charges

Tejwinder SANDHU, 29, Brampton, ON - 2 charges

Harjwinder SANDHU, 33, Kitchener, ON - 2 charges

Haninderpal GREWAL, 34, Barrie, ON - 4 charges

Tarminder SINGH, 19, Brampton, ON - 9 charges

Steven SCUSSOLIN, 32, Windsor, ON - 2 charges

Avtar SAHOTA, 54, Shelburne, ON - 2 charges

Mohamed BINHASSAN, 41, Toronto, ON - 2 charges

Michele MOSCONE, 28, Windsor, ON - 26(!) charges

Gundeep TALIWAL, 32, Brampton, ON - 4 charges

Shawn BATTE, 44, Corunna, ON - 1 charge

Zain KHAWAJA, 28, Windsor, ON - 1 charge

Villy SCHWARTZ, 30, Markham, ON - 1 charge

Mehakpreet SINGH, 24, Brampton, ON - 8 charges

Karandeep SINGH, 27, Brampton, ON - 6 charges

I don't know how that "Schwartz" got in there, but of the 19 named accused we have... let's see... 5 "Singh"s, 2 "Sandhu"s and a "Grewal" (whose middle names are undoubtedly "Singh"), and 4 others with "South Asian" names who may or may not be "Singh"s. And 1 (only) Mohamed.

Some of the accused are likely graduates of the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving (HQ in Brampton ON), and probably employed by companies with names like Diversity Truck Lines. Anyone with information to the contrary is invited to blab in our "comments", or you can just call 1-800-222-TIPS.

A message to today's Traditional Catholics from Saint Athanasius

It was when I was working with the Fatima Priest, Father Nicholar Gruner+, that I learned about Saint Athanasius of Alexandria. St. Athanasius was beloved of Father Gruner for having dared to stand up for the True Faith in opposition to the Arian Heresy embraced in the 4th century A.D. by secular rulers and the majority of churchmen, up to and including Pope Liberius.

St. Athanasius "whose very gift it was, above all other Fathers, to possess a clear and accurate knowledge of the Catholic doctrine," was born in Alexandria, Egypt, near the end of the 3rd century A.D. Christianity was well-rooted in Alexandria at that time, yet it was also the centre of a growing theological error regarding the fundamental Christian doctrine of the Trinity. This error would be fervently promoted by the Alexandrian priest, Arius, from whom it derives its name of "Arianism". 

The defense of the orthodox Faith in opposition to Arianism would largely define the life of St. Athanasius. The serious nature of this heresy and the dispute it occasioned led to the calling by the Emperor Constantine of the first Ecumenical Council of the Church -- the Council of Nicaea -- in A.D. 325.

Assisting the bishop of Alexandria at this council was the young deacon, Athanasius. There, the orthodox formulation of the Nicene Creed declared that the Son of God was truly God, begotten, not made, and of the same substance as the Father. 

Despite the dogmatic definition of Nicaea, the Arian Heresy persisted. With undaunted courage, Athanasius continued the struggle against this denial of the Divinity of Christ, which brought him up against powerful churchmen and even Emperors. Despite being exiled on five separate occasions and even excommunicated by Pope Liberius in 357 A.D., Athanasius persisted in his defence of the orthodox doctrine. 

The purported excommunication of this champion of the true Faith was controversial at the time and for centuries aftrerward. As Athanasius pointed out in charity when he refused to accept the validity of the excommunication, Pope Liberius had been imprisoned and issued this condemnation under pressure from his captors. No doubt that mitigated somewhat his responsibility. Nevertheless, Liberius was the first pope never recognized as a saint. 

Historian Cornelius Clifford says in his account: "Athanasius was the greatest champion of Catholic belief on the subject of the Incarnation that the Church has ever known and in his lifetime earned the characteristic title of 'Father of Orthodoxy', by which he has been distinguished ever since." 

St. John Henry Newman describes St. Athanasius as a "principal instrument, after the Apostles, by which the sacred truths of Christianity have been conveyed and secured to the world."

Here is one of the saints writings which resonates loudly today, as Traditional Catholics are denounced and bullied by the Vatican, and called "excommunicate", "schismatic" and even "a Protestant sect", by churchmen who, by all objective measures, have embraced heresy and apostasy.

Let us pray. "O Lord Jesus Christ, we recall to mind how St. Athanasius defended Thee and the true teachings of Thy Holy Church even at the risk of his career and life, relying always for strength and comfort on his faith in Thee and his love for Thy Blessed Mother, Mary. Even when his foes stripped him of his priestly offices and worldly goods, this holy saint remained steadfast and true always, revealing the lies and treachery of Thine enemies and earning the love of Thy people.

"O Blessed Lord, through the intercession of this great saint, we beseech Thee to raise up pastors filled with faith, charity, truth, and apostolic zeal, capable of guiding souls in fidelity to the Church and to Catholic Tradition. We ask Thee also to strengthen our faith and love and apportion to us the zeal of St. Athanasius so that we too may totally serve Thee without reserve, hesitation of fear. Amen."

Suspicions confirmed! A disproportionate number of criminals are aliens

We run a lot of stories -- by which I mean reports, not made-up stories -- about immigrants (legal and illegal) who commit crimes without regard for the law or customs of the countries which have welcomed them. Like the one below, posted earlier today.  

We've been focusing on Sikhs because their slice of the diversity pie seems to contain more bad apples than other pieces. However, of the 32 accused in the organized retail theft ring busted by Hamilton ON police, only 12 (based on the "Singh" name) are Sikhs. And none of those listed has been identified as an immigrant. The Authorities in the AABC countries don't like to talk about where the miscreants come from for fear of fanning the flames of anti-immigrant backlash.

The silence of the bleeding heart liberals on the immigrant crime issue doesn't stop, but actually increases our suspicions. But how to find out for sure? The government of the Disunited Kingdom has come under great pressure recently to make public its statistics on crimes committed by non-nationals.  

A few months before the general election of 2024, a backbench amendment to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Sentencing Bill would have required the government a report to Parliament annually detailing the nationality, visa and asylum status of every offender convicted in English and Welsh courts in the previous 12 months. Sounds like a good idea to me, but the Bill was ditched due to the election.

However, there is publicly available information on the demographics of Britain's prison population, which suggess stark disparities in crime rates among different nationalities living in the UK. According to a 2024 report in The Telegraph, foreigners overall were 27% more likely to be imprisoned than British citizens. 

Certain ethnic groups were significantly more overrepresented, with Albanians having an imprisonment rate of 232.33 out of 10,000 people, compared to a rate of 14 out of 10,000 for British citizens. Other high crime rate groups included Kosovars (150), Vietnamese (148.88), Algerians (124.41), Jamaicans (110.77), Eritreans (110.7), Iraqis (104.43), and Somalis (100.37). 

Conversely, some migrant groups had a lower imprisonment rate than their British counterparts, including Germans (4.68), Italians (4.96), Indians (6.24), Greeks (6.36), Americans (7.27), Sri Lankans (8.17), French (8.64), and Chinese (9.39). 

Commenting on the refusal of the government to release full crime statistics, Reform UK MP Robert Jenrick said, "The cover-up continues. Successive Tory and Labour justice secretaries have refused to publish this basic information. A Reform government led by Nigel Farage would immediately blow the lid on what’s really happening and begin deporting these dangerous criminals."

That's Not-so-great Britain. Walt's guess is that the ethnic mix of those incarcerated in the US of A would be different. Surely there can't be so many Albanians in American jails. But Eritreans and Somalis, well, they're criminals of a slightly darker colour (although all are mostly Muslim). 

In Canada you'd find more Jamaicans and still more Sikhs, although the latter could be identified by country of origin as Indian or Pakistan. In Australia? Who knows? One generalization which we can make without fear of contradiction is that a good deal of crime in the AABC countries is the work of immigrants from the third world. There's a lesson there which our governments seem unable to learn.

Your Sikhs today: Home Depot edition

Hamilton ON police announced this week that they have rounded up more than 30 of the usual suspects -- at least 12 of them Sikhs -- in "Project Checkout", an investigation into organized retail theft targeting Home Depot stores. The four-month probe was launched after police noticed a 25% increase in thefts from the American D-I-Y chain.

According to their statement, "What began as a series of shoplifting investigations quickly revealed an organized operation. Investigators found organized groups were stealing high-value tools and construction equipment from Hamilton Home Depot stores before reselling the items through online marketplaces at prices well below retail."

Police allege that in several incidents, suspects "threatened violence when store employees attempted to intervene." They say two search warrants were subsequently carried out at a commercial property and residence where hundreds of suspected stolen tools and other items believed to be connected to the the theft ring were recovered. A 2021 RAM TRX, valued at about C$100,000 ($70,000 in real money), was also seized.

Here's the list of those charged. There are 12 Singhs. More of the accused may also be Sikhs whose fully names have not been reported. Note those who were already on probation or out on bail in other matters.

UPDATED: One less Sikh truck driver on Ontario roads

The highways of Ontario are a little bit safer today, with Taranpreet Singh Sidhu, pictured, off the roads and in the morgue.

The 29-year-old immigrated to Canada from India in 2022 to study at the notorious Singh School of Truck driving. Until this week, he lived in Brampton (surprised?) and Halifax while working as a driver for DiversityTruck Lines.

On Wednesday morning, his body was found, partly submerged in water, in a sewage culvert [No tasteless jokes, please. Ed.] at the north end of Fruitland Road in Stoney Creek ON. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Inspector Singh (no relation) of the Hamilton police said, "Following the initial investigation, detectives have confirmed Mr Sidhu’s death is the result of a homicide. Investigators are not releasing the cause of death at this time as the investigation remains ongoing." 

"Investigators have conducted an extensive video canvas in the area where Mr. Sidhu was located and continue to review surveillance and digital evidence while interviewing witnesses to establish his movements leading up to his death," the shamus added. "While detectives continue to pursue all investigative avenues, they are not prepared to release information regarding the 18-wheeler believed to have been used to transport Mr Sidhu."

UPDATE ADDED 23/7/26: According to a report in the Toronto Sun, Hamilton Police are now working with the Peel Regional Police on the investigation and have said they are |"confident" that the long-haul trucker was murdered elsewhere. 

Inspector Singh (no relation) told the Hamilton Spectator yesterday that investigators have identified the second crime scene in the murder. That scene is located in Brampton and connected to the trucking industry. Surprised?

But there's a bigger story about Sikh truck drivers breaking today. See "Diversity Truck Lines in $98 million drug bust", WWW 23/7/26. Yes, we name the Singhs that the lickspittle media don't want you to know about!
