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.
