Your Singhs today (Alberta edition)

Regular readers of this ever-lengthening series will know that we usually try to post photos of the perps of the smuggling, extortion and murders for which Canada's Sikh community has become notorious. But the people who committed this particular crime are still at large, so we'll being with a picture of the victim.

Birinder Singh, aged 22, was shot to death earlier this month on  Highway 2, south of Edmonton AB, near Township Road 490, south of Leduc.

According to the RCMP (who have not yet got their man) three friends were headed to the mountains on the afternoon of 14 March when a pickup truck pulled up beside their Honda Civic.

Witnesses saw the truck pull up beside a car and then speed off. According to the two survivors of the shooting, a person in the truck made a hand gesture toward them, something resembling a peace sign. The meaning would depend on the colour of the person making the gesture.

The witnesses said their friend and Mr Singh, who was driving the car, waved back. How many fingers they used is not known. Moments later, someone in the truck opened fire and a bullet struck Mr Singh in the neck. The friends took control of the steering wheel and pulled the car over to the side of the highway. There Mr Singh died in the vehicle from loss of blood. 

According to the friends, Mr Singh moved three years ago from India to... wait for it... Brampton ON, on an international student visa. He studied business administration at the Singh School of Truck Driving before relocating to Edmonton in October. Since then, the business administration student worked in construction, installing siding. He was on his way to see the Canadian Rockies for the first time when he was killed. 

Sergeant Preston of the Yukonf said investigators located the truck, a Grey 2022 Ford F-150, last week but the suspect remains at large as the Mounties continue their search for a suspect and a motive.

Here's a related news flash. CTV News reports that, to the surprise of no-one, Karen Hogan, Canada's Auditor General, found reforms to the international student program "fell short" on improving integrity, including only investigating a small number of "potentially problematic" cases flagged by post-secondary institutions. 

Her report, released this morning, found that out of 153,324 potentially non-compliant students reported by schools to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) in 2023 and 2024, the government only had the ability to investigate about 2000 a year, or 4057 in total. 

Within those investigations, the AG’s report found that 1654 students did not respond to IRCC's two inquiries. And... spoiler alert... "the department took limited action to confirm non‑compliance beyond contacting the student for more information."

Speaking to the meeja after submitting her report to the Liberal government to be filed and forgotten, reporters on Parliament Hill on Monday, the Auditor General said it's "concerning" to see the IRCC’s lack of action. "I think they’re just not acting on the information they have," Ms Hogan said. "And I would expect them to do that. They have the powers and the tools. They just need to use them."

If the IRCC did what Ms Hogan suggests, Marx Carnage's Liberal government would be in danger of losing as many as 24 seats -- notably in Brampton, Surrey BC and Edmonton -- in the House of Commons. So don't expect any such action until there are reliable reports of sub-zero temperatures in Hades.

VIDEO: TEDx talk about why Indians are shitting on our beaches

Agent 3 has a friend who has a rather posh cottage property on the shore of Lake Erie, not far from the US-Canada border. The friend has been complaining to the local council for years now about visitors from south Asia shitting on the beach. 

In spite of being shown not just photos but videos of brown people depositing their calling cards in the golden sand, council refuses to act, for fear of being called racist. Some liberal-minded folk (read: idiots) have even played the DEI card, arguing that open defecation is part of the culture of the shitters, and their culture must be respected. After all, "diversity is our strength", right?

In this TEDx Talk, given in 2015, Sangita Vyas, a grarduate of the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton, shares the little understood reality of open defecation in India. Most of the open defecation in the world happens in India, yet social scientists and the government claim not to understand why.

Ms Vyas did a country-wide survey and came up with some answers to the eternal question of "WHY?" Spoiler alert: It's because of their culture and their heathen religion. Can you say "caste", boys and girls? I knew you could. But good on Ms Vyas for saying the quiet part out loud.

In her talk, given just over 10 years ago., Ms Vyas expresses the hope that as the modern generation becomes better-educated (and richer!) things will change. They have not. 

And the millions of Indians who come to Canada and the USA on the invitation of our liberal governments bring their millennia-old cultural and religious practices with them. As they say themselves, "You can take the Indian out of India, but you can't take Indis out of the Indian."

Your Singhs today: "We're not gangstas; we're refugees!"

Walt resents suggestions that he thinks all Sikhs are actual or potential criminals and detriments to Canadian society. There are good people and bad people in every ethnic group, and of course there are good Sikhs trying to make better lives for themselves in Canada and the USA than they good have had back home in "Khalistan".

Sikhs can be not just the perpetrators but victims of brown crime. This coming Sunday, three Canadian Sikh organizations will hold a town hall meeting in Surrey BC to discuss "Indian transnational repression and extortion", which they say has reached "crisis level". In a poster promoting the event, the organizers say "Families, businesses, and community members are facing intimidation, threats, and violence that no Canadian should ever experience."

Who are the criminals terrorizing Sikhs, you might ask. The answer is, other Indians of a different religious persuasion... or none at all. Over a year ago, the RCMP warned that Indian government agents -- including diplomatic and consular officials -- were involved in "serious criminal activity in Canada", including extortion. But, in spite of the Liberal government's push to mend fences with India, the latter refuses to acknowledge its alleged role in violent crimes, never mind promising to stop.

Investigations into the extortions of  "South Asian" business owners in BC's Lower Mainland, Brampton ON and Edmonton AB, have led to several arrests and charges. Indian crime groups such as the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which Canada listed as a terrorist group in September, have been demanding exorbitant payoffs from business owners and others. After threatening victims by phone, gang leaders in India will then send local foot soldiers to conduct arsons and shootings to pressure them to pay up. 

The obvious way to put a stop to the criminality in the Indo-Canadian community [sic] would be to deport the criminals. But there's a small problem -- Canada's ridiculously liberal policies on asylum-seekers and "refugees".

Last September, the British Columbia government formed an extortion task force, led by the Mounties and immigration officers, to tackle "organized-crime activity involved in extortion-related threats." It is led by the RCMP and composed of police and immigration officers. As of last week, the Canadian Border Services Agency had opened 96 investigations into foreigners identified by the task force. Then this happened.

Here's the problem in graphic form.  11 of the ciminals were found to be in "non-compliance" -- not in Canada legally -- and were issued removal orders. Surprisingly, 5 of those were actually deported. 14 other individuals who attracted attention from the task force were referred to the Refugee Protection Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board, which stops the deportation process dead. 

Their cases are now on hold until the IRB decides what to do with them. A spokesthingy for the IRB told Canada's Global TV News he would not comment further on the matter. Nor would he respond when asked if all were citizens of India. 

The vice-chair of immigration at the Canadian Bar Association’s BC branch, whose name is Amandeep Hayer (no relation), said the suspects' alleged involvement in crime could still be raised during their refugee hearings, and the IRB could... maybe... possibly... reject their claims for asylum on the grounds they are inadmissible to Canada for criminality.

Meanwhile, according to Vancouver immigration lawyer Richard Kurland, the "suspects" have succeeded in delaying their deportations for years. Mr Kurland blamed a backlog of refugee cases, "because Ottawa refuses to resource the IRB to provide expeditious hearings to prevent four-year waits. They just bought four years in Canada, with subsidized health. If they want to go to school, that’s subsidized, and if they need public assistance, that's subsidized by the taxpayer."

O Cana-duh!

Your Singhs today (Niagara edition)

Here's a mug shot of Manpreet Singh, a typical Brampton ON man who is no longer in Brampton. Why? Because he's on the lam, believed by police to have caught the next plane to India (location of "free Khalistan") after having murdered 27-year-old Amanpreet Saini, a North York woman and co-religionist. 

Ms Sami's lifeless body was found with traumatic injuries at Charles Daley Park in Lincoln ON, part of Niagara Region, earlier this week. For reasons known only to themselves (so far), police have issued a Canada-wide warrant charging Mr Singh with second-degree murder. The cops figured Mr Singh had left Canada when he failed to show up for his regular shift at DiversityTransport Ltd.

Sounds like an honour killing, doesn't it? Actually, no. Such crimes are more common amongst followers of the Prophet. Sikh men are more likely to kill their women in some sort of crime of passion -- rejection of a marriage proposal, for example -- hence the charge of second-degree murder. 

With typical Canadian political correctness, police have said nothing about Mr Singh's citizenship -- he's assumed to be an Indian national -- or his status in Canada, which we can safely assume is "irregular". If our assumption turns out to be wrong, we'll post an apology here. Don't hold your breath.

Your Singhs today (Manitoba edition)

Meet Navjeet Singh, the subject of considerable discussion in the Manitoba legislature last week. Mr Singh is a Sikh -- they have to take off their turbans for mug shots -- who came to Canuckistan from India in 2020 as an international student. 

At the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving in Brampton ON, he learned how to shut off the cab data recorder (like an airplane's "black box") and to doctor driving logs. In 2022 he got a work permit, and, still residing in Brampton, went to work for Diversity Transport Lines.

Mr Singh was behind the wheel of a semi when, in November of 2024, it collided with a car near the rural Manitoba town of Altona, killing a mother and daughter coming home from shopping.

The truck had run through a stop sign on a clear evening. Witnesses and wreckage indicated that it had been travelling at high speed. The Mounties went to the hospital to talk to Mr Singh, who was unimjured but (he said) too shaken up to provide a statement. He promised to come to the station for an interview the next day, and the cops, fearful of being called "racist", opted at that point not to lay charges. 

Within a matter of hours Mr Singh had left both the hospital and, as it turns out, the Great No-longer-white North. He was charged in absentia with dangerous driving causing death, and was finally arrested last August at Toronto's Pearson International Airport after re-entering the country on an Ethiopian Airlines flight from India.  

Mr Singh's lawyer told a Manitoba provincial court that he returned voluntarily to face justice... after eluding it for nine months. Counsel for the Crown suggested that the accused be locked in a closet from which the air could be sucked out through a straw [Ed., please factcheck that] and argued his release would "endanger public confidence in the justice system."

The presiding judge, keeping in mind the Trudeau dictum that "diversity is Canada's strength", granted bail anyway, on the strength of a C$7500 (= $5400 in real money) provided by another Singh. The judge also required Mr Singh to surrender his passport and driver's licence, to obviate the risk he would take another Indian vacation or resume his career. 

Mr Singh faces other conditions, including a curfew and total ban on driving, the imposition of which gave rise to muffled guffaws in the well of the court, since it is well known that such orders are almost never enforced. Just last week Ontario Provincial Police pulled over a driver who had been driving at 144 km/h in a 100 km/h zone, only to find that his licence has been suspended for 40 years. The 60-year-old driver from Toronto had already been convicted of driving while suspended 20 times!

Just in case Mr Singh tries to do another bunk, airport personnel have been asked to be on the lookout for anyone named Singh, sporting a beard and a turban, trying to board a flight to India. Laughter is still echoing through the corridors of YWG and YYZ.

Crackdown on illegal immigrants worries and angers Muslims

Doesn't look like LA, does it. Well, it's not. It's Gurugram, an upscale suburb just outside Delhi, India. But, come to think of it, there are similarities with the City of the Angels. Gleaming SUVs, futuristic skyscrapers and neat apartments stand in stark contrast to nearby homeless encampments and feces-strewn streets.

Unlike the slums of LA, those of Gurugram are inhabited by people who aren't living off food stamps and the proceeds of dealing drugs, but working! They are migrant workers -- mostly domestic helpers, garbage-pickers and daily-wage workers. Last month, the Indian version of ICE rounded up hundreds of them, mostly Bengali-speaking Muslims from India's West Bengal state.

The mass arrests are part of a "verification" drive targeting illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. The suspects were detained and kept at "holding centres" (not to be confused with "concentration camps") where they were asked to provide documents to prove their citizenship. 

Many allege they were beaten and mistreated by police during the process. Ather Ali Sheikh told the BBC, "I had my voter and national ID cards, but they told me they were fake. I spent six days not knowing my fate before I was finally released." How very misfortunate for him!

Hundreds of migrant workers have fled overnight, abandoning jobs, homes and, in some cases, even families in their haste to escape. "I still don't understand why they suddenly came after me," Mr Sheikh said. Behind him, his wife hurriedly packed their belongings - torn clothes, old utensils and school books - into flimsy boxes. "Was it because of my language, my religion or because I am poor? Why weren't the rich Bengali residents held up?" 

Police in Gurugram deny targeting any particular community. "Neither religion nor class has anything to do with the drive," spokesthingy Sandeep Kumar told the Beeb. He added that out of the 250 people picked up, only 10 have been identified as illegal migrants and will actually be deported. "Everyone else was released. No one was mistreated at the centres. We have been completely fair and objective." 

Crackdowns on alleged illegal immigrants from Muslim-majority Bangladesh are not new in India. The countries are divided by a porous 2500-mile-long border, which, ever since the partition of India, has seen waves of movement of people on both sides. But these efforts seem to have intensified under the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Deportations are also under way in Delhi, where some 700 people were picked up and flown out to border states in the last six months. This has had a chilling impact on the marginalised community. In Gurugram, a sense of shock prevailed over their dust-blanketed colonies. "For years, we have cleaned and collected their garbage. Now we are being treated like it ourselves," said Rauna Bibi, a domestic worker.

The police say the detentions in Gurugram were made on the basis of strong preliminary evidence. You'll notice that the lady in the photo isn't so poor that she can't afford a phone with which to take a selfie. But the phone may have been her undoing. "We checked their phones," said the same police flak-catcher, "and found suspicious contacts from Bangladesh. Some of them also failed to answer questions about their ancestry during interrogation."

Suhas Chakma, a non-Muslim human rights worker, denies that the crackdown is motivated by Islamophobia. "The arrest of the Muslims appears to be more as they constitute about 95% of Bangladesh's population," he explained. But, he added, for a country that has seen an influx of refugees for decades, India does need a wider refugee law to address many of these complex issues.

"A wider refugee law." Right. Like that of... where??? Let it not be said that Prime Minister Modi is looking to President Trump for inspiration -- although he probably is. Let us instead wonder how much longer the prime ministers of Britain and Canada can get away with not taking similar measures before what's left of their countries' white  populace rise up in arms.

VIDEO: Would you buy an iPhone or sneakers made by these guys?

President Trump has said that the point of all these tariffs on foreign-made goods is to not only address unfairness in the global trading system, but to bring jobs and factories back to America. Soon (he says) there will be lots of good jobs in factories like those to be found in places like Xinjiang province, in the Worker's Paradise that is China.

What would winning the trade war with China look like? Something like this, perhaps?

 

Yes, that's Chinese Communist propaganda, but it has got a lot of people thinking... even the Donald, who yesterday announced that smartphones and computers will be exempt from reciprocal tariffs, including the 125% levies imposed on Chinese imports. 

The apparent flip-flop comes after concerns from Amerian tech companies that the price of such gadgets could skyrocket, because many of them are made in China or use Chinese-made parts. The exemptions also include other electronic devices and components, including semiconductors, solar cells and memory cards. 

Some estimates suggested iPhone prices and other electronic goods in America would have gone up three times if the costs of the tariffs had been passed on to consumers. The US of A is a major market for iPhones, while Apple accounted for more than half of its smartphones sales last year. As much as 80% of Apple's iPhones intended for sale in America are made in China, with the remaining 20% made in India. 

Along with fellow smartphone giants such as Samsung, Apple has been trying to diversify its supply chains to avoid over-reliance on China in recent years. India and Vietnam emerged as frontrunners for additional manufacturing hubs. As tariffs took effect, Apple reportedly looked to speed up and increase its production of India-produced devices in recent days. 

President Trump had planned a host of steep tariffs on countries around the world set to go into effect this week. But on Wednesday, he quickly reversed course, announcing that he would implement a 90-day pause for countries hit by higher US tariffs - except China - whose tariffs he raised to 145%.

Trump said the Chinese tariff increase was because of the country's readiness to retaliate with its own 84% levy on US goods. In a dramatic change of policy, Trump said all countries that had not retaliated against US tariffs would receive a reprieve – and only face a blanket US tariff of 10% – until July. The White House then said the move was a negotiating tactic to extract more favourable trade terms from other countries.

Says Walt (pulling at the outside corners of his eyes to make them look kinda slanty), rotsa ruck with that.

Liberals boot Indo-Canadian MP from leadership race

The CBC -- Canada's answer to Pravda -- reports today that Nepean MP Chandra Arya, featured in this video on WWW, says he's been informed by the Liberal Party of Canada that he won't be allowed to run in the leadership contest to replace Prime Minister Blackie McBlackface. 

In a statement posted to "X", Mr Arya said "While I await their official communication, I am carefully considering my next steps. This decision raises significant questions about the legitimacy of the leadership race and, by extension, the legitimacy of the next prime minister of Canada." 

Mr Arya does not say, nor does the Gliberal Party, whyfor his entry into the race to the bottom weas denied. Surely it has nothing to dfo with his vow to dump the monarchy if elected, or his statement that he doesn't speak French and doesn't believe it will matter to French-speaking Canadians.

More likely, the reason is that Mr Arya is just a bit too Indian (turbans, not feathers) even for the Liberals. In 2023, he sponsored a petition calling on the Liberals to reconsider plans to introduce a foreign agent registry in response to serious allegations of foreign interference in Canadian politics. The registry legislation has since passed, but it's not yet up and running. 

Mr Arya's ties to India have raised eyebrows amid worsening diplomatic relations. Last summer, he travelled to India and met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A statement from Global Affairs Canada at the time said Arya "travelled to India on his own initiative and was not representing the Government of Canada."

Mr Arya's premature ejection leaves one other Indo-Canadian MP in the race, viz. Ruby "Slippers" Dhalla, mentioned in "Mark Carney explains why he wants to lead the Liberal Party of Canada", WWW 24/1/25. She is, of course, the dark horse. [Couldn't resist it, eh. Ed.] Adjust your betting accordingly.

India releases video of moon landing

From the Babylon Bee, obviously and of course. Click here to read the article.

Walt can reveal that the Indian Space Research Organisation is planning, as its next mission, a landing on the sun. They are reported to have figured out how to cope with the extreme heat which the astronauts would encounter. "It will not be a problem," said ISRO Director Raj Patel. "Ve vill go at night!"

Space race fail! Sinister plot uncovered!

 Have you heard? The Indians (Bombay type, not those now referred to as "First Nations") have landed some equipment near the south pole of the moon! Why are they doing that? Pictures taken by the Hubble-Bubble telescope right here in Fort Mudge show their devilish plan.

Yes, folks. The idea was to carve the moon up into smaller pieces and transport them back to Earth, where India is desperate for more land to accommodate its burgeoning population. Too bad for them they only build tiny little cars, so it's going to take longer than they thought.

Memo from Ed. to Walt: That's really lame. Leave the humour to the Babylon Bee.

True Stuff Dept.: At least the tigers didn't get them!

Q. Other than being residents of the state of Maharastra, in western India, what do Sandeep Tukaram Pawar, Mangesh Kamtekar, Akshay Kamtekar and Ramesh Ghag have in common?

A. According to India Today, the four hunters were arrested by the Maharashtra forest authorities for allegedly raping a bengal monitor lizard, like this one, in the Sahydari Tiger Reserve. 

The forest officials came to know about the incident when they checked the mobile phone of the accused after the four were booked for illegally entering Chandoli National Park, which is part of the reserve, with one of them carrying a gun for hunting.

On April 13th, my good Mr Patel, an official of the Maharastra Forest, told reporters, "During the investigation, the forest officials found that the accused had allegedly raped a Bengal monitor lizard. Their act was also recorded in a mobile phone of one of the accused persons. We have recovered all the related evidence from the accused and they were granted forest department custody initially, but are out on bail now."

India Today described Maharashtra forest officials as "perplexed" by the "abhorrent crime" and reported that they "will take up the matter with the Indian Penal Court" to determine appropriate charges against the suspects. Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code states that "anyone who voluntarily commits intercourse with an animal shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine."

Walt is likewise perplexed. Did you see the size of the claws on that thing? The reptile can grow up to five and a half feet long and weigh almost 16 pounds! Can you imagine...?! Even with three of your mates holding her ["him", "it"? Ed.], you'd be taking your life, as well as your hangings-down, in your hands.

Haven't we seen this movie before?

"At the beginning of this period, there was music and drinking, noisy entertainers and crowds of prostitutes, a time of foolery and joking, effeminacy, and chasing ater transvestites.

"All pleasures, whether forbidden or not, were available and the voice of the spiritual authorities grew indistinct, drowned out in the uproar of partying. 

"People got used to vice and forgot to promote what was decent, for the mirrors of their hearts could no longer reflect a virtuous face -- so much so, that when the catastrophe happened and socierty was torn apart, it was no longer capable of being mended."

Shakir Khan, a contemporary nobleman, describes social conditions at the time of the fall of the Mughal empire in India, c. 1740 AD. Quoted in The Anarchy: The East India Comopany, Corporate Violence, and the Pillage of an Empire, by William Dalrymple, Bloomsbury Publishing, 2019.

It was under the emperor Muhammad Shah Rangeela that the degeneration of the Mughal empire began in earnest, as did the decadence and degeneration of Muslim society in India. His pleasure-loving and merry-making pursuits expedited the process of downfall of the empire. 

When the Persian Nadir Shah invaded India in 1739, he found the Mughal army in complete disarray, defeating them easily in the battle of Karnal. There followed the massacre of hundreds of thousands, unprecedented looting, rapine and plunder. 

Nadir Shah took away billions of dollars (in today's money) of treasure, as well as the Peacock Throne. He left Mughal Empire impotent and vulnerable to complete decomposition. It never recover its glory and power. All that remains of the Mughal empire in India are a few crumbling ruins to be seen in Delhi and elsewhere, as well as the famous Taj Mahal, which is also crumbling.

One-worlders quake with fear as nationalists win elections everywhere

George Soros, his puppets and minions, are much disturbed this week by results (actual and anticipated) of elections in India, Australia and the European Union. Around the world, nationalism -- not "white nationalism", but nationalism pure and simple -- is on the rise, along with anti-immigrant backlash and pushback against the globalists' one world, "new world order" agenda.

In India, the world's largest democracy (TM), exit polls suggest that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is on course to win the general election which has been in progress for the last two months. The official results will be announced on Thursday, but expectations are that the BJP will emerge even stronger than after its 2014 landslide, with a majority in the Lok Sabha (lower house of parliament) a possibility.

Why does this bother the gliberals? Who cares what happens in India? To find the answer, look up "Hindutva" in the dictionary. It means "Hinduness", thus "Hindu nationalism", not "Indian nationalism". (There can be no such thing as "nationalism" in a state with such a diversity of languages, races and religions!) For Mr Modi and his people (Walt uses the term advisedly) it's not "India first!" but "HINDUS first!", to the exclusion of Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and even Sikhs. The spectre of more sectarian strife, and even another shooting war with Muslim Pakistan, looms. The prospects for peaceful coexistence in south Asia are just about nil.

Meanwhile, a couple of thousand miles to the southeast, Australia's ruling conservative coalition won a "miracle" victory in last week's general election, stunning Antipodean pollsters, the (((controlled media))) and the opposition Labour party, which, like Hellery Clinton's Democrats, had been seen as certain to win. Apparently Aussie voters didn't buy into Labour's progressive plans to fight climate change and "inequality".

And there was the immigration issue, which proved to be a ballot question for the "quiet Australians" who fear being called "racist" but fear even more Labour's proposed "humanitarian" relaxation of strict border controls which have kept boatloads of bogus refugees on islands off the Australian coast. The Financial Times quotes Duncan McDonnell, a professor of politics at Griffith University in Queensland, as saying, "The heart of Australian politics beats on the right. It's a conservative country and I think there was a trend in this election in which voters asked 'if it isn't broke, why fix it?'"

And now we come to Europe, where opinion polls show populist forces set to make major gains in the European Parliament election to be held later this week. All of Europe's mainstream, pro-EU political alliances are expected to lose seats, with the big winners likely to be the Europe of Nations and Freedom group, anchored by Matteo Salvini's League in Italy and Marine Le Pen's National Rally in France.

Take note of the name "Europe of Nations and Freedom". The group rejects absolute the idea of a "post-national" Europe run by a supra-national government at Brussels which would have the power to override the wishes of the different peoples of the different nations which comprise the EU. As the sign says, their ideas of "power to the people" and "a Europe of free nations" are spreading everywhere in Europe.

Last Saturday, Matteo Salvini led a rally of right-wing populist leaders in Milan, as they campaign for the transformation of European politics. Sig. Salvini, Minister of the Interior and head of the League party, is at the forefront of a growing movement of nationalist leaders seeking to free the 28 nations of the EU from what he calls the "illegal occupation" of Brussels.

Sig. Salvini was joined by ten other nationalist leaders, including Marine Le Pen of France’s National Rally and Joerg Meuthen of the Alternativ für Deutschland. The event was a major tour de force for the expanding movement ahead of the vote that will take place in all 28 EU nations on May 23rd-26th.

In his speech, Sig. Salvini decried unchecked migration, pledging to close Europe's borders to migrants. He also attacked Islam, saying it mistreats women. He said Turkey would never be a part of Europe and rejected the label of extremists for the leaders with him. "In this piazza, there are no extremists," he said. "There are no racists. There are no fascists. If anything in Italy and in Europe, the difference is between who looks ahead, between who speaks of the future...instead of making trials of the past."

Sikh soldiers from Canada ready to liberate Punjab?

There was much tightening of sphincters across the Indian state of Punjab, and much soiling of shorts in New Delhi and Ottawa yesterday, when this photo, taken on Sunday, appeared on the Net.

WTF? Where was this? Who are those guys?! What was going on? The answer to the second question is that they were parading down Lakeshore Boulevard in Toronto -- the city that thinks it's world-class. The members of the Canadian Armed Forces (for that's why they are) are not (as some thought) Jagmeet Singh's personal bodyguards, nor are they (as rumoured) members of an elite squad of Indo-Canadians departing for a mission to liberate "Khalistan", aka the Punjab, homeland to Canada's million or so Sikhs.

They are Sikhs though, as is their ultimate commander, the Canadian Minister of Defence, Harjit Sajjan. Mr Sajjan claimed today that he did not authorized the appearance of this squad in the annual Khalsa Day parade, in which Sikhs anticipate the, errr, liberation of Khalistan. Mr Sajjan says (now) that there was nothing wrong with these turbaned heroes being in the parade, but that their commander should have ordered "No assault rifles!" Or "at least not 'at the ready' as if you're on combat patrol! That comes later..."

Both the commander who authorized the marching contingent to carry rifles (against government policy) and whoever told them how to carry the rifles (just plain stupid) definitely have some `splainin' to do! A spokesthingy for the CAF said the army's top commander in Ontario is following up with the unit and has issued additional orders prohibiting the carrying of weapons at similar events.

She could not, however, say whether a formal investigation or disciplinary action had been launched. Chances of that happening when those involved, including the Honourable Mr Sajjan, are Sikhs? Slim and none. Hey, there's an election coming in less than six months!

University to pull down statue of historical figure now deemed racist

You thought it was going to be another statue of Robert E. Lee, destroyed by another southern city or school eager to prove how politically correct they are by denying public space to one of the great heroes of American -- yes, American! -- history. Noooo... This time the beloved historical figure who is to be insulted and dethroned [There must be a better word, but I can't think of it. Ed.] is none other than Mohandas Gandhi, one of the 20th century's greatest fighters against colonialism and racism.

Or so it was thought. After all, didn't the Mahatma (Great Soul) lead the non-violent revolution that succeeded in driving the evil white British out of India? Was his campaign not just against the Brits, but against racism? Didn't he believe that all men [and women. Ed.] are created equal? Errr, maybe not.

This statue of the Indian independence leader was erected two years ago at the University of Ghana, in Accra, the shithole country's capital, but was removed in the middle of this past Tuesday night, after professors at the university began a petition against the statue, which has since gained over 2000 signatures. The petition claims Mr Gandhi was a racist, citing his writings over the years in which he said Indians were "infinitely superior" to Africans, whom he called "kaffirs", a racist slur at the time.

In 1896, the Mahatma wrote: "Ours is one continual struggle against a degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the Europeans, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with and, then, pass his life in indolence and nakedness."

Mr Gandhi was in South Africa at the time. Perhaps there was some truth to what he said in 1896, but certainly there is no truth whatever to it 122 years later. Right? Anyway, his statue is gone now. It has not been replaced by a statue of an African hero [or heroine. Ed.] because [Unfortunately, considerations of space prevent us from posting the rest of Walt's comment. Ed.]

Canuck media treat troubled Liberal MP with kid gloves

For an example of how the liberal/Liberal bias of the Canadian lamestream media plays out (see "Canada's liberal propagandists to get $600 million reward", WWW 24/11/18), consider the kid-glove treatment given to Raj Grewal, the Liberal Member of Parliament for the Sikh enclave of Brampton East, who resigned from Parliament and from the Party on Thursday.

When the story broke, all of the Canuck meeja swallowed -- hook, line and sinker -- a statement from Mr Grewal that he was leaving for "personal and medical reasons". That's all. Nothing to see here folks. And no-one -- especially no-one from the CBC -- asked any questions. To do so would have been, errr, racist, eh!

Chief Government Whip Mark Holland sent a memo to Liberal MPs instructing them "to refrain from speculating or commenting publicly" about Mr Grewal's resignation. "It's sad. It's very unfortunate that he's facing very serious personal issues. It was very challenging, but the right thing to do," said Mr Holland. "It wouldn't be respectful to him to comment further." And on Thursday night, Just In Trudeau tweeted that Mr Grewal's decision to resign "was the right one. I hope he receives the support he needs."

The next day, however, someone timidly asked about the nature of Mr Grewal's problems. There were rumours floating around the Sikh community, it was said, about Mr Grewal's relationship with Yusuf Yenilmez, CEO of ZGemi Inc., a Brampton construction company. Someone remembered that Mr Grewal had invited Mr Yenilmez, who had previously paid him for "legal advice" to come along with Mr Socks and his family on the disastrous trip to India in February. An ethics investigation into that little affair is ongoing.

So... a bit of clarification was needed. On Friday the Prime Minister's fart-catchers issued a statement echoing the Trudeau tweet, saying that Mr Grewal had informed the PM's office that he was receiving treatment from a health professional "related to a gambling problem that led him to incur significant personal debts." Aha. "Based on these circumstances," the statement continued, "we agreed that his decision to resign as member of Parliament for Brampton East was the right one. We hope he receives the support he needs."

Then came the sound of a shoe dropping. In its statement, the PMO also said it was "unaware of any investigation by Peel Regional Police" into Grewal's situation. Inspector Knacker sent an e-mail to the CBC refusing to confirm details about ongoing investigations.

So that's that, except that the PMO had to admit, in the same statement, that it did know the Mounties had made inquiries related to a complaint made earlier this year to the federal ethics commissioner by Charlie Angus, MP, about the participation of Mr Grewal and his boss in the junket to India.

Perceptive Canucks (and yes, there are some) must be wondering what a man who was under pressure to repay "significant personal debts" would do to satisfy his creditors. Words like "bribe", "embezzlement", "influence peddling" and "corruption" spring to mind. Such things are unknown in India, of course, but are not unimaginable in the Great No-longer-white North. The other shoe is bound to drop, but don't depend on the Canuck lamestream meeja to tell you.

Indian priorities on display -- world's tallest statue

Here it is, dear readers, a photo of the World's Tallest Statue, unveiled just in time for Hallowe'en in India's western state of Gujarat.

Nearly 600 feet tall -- twice the height of the Statue of Liberty -- the "Statue of Unity" really is a biggie! Indeed so! It depicts Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (or "S.V. Patel" for short), a leader of India's independence movement. Mr Patel, who orchestrated the annexation of India's self-governing "princely states", is not exactly a champion of unity. His political philosophy fits better with the aggressive nationalism of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party than more famous heroes of independence, such as Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, who stood for the softer ideals of peace and tolerance. However, Mr Patel, like his millions of namesakes aroound the world, is a "Guj" -- a Gujarati. So that explains it.

Another prominent Guj is India's Prime Minister, Narendra Damodardas Modi, who was the Chief Minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014. Prime Minister Modi is a member of the nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Hindu extremist Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Mr Modi's administration has been blamed for the Gujarat anti-Muslim riots of 2002 Gujarat riots, but a Supreme Court-appointed Special Investigation Team found no evidence to initiate prosecution proceedings. So that's all right then.

Mr Modi's administration has also been criticized for failing to significantly improve health, poverty, and education indices in Gujarat, and now in India as a hole. [Ed., don't correct my spelling. Quod scripsi scripsi!] Which brings me the question of priorities. The Patel statue is said to have cost upwards of $400 million dollars. This in a country where according to the World Bank, nearly two-thirds of the people still defecate in the open. Makes you think, doesn't it? If you're an Indian politician, maybe not.

Footnote: Another famous Indian who, although he's not named "Patel", is almost certainly a Gujarati, is Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, who is being written out of The Simpsons following NPC criticism that he is just a racist caricature. In an episode last April, Lisa said to her mother, "Something that started decades ago and was applauded and inoffensive is now politically incorrect. What can you do?" Indeed.

RIP V.S. Naipaul: he said what white men couldn't

So, farewell then, V.S. Naipaul -- racist, misanthropist and Nobel Prize winner. Another Trinidadian writer, C.L.R. James, said that his views on the world -- "The world is what it is" -- and its human inhabitants simply reflected "what the whites want to say but dare not." That explains why I, being Whiteman by name and white man in fact, have underlined so many passages in his books, of which I've read (and recommend) almost all.

Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul was born five days shy of 86 years ago in Trinidad, a descendant of impoverished Indians shipped to the West Indies as coolies -- bonded labourers. "I was born there, yes," he told an interviewer in 1983. "I thought it was a great mistake." In 1950, Mr Naipaul was awarded a scarce government scholarship to study in Britain, and left his family to study English literature at University College, Oxford. He never really returned.

Mr Naipaul saw himself as a lone, stateless observer, free of ideology, politics and illusion. From his base in England, he travelled for extensive periods to pen journalistic essays and travel books. He flew three times to India, the land of his ancestors, to write about its culture and politics, which he disliked intensely. He spent time in Buenos Aires to write about Eva Peron, the former First Lady of Argentina. And he went to Iran, Pakistan and Indonesia to research and write books about Islam, which he condemned.

That Sir Vidia Naipaul (knighted in 1990) was a great writer -- a master stylist and story-teller with a cold, clear eye for the ironies, tragedies and sufferings of mankind -- is beyond doubt. But he is one of those authors who one either loves or hates. To his detractors, he was essentially political, bearing witness against the post-colonial world with great writing but shielded from criticism by virtue of being "one of them". His many critics called him "troubling", even "bigoted". They saw him as a "hater", a purveyor of stereotypes, wallowing in loathing of the world from which he came.

His supporters, however, found in his fiction merciless comic clarity, and in his travel writing a terrifying honesty. He refused to glamorise or idealise the developing world, but delivered original, scorching critiques, devoid of political correctness. He was fearless and unbiased in his criticism, attacking the cruelty of Islam, the corruption of Africa and the self-inflicted misery he witnessed in the poorest parts of the globe. The Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk said that Mr Naipaul represented third-world people "not with sugary magic realism but with their demons, their misdeeds and horrors -- which made them less victims and more human."

"There probably has been no imperialism like that of Islam and the Arabs", he once declared. He was scornful of the Caribbean, predicted that Africa would revert to bush (as indeed it has, IMHO) and often veered towards unapologetic misogyny. Indian women, he once wrote, wear a coloured dot on their foreheads to say "My head is empty."

V.S. Naipaul had little time for idealistic westerners who romanticised India and looked to it for a spiritual awakening. In the land of his ancestors, he saw only ugliness and a smug refusal to recognise the horror of the "narrow, broken lanes with green slime in the gutters, the chocked back-to-back houses, the jumble of filth and food and animals and people, the baby in the dust, swollen-bellied, black with flies, but wearing its good-luck amulet."

He was even more contemptuous of Islamic fundamentalism, which he decried long before 9/11 in The Believers (1981). One New York Times writer observed that it bore an antipathy to Islam so naked "that a book taking a comparable view of Christianity or Judaism would have been hard put to find a publisher" in America. An academic, Edward Said, said he found it hard to believe any rational person would attack entire cultures on such a scale.

Sir Vidia Naipaul will be remembered as a magical craftsman of English prose. He leaves behind a complex, challenging library of work which captures the complexities of the modern world in a unique blend of imagination, travel writing and autobiography. RIP.

Indian minister links Mississauga blast with terrorism

This is a follow-up to yesterday's post, "Mississauga ON restaurant bombing: hate, terror, or ???". Politically correct Canadian officials are still saying they have no idea what might have motivated the two men who exploded an IED in the Bombay Bhel restaurant in Mississauga ON on Thursday night.

Was it a hate crime? If so, who are the haters? Was it terrorism? If so, who are the terrorists? Two suspects are still at large. So far there's just one security camera photo of the perps. Their faces are masked but their physiognomy does not appear to be, errr, black. And a preliminary report describing one of them as having fair skin -- around the eyes presumably, since that's all you can see -- was quickly withdrawn.

So... not white, not black... brown, perhaps? South Asian perhaps? As Walt pointed out yesterday, Mississauga has in recent decades been overrun by Indians and Pakistanis, most of them Hindus, Muslims and (especially) Sikhs. The Sikhs are the ones with form when it comes to terror bombings, going back as far as the bombing of Air India flight 182 in 1985. See "Jagmeet Singh needs to get it straight on the Air India bombing", by Jonathan Kay, CBC News, 19/10/17.

The militant Sikhs have no compunction, it seems, about killing non-Sikh Indians, singly (as in the assassination of Indira Ghandi by her Sikh bodyguards) or by the planeload, for the sake of an independent Khalistan. Nor do they cavil at bring their religious hatreds with them when they immigrate to other parts of the world. But that's what our pro-immigration politicians want! That's the diversity that makes us strong! See "Saying the unsayable about the unspeakable in Brampton, Canada", WWW 25/4/14.

Although no white, Christian (?) Canuck politician has dared to hint at any connection between the Sikh community -- they vote, you know! -- and this week's bombing, the possibility has occurred to Captain Amarinder Singh, the chief minister of India's Punjab state. Capt. Singh, who is a Sikh, took to social media yesterday to condemn Thursday night's "incident". Here's what he wrote.

And here's a photo of Canuck Prime Minister Just In Trudeau meeting with Captain Singh during the former's live-your-fantasy tour of India last February.

Captain Singh revealed yesterday that during his tête-à-tête with Mr Dressup he raised concerns about "radicalism" in Canada and sought the Liberal government's co-operation in fighting terrorism.

A group calling itself "Sikhs On Media" (which seems to have remarkable access to the media of Canuckistan) later issued a statement saying Captain Singh’s remarks were inappropriate because they insinuated that, even though there's no evidence, certain specific communities (which they modestly decline to name) may have been to blame for the blast.

Their statement, carried by Global News, reads as follows: "As there is currently no information available as to the motives behind this heinous act or who the perpetrators may be, we strongly condemn the unfounded and highly irresponsible comments made by senior Indian officials. Any insinuation that this terrible crime is linked to any specific community is baseless and highly damaging. This type of speculation or spreading of false information before a full investigation is completed, is a reprehensible attempt to take advantage of an extremely tragic situation for political purposes. It is an attempt to sow division when unity is needed."

Now that a prominent Sikh -- the chief minister of Punjab, no less -- has linked the Mississauga blast with terrorism, will Canajan "authorities" dare to say "Ya think?" Will there be reprisals? Will further battles in the war for an independent Khalistan be fought not in India but in Canuckistan? Will Canada's Minister of Defence -- a Sikh -- order Canadian troops into Mississauga and Brampton to keep the peace? Stay tuned!

VIDEO: Please help find a cure for little Justin's problem

I know, I know... WWW has had a lot of stuff about Canadian politics lately. Like there's nothing going on in American politics? Like anybody cares about Canada? Really though, things are heating up in the Great No-longer-white North. Canucks are fed up, not just with winter but with their Liberal leaders in both Ottawa (the country's capital) and Toronto (the city that thinks it's the country's capital... or maybe the country itself, since TROC doesn't matter.)

In Ontario, a provincial election is due in June. In anticipation thereof, the province's oxymoronic Progressive Conservatives have fallen into their traditional trap of forming a circular firing squad. There is now a fifth candidate in their unexpected leadership contest (see previous posts on Tanya Granic Allen), none other than Patrick Brown, who just got turfed out of the leadership, a victim of #MeToo, but has now been okayed to throw his batter chapeau back in the ring.

Meanwhile, alleged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been touring India, with his ultra-photogenic family in tow, all decked out in native costumes which the Indian meeja say are waaay over the top -- too Indian even for Indians. See "Trudeau family criticized for overdoing it on their traditional Indian outfits" (Global News, 21/2/18) and try not to gag at the pix of a white man gone native.

Worse for Hairboy are the stories, which contain more than a grain of truth, that he is sympathetic to Sikh separatists who are fighting to turn the Punjab into an independent homeland, which they call "Kalistan". Thanks to Trudeaus I and II, there are hundreds of thousands of Sikhs in Canada, huddled together in the suburbs of Toronto and Vancouver, from which they send lakhs of rupees back to India to fund the separatist cause.

They also turn out reliably to vote Liberal. There are four of them in Junior's cabinet, all of whom accompanied him on his visit to their Golden Temple at Amritsar. Another one, Jaspal Singh Atwal, has joined the group and was invited to a reception to be held by the Canadian High Commissioner to India, my good Mister Patel. One of Walt's favourite pundits, Terry Milewski, revealed yesterday that Mr Atwal was convicted of the attempted murder of Malkiat Singh Sidhu, another Sikh who was also an Indian cabinet minister, on Vancouver Island in 1986. How embarrassing! Mr Atwal has now been officially uninvited.

It becomes more evident every day that Justin Trudeau has problems. Jill Colton, a former lamestream media personality with a degree in communications and a diploma in broadcast journalism, now doing commentary on You Tube, has got to the root of Junior's personality disorder, and is starting a campaign to get some professional help for him. Here's her pitch.



Walt has only one thing to add... for now.
