Your Sikhs today: Brampton Mann in fraud schemes worth C$4.3 million

Meet the team of "trusted professionals" at PJ Mann Law Professional Corporation, a law firm based in Brampton ON, the capital of the government-in-exile of Khalistan.

You'll note that none of these "trusted professionals" is wearing a turban. And there's only one PoC, who isn't brown but black. That's odd, considering that PJ Mann LPC was founded (and until recently operated) by Pawanjeet Singh Mann, who Walt suspects may have been a sole practitioner. By that I mean, there was no team, just him... as far as Ed.'s research indicates. 

Who's running the practice -- which spcializes in immigration, visas and real estate -- now is a mystery. You see, Mr Mann is a former lawyer, having been disbarred by the Law Society of Ontario in July of 2025 after an LSO tribunal found him guilty of knowingly participating in a mortgage fraud scheme in 2019. 

Mr Mann is now facing multiple fraud charges after allegedly he orchestrated four separate schemes involving mortgage and cheque fraud that resulted in approximately C$4.3 million (over $3 million in real money) in losses.

Inspector Singh (no relation) of the Peel Region Police said the investigation began after the Fraud Bureau received multiple complaints between June and July alleging Mann was involved in fraudulent activity. Investigators allege Mann orchestrated four separate mortgage and cheque fraud schemes, causing approximately $4.3 million in losses to victims, many of whom were fellow Sikhs who trusted him because he was one of them.

He has been charged with four counts each of fraud over $5000 and possession of property obtained by crime, along with three counts of criminal breach of trust and two counts of uttering forged documents. If convicted he might be stripped of his citizenship (or permanent resident status if he hasn't yet become a citizen of Canuckistan) so as to be deported... but don't bet on it.

Your Sikhs today: Mississippi edition

Walt is aware  that it's not only Canada that has a problem with ubiquitous and iniquitous Sikh truck drivers -- many of them illegal aliens -- smuggling drugs and endangering other motorists. (WWW passim.)  The US of A is also plagued with them, although problems in America tend to be not so much with smuggling as with motor mayhem.

Case in point: On August 20th, the driver of an 18-wheeler struck and killed a pedestrian in Hinds County MS. According to @BorderHawk, Dedric Garrett, 36, exited his vehicle on I-20 just after 1330 when he was hit by a Freightliner tractor-trailer. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Mississippi Highway Patrol (MHP) identified the driver of the big rig as Sube Singh (not exactly as pictured), a 26-year-old resident of Fresno CA. He was not injured in the crash, and it remains unclear [Wut? Ed.] if he will face charges. 

The Department of Homeland Security confirms that Mr Singh is a citizen of India who has been in the US of A illegally for over eight years. 

A DHS statement says, "Border Patrol encountered Singh on November 19, 2017. He was released from ICE custody on bond on May 10, 2018, and is enrolled in an alternative to detention with a GPS monitor, 

"It is incredibly dangerous for illegal aliens, who often don’t know our traffic laws or even English, to be operating vehicles on America’s roads. [Duh! Ed.] DHS is aggressively working with its interagency partners to get illegal alien commercial drivers off the road."

The Daily Wire, which separately confirmed Mr Singh's status with the department, reported that he was wearing the federal tracker while driving the rig. Turning Point USA executive producer Andrew Kolvet wrote that Mr Singh is at least the fifth Indian national with the surname "Singh" tied to a deadly American crash.

Harjinder Singh killed three people on the Florida Turnpike in August of 2025. He was making an illegal U-turn. Two months later, Jashanpreet Singh ran his rig into stopped traffic on I-10 in Ontario CA, killing three. In July he was sentenced to four years and eight months imprisonment, "a slap on the wrist" according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

In May, California prosecutors charged Manvir Singh with vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run after a wreck that killed a 16-year-old boy and a 20-year-old man. DHS used the case to push Congress on Dalilah’s Law, which would stop states from handing commercial licenses to illegal aliens. 

Secretary Duffy recently finalized a rule shutting unqualified foreign drivers out of the commercial licensing system. In 2025 alone, federal officials blamed "non-domiciled drivers" for at least 17 fatal crashes and 30 deaths.

Walt sez: Diversity and wokeness are killing us. Remigration is the answer!

Your Sikhs today: Déjà vu all over again

Seems like just yesterday -- in fact it was over two months ago -- that we posted "Your Sikhs today: Blue Water Bridge edition" in which we reported how long-haul truck drivers, most of them graduates of the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving, routinely enter Canada from the US of A at the Blue Water Bridge which links Port Huron MI and Point Edward ON, smuggling large amounts of cocaine and other recreational drugs.

The Canadian authorities keep announcing seizures and arrests, pretending that they have the criminal activity of the Sikh drug lords under control, but the perps rarely get lengthy sentences and, in spite of often being in Canada illegally (as "foreign students" or "temporary workers" who've overstayed their ill-gotten visas) are almost never deported.

Almost every week we read yet another crime news story which gives the lie to the Liberal government of Canuckistan's claim that their border controls are effective. Here, in its entirety, is the Global TV News report of an incident which happened on August 13th. 

Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) says it has seized nearly 400 kilograms of suspected cocaine from a truck passing through the Ontario-US border. The seizure happened at the Blue Water Bridge port of Entry in Point Edward on Aug. 13, the CBSA said in a news release Tuesday.

A commercial truck was passing through when it was referred for secondary examination. It was then that officials allegedly found roughly 385 kilograms of suspected cocaine. The driver was arrested, and the RCMP charged them with importing a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.

That's it. That's all a major lickspittle media outlet had to say. Nothing about the nationality, race or religion of the unidentified truck drive. Nothing to identify which of the many iterations of Diversity Truck Lines owned the big rig. Fortunately, a small newspaper, the Sarnia Observer, dared to supply some details. To wit:

The driver, not identified in the [CBSA] news release, was charged with importing a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. Harinder Singh, 28, of Brampton, was arrested Aug. 13 in Point Edward and charged with importing cocaine and possessing cocaine for trafficking, court records show.

Singh has appeared in court in Sarnia multiple times since his arrest, records show. The charges have not been tested in court.

"This significant seizure of cocaine demonstrates the professionalism and expertise of border services officers working at the Blue Water Bridge port of entry," said Michael Prosia, CBSA regional director general for southern Ontario, in the release. "Every day, they are working with law enforcement partners to secure Canada’s border and prevent harm in our communities."

Walt sez: Oh, hahahahahahahaha.

VIDEO: Your Sikhs today: Brampton truckers edition

Walt has lost count of the number of times we've posted, stories (under our headline "Your Sikhs today") about the menace on roads across the US of A and Canada posed by students and graduates of the Singh School of Truck Driving.

Diversity Truck Lines, a portmanteau name encompassing hundreds of "chameleon carriers" operate unsafely (putting it mildly) on hundreds of long-haul routes, crossing US-Canadian border at entry points such as the Blue Water Bridge. 

In this video, Rebel News reporter David Menzies reveals that... wait for it... Brampton ON is the headquarters for dozens of these Sikh O&O companies. He goes to the registered address of LD Trans Line Ltd., which had its licence revoked by Ontario authorities in January for repeated countless safety violations and falsifying the number of hours drivers were on the road. 

 

If you want to read the report in print, click on "Ontario trucking company stripped of licence over safety violations". Mr Menzies asks a pointed and pertinent question. How long will it be until the same Singhs are back on the road under a different name. This one victory is only temporary.

VIDEO: Former Canuck minister warns of danger of mass immigration

The Hon. Stockwell "Doris" Day Jr is a former Canadian politician who served as leader of the Canadian Alliance from 2000 to 2001 and later as a member of the Conservative Party of Canada. He then held several cabinet portfolios under Prime Minister Steve Harpoon, including that of "Minister of Public Safety", and was widely seen as a prominent voice for social conservatives within the Conservative Party.

Mr Day emerged from his burrow six months late this year, with this dire warning for Canadians about the perils of admitting too many Third-Worlders who cannot or will not assimilate to their hosts' culture, bringing with them instead their barbaric cultural practices, which they expect the hosts to respect and adopt.

Don't think, dear reader, that just because you live in a country which is not entirely ruled by liberal elites [i.e. the US of A! Ed.] this doesn't apply to you. Listen up! 

There's just one thing wrong with Mr Day's message. You'll hear it right at the beginning when he says Canada is "not wide open." Sadly, it is! The invaders have prevailed, and Canada has become Canuckistan. 

Too late to ask  now, "How did they get it? What can we do to keep them out?" Whenever a raghead or burrhead wants to enter Canada, all he has to do is walk across the World's Longest Undefended Border TM at any "unauthorized crossing point" such as Roxham Road, near St-Bernard-de-Lacolle QC. 

Don't believe me? Here's a quote from "Federal Court cancels 'unreasonable' release order for accused murderer with alleged ties to the Bishnoi gang", National Post, 5/8/26. "According to court records, after spending some time in the U.S. and Mexico, Singh entered Canada by foot between ports of entry in Quebec in January 2025 and made a refugee claim." Yes, we have a photo!

The notorious Roxham Road border crossing -- the one the story referred to in the NP story -- has supposedly been closed now. A "No Entry" sign has been posted and there are no longer Mounties there to carry the bogus refugees' luggage (minimum tip $5 per bag). But there are "unauthorized entry points" all along the remaining 1000s of miles of open borders. Mr Day is quite right about what's going to happen... nooooo, what's happening already!

Your Sikhs today: Singh Uber all us

If you're ordering a ride from Uber, can you ask for a white, native-born driver? Wouldn't that be racist? 

Walt thinks such a question would be only prudent, considering the frequency of incidents like one which occurred in Burlington ON last month. 

Halton Region cops have charged an Uber driver -- Mandeep Singh -- after a woman was sexually assaulted twice in Burlington last month. 

Inspector Singh (no relation) said the woman was in the parking lot of the Burlington GO station on June 16th at 1715 when a driver approached her. During their conversation, the driver allegedly sexually assaulted the woman. 

Police said the victim left [presumably on foot. Ed] but the driver followed her to a nearby business, where he allegedly sexually assaulted her for the second time. 

The driver was later identified as 25-year-old Mandeep Singh, a graduate of the Singh School of Truck Driving who was employed as an Uber driving at the time. Police said he was arrested on Sunday, and has been charged with two counts of sexual assault. 

We are unable to get any information about the terms on which he was released from bail. He may be driving a ride-share vehicle somewhere in the Grerater Toronto Area [sikh] right now. Police are concerned that there may be additional victims, so if you see him, call 1-888-222-SIKH immediately!.

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

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.

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! 

Your Sikhs today: Queensland, Australia edition

Imagine how long we've waited for a story we could dateline "Toowoomba"! Today we have one, proving (if nothing else) that the US of A and Canada are not the only countries plagued with Sikh immigrants -- legal or otherwise -- who refuse to conform to the social and cultural norms of their host countries. 

The second "A" in the AABC countries -- the first being America -- is Australia, which gets its share (and more) of students and graduates of the internationally notorious Singh School of Truck.

Meet Dharminder Singh, 48, a taxi driver [See? What'd I tell ya! Ed.] accused of killing his former partner four months after the birth. Jana Armstrong, 30, was last seen at a unit on Gordon Avenue in the Toowoomba suburb of Newtown, south-east Queensland, last Tuesday. 

Her white Hyundai Kona was found in the middle of the road on the corner of Jellicoe Street and Gordon Avenue early on Wednesday, sparking a search that came to an end on Saturday night when her body was found by pig hunters in steep bushland an hour's drive north of Toowoomba. 

Mr Singh, a native of India, was arrested on Sunday morning and appeared by video link in Toowoomba Magistrates Court today. He now faces additional charges of arson and breach of bail, proving, if nothing else, that the Australian "justice" system is just as lax and alien-friendly as that of Canada.

Defence lawyer Ramli Salehkon, from Toowoomba Multicultural Legal Services, told the magistrate that his client is too "distressed" to enter a  plea at this time, and will not do so until a brief of evidence was provided to the court. In other words, "He'll place his bet after he sees your cards." Mr Salehkon added, "My client has co-operated with police investigation… [and] asserts his innocence. This matter will be defended."

Your Sikhs today: Canucks order one (1) (only) criminal Singh deported

Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board (comprised of card-carrying Liberals in need of work) finally said the quiet part out loud on Friday, admitting that extortion gangs who prey on "south Asians", rely on Indians, mostly Sikhs, living in Canada on "temporary" student and work visas.

The totally unsurprising admission came in an explanation for an order of deportation Jashandeep Singh (not exactly as pictured), described as a "bottom-tier" associate of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang in Edmonton.

While the top leaders of the Bishnoi gang were charged with racketeering this week, this Jashandeep Singh -- not to be confused with the dozens of "Jashandeep Singhs" whose pictures may be found on the Internet -- is among the lower-level suspects authorities have opted [not "been pressured"? Ed.] to expel from Canuckistan.

Like many in the Bishnoi gang, Mr Singh came to Canada on a student visa. He said his parents borrowed money to send him to an Edmonton college in 2022 so he could have a brighter future. But he acknowledged he "made a mistake" by joining the gang, where he became a "soldier", subordinate to a mid-level member named Arshdeep Singh.

At his immigration hearing, a police officer testified that Mr Singh was caught on video holding a gun that was used in an extortion shooting in Surrey BC on 19 May 2025. In the footage, Mr Singh aimed the handgun at the head of another Singh man. 

According to police, he was present when the same weapon was fired in Edmonton a few hours later. He later hid the gun so police would not find it. However, a different firearm was later found during a police search of the home he shared with roommates.

Testifying in his defence (with the help of a Punjabi interpreter, of course), Mr Singh denied being a gang member and denied hiding any guns. He said the videos were filmed at Arshdeep Singh's birthday celebration. He said Arsedeep was a friend and they had met at school. He claimed he was intoxicated at the time the videos were recorded, after consuming marijuana gummies, and was only joking around when he picked up Arshdeep’s gun and held it to someone’s head.

However, the IRB said in its decision that Mr Singh was not a credible witness and his statements to investigators contained "numerous inconsistencies." So the deportation order was made. Whether it will actually be carried out is a different question. Walt predicts Jashandeep Singh will still be in Canada a year from now. Lifetime pct .987.

Further reading: "House arrest for temporary resident guilty of sexual assault", Prince George (BC) Citizen, 9/7/26. Karandeep Singh came to Canada from India on a "temporary" visa in 2023 and works as a security guard. He pled guilty to sexual assault and got 170 days house arrest, followed by 18 months probation. Whether or not he will be deported after that... see previous paragraph.

Your Sikhs today: Canada-wide "For Brothers" edition

Here's a story that has been widely reported in the lickspittle meeja in the Greater Toronto and Edmonton areas, who have somehow omitted names and pictures or anything other than names that would identify the accused as Sikhs. What follows is the report as published by the Edmonton Police Service.

[The EPS] has arrested Safaldeep Singh, who has suspected ties to an international criminal network known to target South Asian business owners and community members across Canada. 

On 4 May 2026, EPS Patrol officers conducted a traffic stop on a Dodge Charger following reports of dangerous driving. A search of the vehicle incident to arrest led to the seizure of controlled substances and a loaded firearm.

The three occupants, Safaldeep Singh, 22, Sandeep Singh, 28, and Divianshu Divianshu, 22, were arrested and charged with several drug trafficking and firearms related offences. 

Safaldeep Singh has suspected ties to the "For Brothers" gang, an organized criminal network linked to shootings and extortion which targeted South Asian business owners and community members across the Greater Toronto Area, Canada and the USA.

Two search warrants conducted at Safaldeep Singh's residence on 28 May 28 and 23 June 2026 resulted in the seizure of evidence consistent with vehicle re-vinning operations linked to extortion-related crimes. On 23 June 2026, Singh was apprehended and charged with trafficking in property obtained by crime, possession of stolen property and unauthorized possession of a firearm.

He was also arrested on Canada-wide warrants originating in Ontario for conspiracy to commit murder and extortion. After being processed on the EPS charges in Edmonton, he was transferred to Ontario to face the charges on his Canada-wide warrants.

Mr Singh is expected to have been released on bail by the time you read this. You'll notice that there is no mention of how Mr Singh and his co-religionists got into Canuckistan. Could it be that they are students at the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving? It appears that's something that will have to be  investigated by someone else.

Your Sikhs today: Divorce Sikh style

This is NOT our typical "Your Sikhs today" story involving drug smuggling, Diversity Truck Lines and the Singh School of Truck Driving. Rather it is a sad tale of a Sikh couple, Jagpreet Singh (51) and Balwinder Kaur (41)...

...whose marriage ended just six days after Mr Singh landed in Canada, sponsored by Ms Kaur. We should say the late Ms Kaur, as Mr Singh has now been found guilty by a British Columbia court of murdering her. Here's what happened. 

Mr Singh and Mr Kaur were married for over 20 years. They were the parents of two children who grew up in India with their parents. Their daughter moved to Canada as one of the 1000s of "temporary foreign students" welcomed by the Liberal government of former PM Blackie McBlackface. In a typical case of chain migration, Ms Kaur came to Canada in 2022 to "assist" [babysit? Ed.] her daughter.

Mr Singh arrived in mid-March of 2024. He had been in Canuckistan only six days when, on the fateful night, the couple went out to a gurdwara (temple) and later a mall. They returned around 2130, and within the hour Ms Kaur was stabbed. A neighbour arrived at their basement apartment in Abbotsford BC shortly thereafter and saw Ms Kaur motionless in a pool of blood, inside the doorway.

In her judgment, Madame Justice Andrea Ormiston of the BC Supreme Court wrote, "When police entered the home, Mr Singh was a few metres away from her, either seated or kneeling on or near the sofa in the living room." He was arrested immediately, at which time he "had a bump and a minor cut to his forehead that he agreed were caused in the course of his arrest. He also had a small abrasion, or a superficial cut to his left shoulder. Mr. Singh showed no signs of impairment or intoxication, nor was any such thing asserted by him in his evidence."

The police found two bloodied knives in the basement suite, which appeared to be kitchen cutlery, not the kirpan (small dagger) that all Sikh men wear at all time. Expert evidence, wrote the udge "confirms...that there were significant bloodletting events in this basement suite, and a trail of blood between the bathroom and the living room that indicates the source of blood was moving through various spaces in the suite."

In his statement to police, Mr Singh said an argument arose when Ms Kaur told him to get a job. In court, he testified that the conflict began when he "proposed sexual intimacy" (he did not say the actual words used) and was rebuffed by Ms Kaur.

Mr Singh said the dispute continued with him telling her to stay home from work so they could spend time together, but she refused. Judge Ormiston noted that evidence was presented in court that Ms Kaur had made statements indicating she was "afraid of Mr. Singh arriving and that she did not want him to come to Canada."

In court, Mr Singh admitted that the couple had a verbal conflict that turned physical. Wrote the judge, "Mr. Singh says he punched Ms. Kaur in the face.... When she left the room for the kitchen, he says he followed her to apologize and that he had calmed down, but she then brandished a knife." Mr Singh claimed he disarmed his wife and put the knife back in the drawer, but alleged that she continued to swear at him and took a knife out of the drawer a second time. 

He testified that when he made a second attempt to disarm her, "the knife made contact with his shoulder and he became angry. He Singh says he accidentally poked her with the knife in her stomach."

Mr Singh maintained that he had no memory of Kaur receiving fatal injuries, but an autopsy showed that his wife died of significant blood loss caused by seven stab wounds to her neck and chest. Judge Ormiston also noted that Mr Singh mentioned nothing about his wife brandishing a knife when he spoke to the police. Instead, he told them he didn’t know what happened after the argument.

Defence counsel urged the court to find that the accused blacked out with rage during the altercation, so that a conviction for manslaughter rather than murder would be just.The trial evidence focused on the issue of intent, specifically whether the Crown proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr Singh had the intent required to be convicted of murder.

Two witnesses testified that Mr Singh told them he had killed Ms Kaur, one testifying that he said, "I finished her off because she was deceiving me."

Judge Ormiston found Mr Singh's testimony "untrustworthy and unreliable [and] incapable of raising any reasonable doubt about murderous intent, about Ms Kaur provoking Mr Singh in the way he described, or about such provocation causing him to suddenly experience an overwhelming loss of control that is legally excusable." As well, on the issue of memory loss, the judge wrote that "there is no basis to find that Mr. Singh perpetrated an unremembered attack on Ms. Kaur."

The case of R v Singh will be back on the court docket on October 19th, by which time a psychiatric assessment is supposed to be completed, and presented as part of a sentencing hearing. Defence counsel is expected to suggest a sentence of less than six months, so that the wife-murdering Mr Singh will not be at risk of deportation.

Your Sikhs today: Surrey BC edition

Meet Arman Singh (left) and Simarjeet Singh, members of Surrey BC's large and growing Sikh community. They have been arrested and charged after a brazen early morning shooting in Surrey on June 11th.

According to Inspector Singh (no relation) of the Surrey constabulary, his minioins were called shortly after 0600 to a home near 96 Avenue and 133A Street after reports that shots were fired. When officers arrived, they could see the damage to the exterior of the home. While people were inside, no one was injured.

Surrey's Extortion Response Team (ExRT) took the lead on the investigation and on June 12th, they executed a search warrant at two homes in Surrey. Four men were arrested during the execution of the warrants. 

Arman Singh, 21, has been charged with one count of reckless discharge of a firearm. Simarjeet Singh, 22, has been charged with one count of reckless discharge of a firearm. Police said both men remain in custody and as both are foreign (read: Indian) nationals, officers have contacted the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) to find out how they got into Canuckistan. [Possibly students at the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving? Ed.]

The other two men arrested have not been charged with criminal offences at this time and are currently in the custody of CBSA who are giving them directions to the driver examination centere and welfare office.

Related statistics to ponder 

On Thursday, CBSA released new numbers, saying that since mid-June, they have opened 150 immigration investigations in the Pacific region, and issued 69 removal orders. Surprisingly, 49 people have actually been removed from Canada so far. 

Canada's Minister of Public Safety, Hon. Gary Anandasangaree (no relation) told the meeja that "Canadians deserve to feel safe in their homes, workplaces and communities. The government of Canada is working hard to stay ahead of increasingly complex international criminal threats like extortion." 

So far this year, Surrey police have received 128 extortion-related reports, including 20 shootings. Staff Sgt Singh told Global News, "Those numbers have thankfully come down a significant amount, where we are only seeing one or two shootings a month, but that is still one or two too many."

Walt sez: One or two Singhs is too many.

Your Sikhs today: Old Halifax druggie tries to murder his mother

Pictured above -- the one on the left -- is 58-year-old Satrajpal Singh Rai, a resident of Halifax NS, who seems to have problems with mind-altering substances and (perhaps) something of an Oedipus complex. He was convicted this week of attempting to murder his elderly mother by attacking her with a machete.

Mr Rai was held in custody since he was arrested just inside the door of a South Park Street apartment on 3 April 2024. When apprehanded shortly after midnight, he still had the machete in his hands, and his 80-year-old mother was on the hallway floor, covered in blood. Harbhajan Rai was so badly injured that responding officers at first thought she was dead. 

Mr Rai was charged with attempted murder, which, like murder requires a specific intent to kill. At his trial last year, the accused testified at trial last year that he was too impaired by cocaine and cannabis to be able to form that intent. Rather unusual for someone who was 56 years old at the time.

He conceded that he attacked his mother but said that at the time, he thought he was fending off a demonic being or entity that wanted to hurt him. He hadn't slept in three days, he said, and was lying on his mother’s bed when he heard voices outside the bedroom. When he rolled over, he saw the entity standing beside him holding a machete. 

But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), it gets better [or worse. Ed.] He said the entity had hair like Medusa, reptilian skin and yellow fangs for teeth. No wonder he didn’t recognize it was his mother! Mr Rai said the entity asked him a series of questions and he could not make out who it was. Fearing for his life, he said he grabbed the machete and began swinging.

He recalled moving into the hallway, falling down and scrambling to get up in fear that he would be killed. He told the court that he was yelling for help and trying to get to the door. He indicated that he was able to open the door, but that it started to swing closed. He then observed the police burst through the door. 

On cross-examination, Mr Rai admitted that as he swung the machete at the entity, which he now knows was his mother, he said, "Just die!" over and over again, like the alien in Independence Day. The Crown introduced evidence that about half an-hour before the assault, Mr Rai sent a text to his ex-wife in Dartmouth that said, "Pray for me and my mother." At trial, he swore that the text did not have a violent meaning but was just a request to pray that he and his mother would get through the worst of her schizophrenic conditions.

Judge Chris Manning said, "Mr Rai is indeed fortunate that the police arrived no later than they did, and a brilliant trauma team was assembled to save Mrs Rai’s life," said Hizzoner. The accused was the primary caregiver for his mother, who suffers from dementia, schizophrenia and memory loss. "She was the victim of a horrendous, brutal attack committed by her son...in the apartment that they shared. He utilized a machete, and the savagery and force ...resulted in massive injuries, including deep lacerations to her head and body, fractured bones, loss of teeth, and fingers were cut from her hands."

The judge stopped just short of calling bullshit on Mr Rai's defence, and found the drug-addled Sikh guilty of attempted murder, aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. He was sentenced only on the attempted murder charge. Mr Rai expressed remorse for his actions in his presentence report and in his plea to the court. The judge thought a sentence of 18-years in prison sentence would adequately address denunciation and deterrence while not losing sight of the possibility of rehabilitation. [sic!]

He deducted 1203 days as credit for remand time, leaving Mr Rai with a net sentence of about 14 years and 8.5 months before he can become, once again, the kind of citizen (or at least resident) which the Liberal government thinks make Canada a better place. As Emperor Trudeau II famously said, "Diversity is our strength".

If she's lucky, Mrs Rai will be 96 when her son gets out. No worries until then.

In the meantime, our friend Johnny Canuck would like to know: How did a drug-user like Mr Singh Rai and his aged and infirm mother get into Canada? As a "temporary foreign student" perhaps? Or a "temporary foreign worker"? Or maybe a "refugee" or asylum-seeker? How long have these parasites been in Canuckistan? Who supports them? No prizes for guessing the answer to the last question.

Your Sikhs today: Blue Water Bridge edition

The Blue Water Bridge is a twin-span international bridge across the St. Clair River, linking Port Huron MI and Point Edward ON. It connects both the I-69 and I-94 in Michigan with the King's Highway 402 in Ontario for a straight and fast shot to Toronto, the de facto capital of Canuckistan.

The border crossing point into Canada, being notoriously under-staffed by the Canadian Border Services Agency, has become the entry point of choice for drug smugglers concealing cocaine, fentanyl and other mind-blowing substances in the nooks and crannies of big rigs operated by such companies as Diversity Truck Lines.

As you would expect, most of the truck drivers are students or graduates of the infamous Singh School of Truck Driving. Many of them are in the USA/Canada illegally. Many of them have driver's licences which are fake or obtained by bribery. Many of them do not speak or read English. Almost all of them, being Sikhs, have "Singh" as part or all of their names. All of them are a menace on the roads. 

Case in point: Postmedia reports that 133 pounds of cocaine headed for Canada were intercepted recently by the US Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Field Operations near the aforementioned bridge. CBP officers, after selecting a truck for inspection, discovered 55 shrink-wrapped bricks of a white powdery substance concealed within two cardboard boxes. The cargo was later confirmed to be cocaine. 

The drugs, truck and trailer have all been seized and the driver, an Indian national, is facing federal prosecution. His name was not released but your dollar gets  you 100 of Walt's if you can prove it isn't Singh. Send your bet to the usual address.

Another case in point: Yesterday, in a courtroom in nearby Sarnia ON, another turban-wearing trucker accused of smuggling $4 million in cocaine across the Blue Water Bridge testified that someone must have done something evil while he was in the washroom in a company yard for 10 to 15 minutes.

Ranjit Singh saw a mysterious man in a company truck yard while his trailer was unattended. Mr Singh, also an Indian national, pleaded not guilty this month to importing cocaine and possessing cocaine for trafficking.

On 26 April 2024, the CBSA discovered over 18 pounds of cocaine worth between $3.6 million and $4.8 million in two Home Depot boxes in a tractor-trailer on the Canadian side of the bridge.

Speaking through a Punjabi interpreter [See? What did I tell ya?], Mr Singh claimed he was told to go to a trucking company’s yard in Lansing MI and switch trucks with another driver. The switch never happened, but while he was there and the two drivers got food, he saw a third person in the yard neither of them knew. He couldn’t describe the man because it was dark at the time.

Mr Singh testified he went to the washroom there for 10 to 15 minutes [Perhaps he needed a laxative?] and couldn't see the back of his trailer during this time. When he returned, he didn't check the seals on his trailer before leaving. 

He didn’t dispute that drugs were found in the truck but claimed someone else put them there in the Home Depot boxes. Nor did he know about two duffel bags found in the truck. He also denied having financial troubles and swire that no-one [especially no-one named Singh or Wedding] approached him about bringing the dope over the border. The trial continues.

VIDEO: Canuck judges go easy on Singh School of Truck Driving killers

Q, What happens to an Indian Sikh if he takes his driver's licence test three times and fails every time?

A. He gets to move to Canada as a "foreign student" or "temporary foreign worker".

Then, all to often, this happens. You'll find the name of the transport driver [Not "Singh", shurely! Ed.] below.

Why yes, Ed. it is Singh. (All Sikh men are Singhs, although not all Singhs are Sikhs.) And the driver who caused this horrific crash is one is just one of dozens of Sikhs who have been treated with extreme lenience by Canadian judges in spite of the carnage they cause on the highways of the Great No-longer-white North. 

Why do they get special treatment? Because if they got jail terms of 6 months or more, they would be liable to be deported -- sent back to the Punjab (or "Khalistan", as they would have it) -- once they've done their time. Notice I say "liable". There is no guarantee that they would actually have to leave Canuckstan, since only 3% of deportation orders are ever carried out.

Earlier this month, Ontario trucker Sukhwinder Sidhu was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in jail for a similar collision in which he plowed his rig into cars stopped at a construction site, killing former Canadian ice dancer Alexandra Paul. 

Two weeks ago, a Thunder Bay ON judge granted an absolute discharge to another Indian, Ajitpal Singh, who caused a fatal head-on collision with another trucker. Mr Singh's sentence was explicitly made light so that he would avoid deportation to India. 

This past January, Lovepreet Singh was sentenced to nine months in jail for driving his truck at full speed into a Toyota Corolla slowing for a construction zone.  A brother and sister trapped inside the burning car were killed.

In April of this year, a Federal Court judge deferred the deportation of Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, the trucker who killed 16 members of the Humboldt Broncos hockey team in 2018 by speeding through a stop sign.  Mr Sidhu who served three-and-a-half years of an eight year sentence for the crash, and was ordered deported, but the judge -- a Liberal appointee like almost all judges in Canada -- granted a 17-month pause in deportation proceedings so that Mr Sidhu would have time to seek a permanent stay of deportation on "humanitarian and compassionate" grounds. 

Also in April, a BC judge gave 90 days of house arrest to trucker Dalvir Singh Jhattu for a 2023 crash that, according to police, could have easily have killed multiple people. Jhattu drove his tractor trailer at full speed into a tow truck that was in the midst of attaching a Mercedes that had been impounded by the RCMP. That's the crash shown in the video.

The latest incident of judicial insanity occurred this week in Kamloops BC, when Harpreet Singh pleAded guilty to driving without due care and attention in an April 2024 crash where his tractor trailer crossed the centre line and collided with a CN Rail work truck. Both vehicles exploded in flames after colliding. 

Harpreet Singh came to Canada from India in 2023, the year before the collision. One of those who met a fiery death was his passenger, Dharminder Singh. Also killed was Juver Balmores, a CN Rail employee and father of three.

Astonishingly, Crown prosecutors did not pursue criminal charges against Mr Singh, agreeing instead to a fine of C$2000 (about $1460 in real money) and 18 months of probation. Will he be deported? Will he at least be banned from driving for life? Chances are two -- slim and none.

UPDATED: Your Sikhs today: Halifax NS edition - mother of dead baby has died without speaking to police

First the facts, just the facts. Two people charged with concealing the body of a child and indignity to human remains appeared virtually in provincial court in Halifax NS today Monday. Sukhpreet Singh, 23, and his wife Ramandeep Kaur, 26, are also charged with resisting a peace officer and obstruction of justice. 

The Crown prosecutor, Paul Carver, told the court "The mother of the deceased newborn is currently in critical condition and unresponsive in the hospital." He asked for a three-day adjournment because of the "potential for additional very serious charges under these circumstances." Mr Singh and Ms Kaur remain in custody pending a bail hearing on Thursday.

The charges stem from an urgent search and investigation over the weekend for a missing newborn baby, whose remains were eventually found in a wooded area in the Goodwood NS region. Halifax Regional Police said they were first called at around 9:40 p.m. Friday about a woman in life-threatening condition who "appeared to have just given birth." 

An extensive search was launched by police and Nova Scotia Ground Search and Rescue, who combed the area around an apartment building in Halifax’s Clayton Park neighbourhood. That search continued overnight and through Saturday. Police said remains were discovered Sunday afternoon in a wooded area off Old Coach Road, 6 miles from the initial search site.

Constable Martin Cromwell told reporters today that the initial call was made through 911, although he couldn’t say who made the call. The woman was taken to hospital by ambulance from an apartment on Willett Street; however, the baby was not located. 

Four people, all known to the woman, were initially taken into custody for questioning. Halifax police said two were released and Mr Singh and Ms Kaur were charged. Mr Singh is described as a "relative of the woman."

An autopsy will be held to determine the cause and manner of death. PC Cromwell said it's unclear whether the baby was born alive. He said the woman's condition is still very serious, and investigators haven't been able to speak to her. 

Comment from Google AI: Sex-selective abortion is a deeply rooted practice driven by a strong cultural preference for sons. It remains an acute issue in parts of South Asia, such as India, and persists among certain diaspora communities in Western countries, resulting in skewed male-to-female birth ratios.

Further reading: "Over 23 million girls killed by sex-selective abortion", The Christian Institute, 21/5/19.

Update added 28/5/26: Halifax police announced yesterday that the 23-year-old woman who arrived in hospital last Friday in critical condition after giving birth has died. An investigation into the deaths of a woman and her newborn baby will be "challenging", the cops said. 

A spokesthingy said police investigators didn’t get a chance to interview the mother, who was described by a Crown prosecutor earlier this week as "unresponsive". Two people charged in connection to the discovery of the newborn's remains will remain in custody after a bail hearing did not proceed.

Sukhpreet Singh, 23, and his wife Ramandeep Kaur, 26, are each charged with concealing the body of a child, indignity to human remains and two counts of obstruction of justice. 

Ms Kaur's lawyer appeared on her behalf in court on Thursday, while Mr Singh played the "no speak English" card when he appeared via video with a Punjabi interpreter. Police have previously said Mr Singh is a "relative" of the baby's mother. The pair did not seek bail and will return to court on June 22nd.

Your Sikhs today: (mostly) Brampton ON edition

Here are photos of seven men Brampton ON police call the "For brothers network".

You'll see their bearded pusses again in this photo lineup of 17 miscreants.

They are: Iqbal Singh Bhagria, 25, of Brampton, Akashdeep Singh, 24, of Norval, Ravinder Singh, 25, of Surrey, BC, Jashanbir Singh, 21, of Surrey, BC, Dilawarpreet Singh, 26, of Brampton, Mandeep Singh, 21, of Brampton, Prabhdeep Sohal, 22, of Brampton, Partapbir Ghuman, 22, of Brampton, Ajaydeep Singh, 29, of Brampton, Navroop Singh, 24, of Brampton, Rajan Singh, 28, of Barrie, Amritjot Singh, 22, of Brampton, Jashanpreet Singh, 22, of Brampton, Guneet Guneet, 27, of Brampton,Sukhwinder Singh, 32, of Brampton, Mohinder Singh, 30, of Brampton and Gautam Gautam, 22, of Manteca, California. [How did that last one get in there? Ed.]

Apart from their beards, what do you suppose these 17 men have in common?.....I'm sure you're way ahead of us on this one but here's the answer. They are all Sikhs and all are originally from south Asia, or India, to be precise. [What happened to diversity being Canada's strength? Ed.]

Not much, and all accused by Peel Regional Police of being involved in the extortion of innocent business people -- mostly compatriots and co-religionists -- for cash as part of a "pay up or you pay the price" criminal enterprise.

In recent months 324 gunshots were fired into two dozen Peel residences or businesses. The 17 men just arrested face 106 criminal charges over 24 incidents, of which16 are linked to the "For Brothers" network. The charges include arson and multiple shootings, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, breaches of court orders, and drug-related offences. Police also seized six firearms, illicit drugs, cellphones, SIM cards and fraudulent IDs.

Inspector Singh (no relation) of the Peel police told the meeja "The organized criminal network is allegedly responsible for a series of targeted attacks against the Region of Peel's South Asian community. They are believed to have been active in Brampton, Mississauga, Caledon, and British Columbia, with links to California." Sources say one of those charged -- Sukwinder Singh -- is also wanted in India for an attempted murder. 

Only two (count `em -- 2 out of 17) of the alleged perps are permanent residents of Canada. The others range from visitors to "temporary" workers.* Some are said to have already been kicked out of Canuckistan and many will also face deportation hearings. 

Brampton mayor Patrick Singh Brown commented, "Talk about a complete failure of border security when you have 17 (alleged) foreign criminals terrifying a community and committing violent acts. All should be deported yesterday. There is no way this should be allowed to happen." Duh, eh.

Of course a hearing doesn't guarantee deportation. A Sikh student of the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving who took out most of a Saaskatchewan hockey team in a horrific crash some years ago is still in Canada, pleading to be allowed to remain "on humanitarian grouns". And, as reported in WWW passim, Sikh criminals have become adept in claiming asylum, saying their lives would be in danger if they were returned to the "Khalistan" which they love so dearly.

* Footnote: Tim Hortons, the iconic Canadian coffee 'n' donuts chain, today announced that it would be ending its use of the "temporary" foreign worker scheme, saying it was "no longer necessary."

Your Singhs today: British Columbia double murder edition

For some time, "Your Sikhs today" has been a standing headline on WWW. Every day we receive tips and leads to news of crimes -- criminally dangerous driving, extortion, arson, drug smuggling, and murder -- committed by Sikhs living (legally or otherwise) in our countries. All Sikh men bear "Singh" as a surname or middle name.

As I said, we receive such news every day, but Ed. declared a moratorium on posting such, not because we cavil at fanning the flames of anti-Sikh sentiment (especially in British Columbia and Ontario) but because our readers are getting bored, as witness the declining number of "hits" on such articles. Today's story, however, is so horrific that it cannot pass unnoticed.

Yesterday, three Sikhs men from Surrey BC were found guilty of killing an Abbotsford BC senior couple in their home. Pictures of the murderous Singhs are hard to find. Some meeja outlets have confused them with the "Surrey 3" implicated in the 2023 assassination of Sikh extremist leader Hardeel Singh Nijjar. So Ed. has inset a court artist's drawing into a photo of their victims.

In a crime reminiscent of the movie In Cold Blood, the elderly couple, Arnold and Joanne De Jong, were murdered in their Abbotsford home in May of 2022 by Abhijeet Singh, Gurkaran Singh, and Khushveer Singh Toor. 

Dismissing the "botched robbery" defence put forward at trial, Justice Brenda Brown accepted the Crown's argument that the three men were motivated by "debt, financial pressure and greed" when they  planned the home invasion and murders.

Evidence was presented during the trial that they used the De Jongs' credit cards, driver's licence and cheques to make purchases, pay off debt, withdraw cash and send money to relatives in India. Said the judge, "I’m satisfied that the murders of both victims were carefully planned, deliberated and executed. I’m satisfied that each accused is guilty of first-degree murder."

The bodies of the De Jongs were discovered on the morning of 9 May 2022 in their home on a rural road in east Abbotsford. Arnold De Jong owned two trucking companies and was a stereotype of the rich farmer portrayed stories like In Cold Blood. 

The court heard that Joanne De Jong, 76, was found in her bed with her hands and feet tied by rope and surrounded by a “significant amount” of blood. A pathologist determined she had died as a result of "sharp-force trauma" – stab wounds to her neck, possibly caused by a screwdriver – and "blunt-force trauma" to her head, possibly inflicted by a hammer. 

Arnold De Jong, 77, was also found in bed – in a separate bedroom – with his hands and feet also bound, and his entire head and face tightly wrapped in duct tape. His cause of death was determined to be asphyxiation due to smothering. 

The court heard that the three Sikhs, who all lived together in Surrey BC, knew the De Jongs because Abhijeet Singh owned and ran a cleaning company, and the two others worked for him. They had done work at the De Jong home in July 2021 and April 2022. 

The Crown had argued that all three should share culpability no matter who inflicted the mortal injuries. Each of the defence lawyers argued that the killings were not premeditated – a requirement of first-degree murder – and that there was no evidence to directly link their client to the murders. The defence lawyers each argued that their clients might have participated in the home invasion, but they were not involved in the actual killing.

Justic Brown said, "The suggestion that anyone in the house would not have been aware of what was going on is unrealistic, and I reject any evidence suggesting otherwise." Both Abhijeet Singh and Khushveer Singh Toor had cleaned the De Jong residence a month before the killings, the judge found, and knew they would be recognized by the couple during the robbery. "Because of this, they could not leave the De Jongs alive at the conclusion of the home invasion. Even if the invaders were masked, the police would likely be able to learn their identities in short order."

Victim impact statements will be heard later this month. Under Canadian law, the murderous Sikhs will be sentenced to life imprisonment with no chance of parole for 25 years. However, our legal expert reminds us, there is a loophole -- the "faint hope" clause in the Criminal Code -- which says parole eligibility hearings may be held earlier in certain cases. 

What if the Singhs raise the argument that they are actually political prisoners, since they were raising money to help in the fight for a Free Khalistan? Don't dismiss the possibility that a typically liberal Canadian adjudicator might just buy that!
