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: 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 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!

The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) has apparently become aware that it's getting a bad rep [a "woke" rep too! Ed.] for not deporting the 1000s of illegal immigrants convicted of crimes in Canada. A disproportionate number of these are gentlemen of the Sikh faith, who have for years been involved with cross-border drug smuggling via Diversity Transport.

More recently, dozens of the turban-winders have been implicated, some being charged and (remarkably convicted), in extortion, arson and even murder of Sikhs and other south Asians, notably in Brampton ON and Surrey BC.

Theoretically, anyone who is not a Canadian citizen who is convicted of a crime carrying a sentence of more than six months, may be ordered deport. "Permanent residents" are not exempt, and in severe cases even a naturalized citizen can be ordered to go back to India or Pakistan or wherever he came from.

Indeed many deportation orders have been issued. But (Walt hears you ask) how many have actually been enforced. Well, on Wednesday the CBSA went public with an update on its crackdown and response to extortion-related shootings. Here's the report, complete with pictures of two Singh's who have actually been sent home from Canuckistan, from Global TV News.

To put in print what's in the video, CBSA said it has been monitoring immigration cases that have been potentially linked to extortion cases since August. As of 12 March, it has opened 372 immigration investigations, issued 70 removal orders and removed 35 people from Canada. 

In the Pacific region, the CBSA says it has issued 34 removal orders and removed 25 people. The agency highlighted the recent deportations of two people, Arshdeep Singh [Arshdeep in shit, eh!] and Sukhnaaz Singh Sandhu, saying both men were linked to organized crime and removed from Canada earlier this year. For some reason, the country to which they have been remigrated has not been named.

Walt sez: Good riddance to them! When are the remaining 44 going to be frog-marched onto an Air India (or Air Pakistan) plane?  And what about the 100s now the guests of His Majesty (and Canadian taxpayers) at crowbar hotels across the Great No-longer-white North? Eh?

Another gem from JayGen Xer, the guy responsible for the "Seen somewhere in...Canada" vids, originally seen on Blazing Cat Fur and reposted here a couple of days ago. Scroll down to see `em.

Be careful, though, your dealings with the proprietors of the Singh School of Truck Driving and other Sikh-owned businesses, not just in Brampton but in Surrey BC, Edmonton AB and other immigrant-friendly cities across Canada. As this article from Canada's Global TV News reveals, they are not alone, and they are dangerous.

Many thanks to the good folks at Blazing Cat Fur for boosting Walt's rundown battery.

Your Singhs today: Surrey BC edition

Today's episode of True Crime comes to us from Surry, which is to British Columbia as Brampton is to Ontario -- majority Sikh shitholes, the both of them.

On the day before Ground Dog Day (as it is known in certain eating establishments), three men were arrested in connection with an extortion-related shooting in Surrey. They are: Harjot Singh, 21, Taranveer Singh, 19, and Dayajeet Singh Billing, 21. 

All three Sikhs have been charged with one count of discharging a firearm into a place. 

Inspector Singh [Ed. Please check.] of the Surrey police said that on February 1st, members assigned to Project Assurance were patrolling in Surrey's Crescent Beach neighbourhood when reports came in around 0350 of shots fired and a small fire outside a home near Crescent Road and 132 Street.

The three accused were arrested by SPS officers a short time later near 28 Avenue and 140 Street after getting into a rideshare vehicle, driven by a fellow wearing a turban. 

Inspector Singh {Ed.???] said the investigation is ongoing and additional charges may be laid. The three Singhs have been remanded in custody until February 5th, when they are expected to be released on bail following the customary pledge not to leave the country. Police said they are all foreign nationals and that they have engaged the Canada Border Services Agency... whatever that means.

According to Surrey police, since the beginning of 2026, there have been 46 reported extortion cases in Surrey, with 11 shots fired, one arson case and 29 victims, 17 of whom are repeat victims. Yesterday, concerned residents and community members held yet another rally to raise awareness about the rise in extortion-related incidents.

Some of the questions asked (but not answered) at the rally are: Of what country are these Singhs nationals? How did they get into Canada... as "temporary skilled workers", or possibly as students of the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving? Once they have felt the limp-noodle wrath of Canadian justice, will they be deported... or will they be allowed to remain in the Great No-longer-white North "on humanitarian grounds"?

Don't bother staying tuned. You already know the answers.

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 (anti-terrorism edition)

Just two years after his predecessor was gunned down in the Sikh-majority city of Surrey BC, the leader of Sikhs for Justice in Canada was arrested in Oshawa ON this past Friday on a dozen firearms charges. Inderjeet Singh Gosal, 36, seen here exercising his First Amendement rights at the Indian High Commission in Ottawa on September 11th

was charged with crimes including illegal possession and careless use of a prohibited handgun for purposes dangerous to the public peace. Arrested with him were Arman Singh, 23, of Toronto, and Jagdeep Singh, 41, a resident of New York.

Mr Gosal had replaced Hardeep Singh Nijjar as a primary organizer of Sikhs for Justice in Canada, a group that petitions and campaigns for a state they would call "Khalistan", separate from India. Four men allegedly linked to Mr Nijjar's murder are in custody awaiting trial. [What? No bail for them? Ed.] 

In a statement, Sikhs for Justice said Mr Gosal’s arrest is "in fact a case about the Canadian government’s duty to protect the life of a Canadian citizen." Mr Gosal told Bloomberg News earlier this month that Canadian authorities had repeatedly warned him his life was at risk, and he declined an offer of witness protection. 

Sikhs for Justice is banned in India and Indian media outlets described Gosal as a terrorist. The Liberal government of Canuckistan, which relies heavily on the Sikh vote in Peel Region ON and Surrey region BC -- see WWW passim -- has not designated a terrorist organization in Canada and it asserts its activities are peaceful and legal. 

Canada’s national security adviser, Nathalie Drouin, traveled to India and met with her counterpart, Ajit Doval, on Thursday. She said in a statement they discussed their respective security concerns and committed to non-interference including refraining from transnational repression. No-one from any level of government was available for comment on Mr Gosal's arrest. Nor has any answer been given to Walt's question about a possible link between this arrest and the events detailed in "Your Singhs today -- What's going on here?", WWW 4/9/25.

Your Singhs today (Peel Region edition)

Around 0200 on April Fool's Day, a 22-year-old motorist lost control of his Mazda 3 and smashed into a pole in Mississausage ON, killing his passenger. 

Peel Regional Police say the Mazda was travelling north along Erin Mills Parkway when it collided with a silver Jeep which was making a left turn onto Vista Boulevard, about two kilometres south of Britannia Road. Following that collision, the Peelers say, the Mazda careened down the road and collided with a hydro pole. 

The driver and a passenger in the Mazda were transported to the hospital with serious injuries where the passenger, a 20-year-old man, died. The driver of the Jeep was not seriously injured.

This weekend -- more than five months after the tragic events -- the cops finally laid charges (dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death; operation while impaired by drugs causing death, and racing a motor vehicle) against... wait for it... Armaan Singh Gill, of Mississauga.

In spite of the DUI charge, the report of the incident published this weekend in the Toronto Sun, is headlined "Speed allegedly a factor in deadly Mississauga crash, motorist charged". The deadly driver simply as "Armaan Gill". No mention is made of his possible connection with the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving.

Note from Ed.: The picture above does not show Armaan Singh Gill. It may not even be a Singh of the Zodiac. 👳😄

Meanwhile, today's Peel Regional Police blotter announces that the last of three men wanted for extortion after homes were shot at in Brampton earlier this summer has been nabbed in Canada's Lalaland on the West Coast.

On July 10th and 11th, the Peelers say, gunshots were fired at residences in the area of Rolling Acres Drive, in the Mississauga Road and Queen Street West area of Brampton. Police released video -- reposted right here on WWW -- of the brazen crime showing one man firing a gun while a second appeared to be filming him on a cellphone. The suspects were seen fleeing in a black Chrysler 300, which was recovered in Winnipeg on July 13th.

On July 27th, Husandeep Singh, 20, of Mississauga, was charged with one count each of extortion and discharge firearm with intent. Canada-wide warrants were issued for two other suspects, and on Aug. 26th, Peel cops arrested Gurpreet Singh, 23, of no fixed address, in Winnipeg. He was charged with two counts of discharge firearm with intent and one count of extortion. 

And now (September 12th), they felt the collar of the last suspect, Gurdeep Singh Shergill, 26, of Delta BC, in neighbouring Surrey, which has a population of Sikhs even larger than that of Brampton. He was charged with two counts of discharge firearm with intent and one count of extortion.

All three were held pending a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton. at which they are expected to be released to resume their vital work in Canada's cross-border transportation industry.

Sikhs wanted in Brampton, Ontario

The following message is presented as a public service.

Surrey BC and Brampton ON have the largest proportion of Sikhs of any cities in Canada. The Peel Region Police Department, whose jurisdiction includes Brampton, would like your help in locating the four Sikhs pictured above, wanted on charges of aggravated assault. Police have not disclosed what weapons were used in the assault, but may have been cricket bats.

They are: 22-year-old Aftaab Singh Gill, of no fixed address; 22-year-old Harmandeep Singh, of Brampton; 25-year-old Jatinder Singh, of Brampton; and 30-year-old Satnam Singh, of Brampton. Some or all of them may be in Canada on student visas, pursing their studies at the Singh School of Truck Driving.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of these four Sikhs is asked to contact PRPS 22 Division at 905-453-2121, ext. 2233, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Sikh terrorists: live by the kirpan, die by the kirpan

Thanks to Emperor Trudeau I (father of Blackie McBlackface), Canada is full of Sikhs. There are large communities in the suburbs of Toronto and Vancouver, particularly near the airports, where large numbers of them work as porters, bag monkeys, and (note) security guards.

The Sikhs are fighters, mostly members of the Jatt caste of peasant-warriors. As symbols of their faith, Sikh men wear turbans and special underpants. They sport full beards and carrry (usually not openly) a curved dagger or knife called a kirpan that symbolizes their readiness to fight for their land -- aka the Punjab -- and their Sikh religion.

Ever since the British quit India, militant Sikhs have been fighting (word carefully chosen), from bases in such places, for an "independent Khalistan".

If you were a Sikh extremist and wanted to do something dramatic to advance the cause of "free Khalistan", a simple yet terrifyingly effective thing to do would be to blow up a plane -- preferably an Air India -- full of non-Sikhs. And a Canadian airport where 1000s of your countrymen are employed, like YYZ or YVR, would be the ideal place in which to load the device.

That's what the RCMP, FBI, Interpol and other law enforcement agencies figure happened in June of 1985, when  Air India Flight 182, a B747 operating on the Montreal–London–Delhi–Mumbai route, disintegrated in mid-air over the Atlantic, en route from Montreal to London, as a result of the explosion from a bomb planted by Canadian Sikh militants.

A shower of pieces of the airliner and its contents fell into the sea southwest of Ireland. The human contents -- everyone on board -- included 268 Canadian immigrants, 27 British citizens and 24 Indian citizens. The bombing remains the deadliest aviation "incident" in the history of Air India and the deadliest ever carried out on Canadian soil. 

Investigators found the attack was a part of a larger transnational terrorist plot and had included two attempted plane bombings. The first bomb was meant to explode aboard Air India Flight 301 which was scheduled to take off from Narita (Japan) International Airport, Japan but exploded before it was loaded onto the plane. The second bomb was the one which brought down Air India Flight 182. Both the plot and the bombs, which had been hidden inside luggage, originated in Canada.

After a lengthy and not very competent investigation -- complicated by the unwillingness of anyone to talk, even in Punjabi -- a handful of members of various Sikh organizations were arrested and tried. The only person convicted, however, was Inderjit Singh Reyat, a dual British-Canadian national and a member of the International Sikh Youth Federation. In 2003 (!), he pled guilty to manslaughter, admitting that he had made the bombs. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Among those who were acquitted (in March 2005) were a Surrey BC businessman, Ripudaman Singh Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri, both members of Babbar Khalsa, an organization whose goal is the creation of an independent Sikh state, Khalistan. (All Sikhs are Singhs, but not all Singhs are Sikhs!)

The Mounties said the two were part of a conspiracy of a group of Sikh militants who placed suitcase bombs on two connecting flights leaving Vancouver airport. The deadly bags were tagged for Air India flights heading in opposite directions, with the results described above. Who took the bags to the airport, or tagged them, or loaded them, was never established. Registering the acquittals on charges of murder and conspiracy, a BC Supreme Court judge told the Singhs that he didn't believe they didn't do it, but that the Crown had failed to prove its case. That's all.

The families of the victims of Air India 182 finally saw justice done, as Ripudaman Singh Malik, now aged 75, was shot to death as he sat inside his car outside his office in Surrey, at about 0930 yesterday. An investigation is under way, but is unlikely to result in any charges. The problem this time is too many suspects, too many people with good reason to want Mr Malik dead.

Retired RCMP deputy commissioner Gary Bass, who was in charge of the terrorism investigation into the Air India bombing, told the Notional Pest he knew Ripudaman Singh Malik had many enemies."I'm not privy to the ongoing investigations on Malik right now, but I can say that from years when I was that he was involved in a number of activities that might bring him into conflict with other people."

Acts of violence against prominent political/business figures usually call forth expressions of sympathy from others of that ilk, but there has been radio silence from Jugmeat Singh, the leader of Canada's "New" Democratic Party whose "free Khalistan" sentiments are well known. Also expected to not attend the funeral is Emperor Trudeau II (pictured), or any of the numerous Sikh Members of Parliament, none of whom can be reached for comment.
