Canada is a mosaic rather than a melting pot


Recommended Posts

 

In Canada, because all parties compete for all ethnic blocs, minorities do not tend to polarize into just one party. That leaves little incentive for tribalism, even as minority groups feel empowered to champion their ethnic or religious identity.

It's great if there are more Sikh people anywhere, but diversity is not really a solution it's more of a running away from the actual problems. We do not live in a world where culture doesn't matter, so we should not pretend like everyone else would assimilate or integrate well into society without making their own demands. Allowing extreme immigration in a Non-Sikh planet like ours or open borders will give benefits to no one. This Justin Trudeau may have some ideas by turning Canada into a white country to a non-white country, but if he can betray his own people so casually it will only lead to a downfall.

There is no way you can compare Canada to Sweden lol. Islamists and other refugees run wild there. Trudeau won't be around long enough to take us down that road as well. 

Do you think once these open door and irresponsible economic reform policies have been instigated the future successor of the current guy in charge will roll it all back? Once you set upon the global path there is no reversal. Of course not, bro.

You know how white Canadians have a reputation of being laid back to the point of being perhaps too compliant, even when they should maybe step forward and make their voices heard? Up until relatively recently they've been content to go with the flow, but from my observations based on various sources and the usual internet chatter (where under the guise of anonymity people are predisposed to say what they truly feel about issues that perhaps they would shy away from discussing truthfully, due to fears of ostracism in the workplace, friends, and family) from Canadian people of all political and social hues, there's a genuine concern and, if I'm being honest, the beginnings of a panic about where Trudeau is looking to take Canada. Will you go full Sweden? Not solely under Trudeau you won't, but if his ways are seen as a template instead of an aberration, you're looking at trouble within the next decade or so.

Obviously with you guys being on the ground over there your daily experiences might differ, but I hope you at least have one eye on the future. Don't get caught napping.

Lol we're not close to Sweden but belie me there are places in Canada (most notably Alberta, Montreal) where Muslims are running wild and have no regard for the law. There were riots couple years back between Arabs and Jews in which a jewish family including old man was beaten by a mob. Also some pakistani gang bangers made a music video and the comments were riddled with anti punjabi hate and mind you this was shot in a town with a majority punjabi population. Luckily though its mostly the Goreh on the receiving end of this gangs.
Truedue is passing a bunch of weird laws that appease minority communities like the anti Islamophobia law where criticizing Islam will result in hate speech and also the new law where if you call a trans person by the wrong pronoun (calling a transitioned female who was born male a he) you could go to jail.

Learn the law before you make statements that don't make sense or are a watered down version of what the law is. Just think for a second, how does a person know what gender a trans was before? Its not even negligent or willful blindness. Its a matter of the trans telling others what they want to referred to as and only becomes civil or criminal if they are discriminated on their gender identity.  Here lets stop the fear mongering with presenting what M-103 on islamphobia says as well:

MotionThat, in the opinion of the House, the government should: (a) recognize the need to quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear; (b) condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination and take note of House of Commons’ petition e-411 and the issues raised by it; and (c) request that the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage undertake a study on how the government could (i) develop a whole-of-government approach to reducing or eliminating systemic racism and religious discrimination including Islamophobia, in Canada, while ensuring a community-centered focus with a holistic response through evidence-based policy-making, (ii) collect data to contextualize hate crime reports and to conduct needs assessments for impacted communities, and that the Committee should present its findings and recommendations to the House no later than 240 calendar days from the adoption of this motion, provided that in its report, the Committee should make recommendations that the government may use to better reflect the enshrined rights and freedoms in the Constitution Acts, including the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj. 
    • best thing is to follow the Sikh Rehat Maryada and use common sense for gray areas. Anything outside of that's irrelevant tbh that code is what Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the 5 Pyaare agreed on when creating Amrit in 1699
