A rumble rose from Dallas Road on Saturday as tens of the Sikh motorcyclists kick started their cross-Canada tour in support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“This is an exciting moment,” Malkiat Singh Hoonjan, the Legendary Sikh Riders’ road captain, told Black Press Media before they hit the road. “We’re here on the face of the Earth to help people, to help each other.”

The riders took off from the Mile 0 sign before heading a few minutes down Dallas Road, where they wet their wheels with some water from the Salish Sea. They’ll be on the road the for about a week and a half before they dip their tires into the Atlantic Ocean, near the Confederation Bridge, and turn around.

The Legendary Sikh Riders will be asking people to make donations to the Make-A-Wish Foundation as they roll across the nation. Each donation will support children from the province where the donation was made.

“We wanted to something for the children,” the road captain said. “Some chidren are not granted the quality of life that we have, so we would at least like to leave something for the kids.”

Singh Hoonjan was sporting a light-brown vest that was hand-stitched by an Indigenous woman. He pointed to two circles, one forming the Indigenous Medicine Wheel and another in the Sikh Khanda, within patches on the vest and said “we are all one, nature is all one, it doesn’t matter what colour you are, who you are, we’re all one.”

The motorcyclists have done rides to show support for the Indigenous community after the discovery of unmarked graves at former residential school sites. The Legendary Sikh Riders are also be riding in memory of the children who attended the institutions.

“We wanted to carry a piece of them with us,” Singh Hoonjan said.

Jo Bole So Nihal SatSriAkallllll!

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh. 

That is two of our favorite things here happening together.

More Canadian Sikhs need to get off their ar5e and make some noise about the horrors of what the indigenous have been facing. Give that bhangra giddha horseshyte a break for a second (as well as killing each other over drug deals).

What can be done?

The whole country agrees with what happened is beyond cruelty and they are too liberals now and do not believe in such hatred ideology (colonial mindset). While south of their border US is total different story and they need a big change.

You need to rub this stuff in gorays faces throughout the globe. If it were a bunch of jew childrens graves found, they'd have it all over the media for ages, but because these people aren't white, and the discovery also highlights just how dirtily savage these whites can be (which goes against their 'paragons of civility' narrative, they'll try and play it down. 

We should also remember that behind all the friendly facade, this is what they are like.  And also remember why Guru ji made shasters/ashters so important for us.
