Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is defending a decision to speak at a Sikh separatist rally in 2015 where the stage he spoke on reportedly featured a portrait of the leader of a militant extremist group.
The news of his attendance at the event in San Francisco, Calif., and the presence of the photo of the extremist on stage was first reported Tuesday night by the Globe and Mail. Following questions from media, Singh posted a statement on the NDP website saying he condemned terrorism but felt he had a responsibility to speak about human rights abuses in connection with the 1984 raid by India police on Sikh militants occupying the Golden Temple in India’s Punjab province.
Three hundred people were killed in the raid, including the leader of the group behind the occupation, Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale.
It was his portrait that was displayed on the stage where Singh spoke at the rally in 2015.
Gee, I wonder why the Liberals decided to drop this now?
another sad and tragic example of multiculturalism’s corrosive effect on democracy. We place host to tribal warfare.
Peeair Trudeaus imposition of mult-cult tribalism working as intended. This is a nice deflection by the Trudeau Party and their Media. Mr. Dressup’s India trip which included a loyal Liberal supporter and terrorist was an international disaster therefore its time to point out that the Turban NDP guy likes terrorists too. Now I understand why the Media campaigned so vigorously for Mr. Turban, it makes PM Dumbshit look less radical… plus the Turban doesn’t stand a chance of winning in Quebec.
Singh likes terrorists… yeah, so what… so does Mr. Dressup and so did Mr. Dressups Daddy. Trudopia has a long tradition of electing and championing far left radicals and rewarding of terrorists. The FLQ were rewarded by Mr. Dressups old man, Peeair. Good old Peeair gave the FLQ every damn thing they demanded in their manifesto, none of them were ever actually punished and they were allowed to freely come and go from Canada as they pleased. The false narrative of little Peeair being “tough on the FLQ” exists till this day… Peeair wasn’t remotely tough on the FLQ, he more or less colluded with them in imposing the FLQ agenda while pretending to do the opposite. Trudopia is a country that celebrates having leaders that admire terrorists and murderous communist dictators, its part of the culture, a tradition. MR. Singh fits in well with the cultural norms and traditions of the imposed multi culti Trudopian State which includes rewarding terrorists and admiring brutal repressive dictatorships. Oh yeah, and Mr. Dressups excellent adventure to India was still a disaster.
maybe Jagmeats turdban was on too tight!!!
Pierre, Rene Levesque and Jean Marchand (I believe) were the original 3 seperatists who fired up sentiment that led to the FLQ.
Faith Goldie was fired from the rebel media because of some association with a white nationalist tribe at Charlottesville.
Singh is a leader of a major political party in Canada.
I would like to see Singh fired, but I know that’s expecting way to much from this lopsided society.
Canada used to be a sanctuary for immigrants. Now it’s your war is our war.
What Sean M said.
The ONLY reason Singh is even leader is because way too many signalling white leftards hate themselves.
We currently have about 20 elected Sikh MP’s in Canada, a way higher ratio than their population warrants, and not one of them is female. Not even ONE! I am still waiting for our devoutly feminist PM to publicly explain why misogyny is A-OK for brown people, but evil for people with white skin. The phony, race-baiting little lying prick that Turdeau is.
Our political parties are competing for Victim of the Week.
Our mentally challenged midget is a greater victim than your drooling imbecile
We have the best victim,you racist voters have to vote for us.
What will it take to have competent Canadians reenter the governing councils of this country?
Do we have to wait until the current fools and bandits cause sufficient pain,destruction and deaths, before voters will think about their own civic responsibilities..
I know I am not interested in elected office, not until voters are willing to sanction firing career parasites..
Preferably out of a cannon.
Canadians will “Go along to get along” until we all reach Venezuela ..without having to travel a metre.
A metre = ?
Yes, he’s all concerned about rights abuses (see: http://canlii.ca/t/fnmxz )
This story of Jagmeet and the terrorist is truly sad,it has probably shaken the faith of a few thousand Dippers and now they’ll vote Liberal instead. This WILL cost the Dippers Quebec,be lucky to win two seats there.
I believe Andrew Scheer may have met with Garner Ted Armstrong once and there’s a rumor he knew Billy Graham,so the CPC had better remain silent on this issue,as they have been for weeks now,as people who live in stone houses shouldn’t throw glass. Or something.
Only white politicians can be lying terrorist scumbags right?
“I am still waiting for our devoutly feminist PM to publicly explain why misogyny is A-OK for brown people, but evil for people with white skin.”
It is their culture and that makes it alright, just like FGM and wearing bags is to another.
There is a reporter and a heckler who deserve apologies from that poncy douche.
There is a reporter and a heckler who deserve apologies from that poncy d0uche.
So then this report surmises that being in the company of sihk separatists is a measure of their fitness as PM?
Ok then let’s not make particular political party membership a condition of this measure.
If Jag isn’t fit for office for this reason that also disqualifies the current occupant of the PMO.
They have learned nothing.
Why did they drop it now? To say that Singh is worse than Trudeau in terms of being soft on terrorism. But it is a mistake. The Liberals are breathing new life into the Khalistan story just when it was beginning to die off.
New Conservative election ad: “Vote Conservative. We won’t get involved.”
absoLUTEly.
in biology it’s called a ‘symbiotic’ relationship; they feed off each other to the detriment of other species.
that’d be working decent Canadians who keep putting their ilk in ‘orifice’.
I remember Garner Ted the radio preacher and the schism between him and the old man herbert w the cultist.
A bit off topic but….
Herbert W was quite the entertainer. I recall listening to him one time on a long rural drive. Radio reception was bad and Herb was booming in from some distant station somewhere. Apparently Herb had been told that according to evolutionary theory birds were the descendants of dinosaurs.
Completely flummoxed by the concept Herb launched into a metaphor of a frog sitting on a log in a swamp saying, “I’m going to fly, I can fly.” The frog according to Herb then proceeded to launch himself skyward….well you get the picture.
I suppose it hadn’t occurred to Herb that evolution doesn’t take place overnight. Those listening must have concurred as he had quite a following for a number of years.
39.37 inches,…… I am so glad you asked. Meter being an instrument.
Metre being the prime unit of the Metric System; to quote wikipedi ” metre and meter are pronounced the same. Metre is the official spelling of the measurement, meter is the american spelling of it/. It’s just spellings mate, meter and metre are pronounced the same.”
Proving once again that online dictionaries are crap.
There fore two and too and to and tu are all the same meaning as well.
Of course I may just be showing my age,now that feelings are more important that reason, language must accept the Red Queen rulings.
