Absolutely nothing in the stores or flyers about Thanksgiving, but no end to Diwali for past several weeks.
I`ve seen Happy Diwali on most Calgary transit busses. I miss the Canada i grew up in.
Same it SKTN, every bus is flashing a happy Diwali and sign. How many Diwali-waley-ding-dongs are there here?
Why do they dance in grocery stores? Is that a part of the religion?
I’ve always found the Diwali celebrations enjoyable. Back in the days when there was an MP named Herb Dhaliwal, I offered to produce a seasonal record for his campaign, to the tune of “Holly Jolly Christmas”, to be called “Have A Dhaliwal Diwali”, by Burl Apsac. Sadly, no takers.
Is that Justin Trudeau?
They had 6 hours of fireworks last night in Kelowna, mostly in the Rutland and Ellison areas.
I live in Ellison county, which is semi rural, and the complaints are rolling in about frightened livestock, etc.
Of course they are especially happy on this Diwali because Kelowna council just approved a site for the new, big temple.
Jeez, is that what was going on in my neighbourhood during the Jays’ game Monday night, specifically during the third and sixth inning? I thought it was some liqoured up Mariners’ fans getting excited over taking the lead in the game which I figured explained why there were no fireworks after the final out.
I’m not kidding.
Generally speaking I have not ever heard a Hindu complain about “Merry Christmas.” That is the other religion, the pieces of bodies one.
You mean peaces of bodies
No I mean “pieces of bodies.”
It won’t be long before The Ministry of Truth has eliminated all references to the Celts, the Britons, the Anglo-Saxons, whatever.
I had fireworks until 3am in the morning and i’m not even in brampton. I laugh when i hear older canadians complain, you voted for this. canada is gone and not coming back, make arrangements similar to living in a 3rd world country for thats what this is now
I’m old enough to remember when “Hare Krishna”, “Hare Rama”, and “Hare Hare” … are what you heard at the airport chanted by white suburban kids who had found Hindu “enlightenment”. They were to be avoided lest you had a flower shoved in your hand and begging commenced upon your person.

It didn’t take the Beatles too long to figure it out
I remember those idiots at the airport too.
Is that dancing in bare feet by groceries? If so yuck.
In the name of inclusiveness I welcome the return of Black Cat firecrackers, from “ladyfingers” to at least the standard 1.5″ size wound together in 20’s or 100’s … year round.
Not joking, I actually love them still…
The Vancouver Whitecaps have a Vaisakhi celebration at a match in April each year. Last year, it was on Easter Sunday. Do you think they acknowledged the holiest day in the Christian calendar?
I’m also seeing lots of signs for people offering to put up “Holiday Lights!” in my neighbourhood. What holiday do you think they are referring to? In my experience, no-one flinches if I wish them a Merry Christmas, and I intend to continue doing so until Carney outlaws it. Even then…
The video is the best argument against multiculturalism that I have seen in a long, long time.
