Crime wave grows in Brampton: the Mayor issues a plea to the federal and provincial governments

BRAMPTON – The city of Brampton, home to Canada’s largest Indian community, has become a real powder keg. On one side, criminal groups like the Bishnoi Gang (an Indian organization listed as a “terrorist entity” by the Canadian government last September, as we wrote here), and on the other, the creeping, latent, but constant “war” between Sikhs (particularly, the separatists seeking independence for their region, Khalistan, from India) and Hindus, have made Brampton a high-risk place, where crimes of all kinds are increasingly occurring. And for this reason—while not naming any of the ethnic groups—Mayor Patrick Brown has decided to take up pen and paper and write to both the federal and provincial governments to ask for help. 

Canadian delegation denied entry into West Bank

TORONTO – A delegation of thirty Canadians, including six federal MPs, was denied – this morning – entry to the West Bank where they arrived as part of a trip organized by the charity Canadian Muslim Vote. According to a spokesperson for the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), which includes members of the group, each delegate was asked to sign a form acknowledging their threat to public safety given the dangerous nature of the area. The delegation members refused to do so and were therefore turned back.
