paapiman Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Was this a hate crime? Quote A Calgary MP is speaking out after he says an elderly man in his constituency was injured in an “unprovoked attack.” He said he believes the man was targeted because he is Sikh.

sarabatam Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 This is directly related to fear perpetuated by over exaggerated reporting of sikh extremism in the media since feb, they had 150 odd articles to justin trudeau disatrous trip to india and whole jaspal atval fiasco, recall to remove parmar picture etc. This may be also indirectly (due to very closed timing) related to jealously /fearful/ serious concerns factor / unfairness sentiments lot of albertans hold regarding inflammable news/good news of sikhs are now allowed to ride motorcycle in Alberta. Don't get me wrong I am happy by the decision to allow sikhs ride motor cycle without helmet but to calm fears or safety concerns, small minority who plans to ride motorcycle should have also voluntary came forward with wiliness to pay $20-50 extra in insurance for this kind leeway to address safety concerns and to calm fears. It would have been very re-assurance gesture to wider Canadians who have fears on safety, higher injury rates concerns strain on health system 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote IN an open letter to Postmedia CEO Paul Godfrey, and copied to the editors of the Vancouver Sun, Ottawa Citizen and National Post, World Sikh Organization President Mukhbir Singh expressed his concern at recent coverage of the Sikh community in Postmedia newspapers.
