Lol I don’t get what you’re trying to get at.. so I have a few very intelligent, objective co-workers who were eloquently able to explain their dislike for a borderline terrorist group.. and you are trying to undermine their opinion as I haven’t poled the masses? You do know what this group stands for right?

Quote:
Immediately after Operation Blue Star, authorities were unprepared for how quickly extremism spread and gained support in Canada, with extremists "...threatening to kill thousands of Hindus by a number of means, including blowing up Air India flights."[193][194] Canadian Member of Parliament Ujjal Dosanjh, a moderate Sikh, stated that he and others who spoke out against Sikh extremism in the 1980s faced a "reign of terror".[195]
Quote:
In 2008, a CBC report stated that "a disturbing brand of extremist politics has surfaced" at some of the Vaisakhi and the Buddhist Vesak parades in Canada,[163] and The Trumpet agreed with the CBC assessment.[204] Two leading Canadian Sikh politicians refused to attend the parade in Surrey, saying it was a glorification of terrorism.[163] In 2008, Dr. Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India, expressed his concern that there might be a resurgence of Sikh extremism.[205][206]

There has been some controversy over Canada's response to the Khalistan movement. After Amarinder Singh's refusal to meet Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2017, calling him a "Khalistani sympathizer", Singh ultimately met with Trudeau 22 Feb 2018 over the issue.[207] Trudeau assured Singh that his country would not support the revival of the separatist movement.[208][10][209] Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Badal was quoted saying Khalistan is "no issue, either in Canada or in Punjab".[210] Justin Trudeau has declared that his country would not support the revival of the separatist movement.[10]

A 2020 report by Canadian ex-journalist Terry Milewski criticized the Khalistan movement as driven by the Pakistani government, and as a threat to Canadian interests

JT said he would not support revival of this movement, yet allowing massive demonstrations and very clearly allowing this movement to flourish.

Lol.. like.. I get ya don’t agree with my JT takes, but trying to counter my points on this? I don’t get it.
