On Canada Day | A Punjabi Celtic Fusion While Paying Respect To The Indigenous Peoples:
On Canada Day, we take a moment to acknowledge that we are on Indigenous lands, thinking about the profoundness of this fact. Furthermore, we reflect upon Canada's past and recognize the vital importance of the future steps towards Truth and Reconciliation.

BREAKING | The Consulate General of India in Toronto attempted to interfere in Canadian classrooms and with school lessons that covered global affairs concerning the #FarmersProtest, Baaz has learned.
The Consulate threatened that bilateral relations would be put at risk.

The official diplomatic note was obtained by the World Sikh Organization of Canada (WSO) through a freedom of information request made to the Peel District School Board and supplied to CBC News. #FarmersProtest
Another example of blatant foreign interference by India in Canada.
The Indian consulate in Toronto is trying to stop GTA teachers from giving lessons about the ongoing protests by predominantly Sikh farmers in India, claiming the material poses a security threat and could "poison" relations between India and Canada. bit.ly/3xx8eUr

We congratulate Justice Mahmud Jamal for being appointed as the first person of colour to the SCC. This is a major milestone for our country.
Fun fact: Justice Jamal was counsel for @cancivlib in the the historic Multani case about the right to wear the Kirpan in schools.
Prime Minister Trudeau nominates the Honourable Mahmud Jamal as the next member of the Supreme Court of Canada. Fully bilingual Justice Jamal was appointed to the Court of Appeal for Ontario in 2019 & appeared in 35 appeals before country's top court. cbc.ca/1.6069406

The full extent and impact of the genocide faced by Indigenous communities in Canada has not been recognized or acknowledged and its brutality continues to be uncovered.
We stand in solidarity with our Indigenous brothers and sisters.

Excellent use of media by @Yellowhead_ in the report to educate and explain the relationship between land and wealth theft of indigenous peoples. Recommended for all #educators to learn and teach in their classrooms!

We need your support. Last month one of our co-founders @ClaudetteR76 received violent hate mail @YRDSB. No one bothered to call her or inform her of this fact until @YRP began their investigation. This is not a unique situation. Help us call for change.
