Will Mark Carney’s Canada Differ From Trudeau’s? Anti-Hindu Parade Sparks Outrage in Toronto

Will Mark Carney’s Canada Differ From Trudeau’s?: Canadian journalist Daniel Bordman on Sunday (local time) shared a chilling video of an anti-Hindu procession that took place at Toronto’s Malton Gurdwara. The video posted on X highlighted a Khalistani organization issuing threatening and hateful demands such as deporting 800,000 Hindus out of Canada.

The incident has ignited widespread outrage across social media and Indian diaspora communities, with many questioning whether Canada’s new leadership will take a harder stance on extremist factions than former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The footage was originally posted by user Shawn Binda, who denounced the demonstration as “blatant anti-Hindu hatred” by a group with known affiliations to past acts of terrorism in Canada.

A raw video of the speech was shared with the Hindustan Times and authenticated by the person who had taken it.

While parts of the inflammatory rhetoric are unintelligible, the unidentified person giving the call using a megaphone says that “eight lakh Bharti” should be taken back to Hindustan (India).

Banners on display also featured the words ‘Kill India’, imagery attacking Indian leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and solidarity between proponents of Khalistan and Islamabad.

There was no evidence that these floats were part of the procession sanctioned by the organisers.

The nagar kirtan started from the town of Malton and travelled to Toronto’s Rexdale area.

The Jihadis rampaging through our streets have done significant damage to the social fabric running around threatening any Jews they can find.
But the Khalistanis are giving them a good run for their money on most hateful foreign funded menace to society.

Bordman’s posting stated, “The Jihadis rampaging through our streets have done significant damage to the social fabric, running around threatening any Jews they can find. But the Khalistanis are giving them a good run for their money on the most hateful foreign-funded menace to society. Will Mark Carney’s Canada be any different from Justin Trudeau’s?”

His comment was made in response to a post from Shawn Binda, who posted a video of the same parade. Binda penned, “K-Gang at Malton Gurdwara (Toronto) shamelessly demands 800,000 Hindus–whose vibrant communities span Trinidad, Guyana, Suriname, Jamaica, South Africa, Netherlands, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Kenya, and beyond–be deported to 'Hindustan.”

“This isn’t a protest against India’s government; it’s blatant anti-Hindu hatred from a Khalistani terrorist group, notorious for Canada’s deadliest attack, yet arrogantly claiming the right to stay. #KhalistaniTerrorism,” Binda posted on X.

The National Alliance of Indo-Canadians called upon Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to “nip this evil in the bud”.

This is not the first time such rhetoric has been employed by radical elements in Canada. Last year, during the annual India Day parade in Toronto, a pro-Khalistan group gathered at the venue for the event, and were heard shouting, “Canadian Hindus go back to India,” among other slogans.

That demonstration was part of the so-called Khalistan Rally, and flyers circulated in the days preceding it called for a “Face-off” between “Khalistan Sikhs” and “Canadian Hindus”.

In a video that went viral in September 2023, the secessionist outfit Sikh for Justice’s legal counsel, Gurpatwant Pannun, said, “Indo-Hindu leave Canada, go to India.”

“You not only support India but you are also supporting the suppression of speech and expression of pro-Khalistan Sikhs,” he said, adding they were “also promoting violence by celebrating Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s 'assassination'.

That reference was to the killing of the pro-Khalistan figure in Surrey, British Columbia, on June 18, 2023. Three months later, the Canadian Prime Minister stated in the House of Commons that there were “credible allegations” of a potential link between Indian agents and the killing. That sparked a cratering of ties between India and Canada as New Delhi rejected the accusation as “absurd” and “motivated.”
