WSO: Confronting Anti-Sikh Hate since 1984
In 1989, Herman Bittner created a racist calendar, depicting himself in blackface as a turbaned Sikh Mountie. This was in response to the government’s decision to provide dastaar accommodations for RCMP officers. The calendar became a disturbing bestseller across Canada, fuelling division and hatred.
Bittner and his supporters opposed the right of Sikhs to serve with their dastaars. The government's decision was even challenged in court by a group of ex-RCMP officers. The WSO intervened in the proceedings and the case was dismissed. However, anti-Sikh sentiments lingered even after this victory.

The WSO delved into the archives to uncover footage from 1986, highlighting the media’s portrayal of Sikhs and its impact on Sikh children in Canada. Even though this footage is nearly four decades old, these issues persist today, as evidenced by the inaccuracies in the Globe and Mail articles published last month.

Can you please share full video of this convention. Thanks

1:00 This is the "logic" you would expect from a racist. What an absolute joke!
should of said no to them during world war 1 and 2 also then. hypocrites
Little did they know that the perceived 'problems' they had with Sikhs, would be nothing compared to what they would encounter later by Shariah and Hamas supporting individuals arriving from various parts of the 3rd World who would insist on the wearing of the burqa, the provision of halal food in public facilities and the practice of child marriage, FGM and the wholesale and systematic destruction of Western society and values. The Sikhs have always upheld Western values and made a valuable contribution to Western society.
I have a Sikh family living in my community full of Muslims,they run a shop run by the whole family they are the most honest honorable people I have known since childhood
These Guys are speaking common sense
WSO 🗿✅
Wot happened to you my punjabi people, whole World is after you, i wish you didn’t fell in the traps of hindus in 1947 and stood with us, they made us fight
coming rich from a muslim. Dont you have blasphemy laws in your pakistan. What is the percentage of hindus there ? The hypocrisy of muslims is something to be admired and studied at the same time.

Sikhs have contiously served the world, we are recognised for our service, especially with regards to world war 1 & 2, where many lost their lives... however we are still persecuted by many have demonstrated a lack of loyalty towards us, but we continue to strive forward & educate those who are ignorant, we are a warrior race & will always fight for what is right... 💪🏽👊🏽🙏🏽

Awesome. Sikhs need such platform. Well done everyone involved keeping their personal egos aside.
Sikhs are one of the successful communities. Rough justice delivered after the murder of Indira Gsndhi was instantaneous unfortunate.

This is total nonsense. The Khalistani ideology is violent and fascist in its outlook of India. How many have actually visited Punjab or India?
Thanks for the video!
Why is this even on my Screen ? Welcome to Digital Feudalism 😊
The last I checked India was not an enemy to Canada. Just because a group of immigrants to Canada left India because they figured they got a rotten deal there and would get a better one here does not make India a hostile country to Canada. Get over yourselves and stop trying to fight your old battles from here and drag the rest of us in with you. If you want to continue to fight that old battle, then go back and fight it there instead of trying to fight it from the safety of Canada.

Gonna be interesting
Yes like jaggi johals case in the UK and India trying to get the 3 sikh youths sent to India on completely false charges. India is a very conniving dangerous country.

We Sikhs are indebted to Canada for their support to humanity and against pressure by the Indian terror state.
I would like to make it clear Sikhs don’t feel fear from India. We are in a war with Delhi & there is no fear but pure celebration of the Martyrdoms laid down by Sikhs.
Lol. Thats why u go abroad and become jokers. Traitor
We Hindu Punjabies have forgotten our 30,000 men women and children killed by Khalistani terrorists from 1980 to 1995, your glorify that raakshas terrorists bhinderwale as a sant, the internet will expose your war crimes.
Still in present time congress is present in Punjab even after 1984 riots.
Reality is this Attack was invited by SIKHS Themselves..... How did china made weapons came in a Temple
And congress still present in punjab
it proves everything 😁
The 80's were the worst time for not only Punjab but the whole of India. Since then, Punjab has had normalcy and peace for past 3 decades and nothing is going to stop this. The Sikhs themselves have fought the radical elements, religious fanatics and opposed any break up of India though their sheer patriotism and extreme sacrifices. Sikhs are the pride of India and nothing will ever happen like it did in the 80's ever. Those demanding Khalistan have the only option to create one in Canada out of its vast provinces or ask Pakistan to give Lahore and adjoining areas of their Punjab for this cause.
No hindu can every be happy that this happened. No sikh should be happy or proud about sikh terrorists
Sikhs cannot expect justice from those same govt actors who perpetrated disproportionate violence and others who continue to shield the guilty with 40 years of impunity. We must never forget this indelible mark that left intergenerational trauma on the collective Sikh psyche. Let this historical memory embolden us to become strong and successful as a people and live in Chardi Kala wherever we are. God bless.
you expect justice by voting congress?
So what ??
You are a fake account; trying to portray as Indian to create rift between communities. Anyway how's the weather in Pakistan 😏
Sikhi is not a religion..
We Sikhs are basically Hindus.. Bhinderwala was a terrorist and aa a Sikh he was a coward for hiding in the Harmandir Sahib. For that he will never be forgiven. Until this degenerate, never was Harmandir Sahib ever been used as a place for cowards with guns to hide. I AM A SIKH.
Shameful
You are a fake account; that's shameful
