This thread on X is rightwing Canada spreading anti-immigrant propaganda and racism against Sikhs. This camp has been equating Khalistanis to Punjabi truckers to international students. Its the far-right approach to create virulent xenophobia and hate. And the networks are boosted by Indian media

I got into Mrs. Davis, 2 eps in - what's real and what's staged and who is on whose side, impersonating who. What a mindf**k! But it's true to today's world.

I still have a day pass and some TTC tokens. Looks like I'm not gonna make the June 1st legacy fare deadline

Wildfires. Is there anything new or different in these news cycles?

HR is so used to laying off workers and squeezing resources to the dime. Now AI is catching up to them

The rise and fall of Charisma

I resonated with this piece. He held such a promising start. And then came the big letdown... to Sikhs, and to the marginalized classes

Navneet Alang: For voters like me, Jagmeet Singh wasn’t just NDP leader — and that makes his failure hurt all the more It mattered that Singh was leader of a federal party. But to Sikhs and Punjabis, he was also one of our own.

For the Star, I tapped out some thoughts about Jagmeet Singh, my conflicted feelings, and why representation isn’t enough. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

The only good outcome that can come out of this Canadian election is if all the party leaders lose their seats

Considering how orange juice has become rather tasteless and bland in the last few years, I guess foregoing OJ altogether is doable

Listening to all the tributes to Reshma's masterpiece Kithe Nain. I think I quite like Hadiqa Kiani's cover of it

I wasn't really a fan of squares or IG to begin with, but these vertical rectangles are even more of an eyesore

I guess VPNs to bypass geographical bans are both an American and Chinese thing!

That's a bold principled move

Wildfires continue to intensify. And politicians say "we will aggressively rebuild."

Dexter is back. After the worst series finale, twice!, it's going for a bummer hatrick
