Quebec's Bill 62 Denies Muslims A Choice That's Theirs Alone
It's absurd to pass any law that is so obviously a violation of that constitution and its Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Unity Is Canada's Best Weapon Against The Threat Of Terror
To allow anything to divide us will be to invite on ourselves a greater threat of violence at home.
Canada's Spirit Of Tolerance Is Why I Chose To Call It Home
I chose Canada because of the wonderful and helpful Canadians I had met along my life's journey so far. They were extremely nice, kind and tolerant of my language difficulties when first coming from India in 1989 and helped me learn to speak and read English very quickly.
Is Jagmeet Singh Ready For His Great Political 'Close Up'?
Singh, a 38-year-old criminal defense lawyer and fellow turbaned Sikh, seems poised to rock and roll his way to the leadership of the federal NDP party in the hopes he can rock federal politics itself and roll Justin Trudeau in the ultimate charm offensive showdown -- the next federal election.
I Love My Mom
On May 14 we all celebrate Mother's Day. Take her out for dinner, giving her roses, gifts, show her how much we care and
Sajjan's Fall From Grace Is Hard For Canadian Sikhs Like Me
As a Sikh myself, I admit to reacting to Sajjan's appointment as defence minister with some pride. He was considered a decorated, brave warrior and a role model. As a government minister he came across as a member of cabinet the prime minister could rely on to do their job and get results. This makes his graceless fall all the more disappointing.
Patrick Brown Needs To Step Up And Show He Can Lead Ontario

Is Kevin O'Leary Ready For His 'Close-Up'?
While it may be tempting to draw parallels between his entry into the race and the path to the White House travelled by Mr. Trump, I suspect at some point soon Kevin O'Leary will realize that he is not Donald Trump, and this is not the United States
Refugees Crossing Over From The U.S. Are Breaking The Law
Canada has a compassionate, principled approach to both immigration and refugees. Our government's inability to control this developing situation may ultimately do harm to our current refugee system, ultimately causing Canadians to have a lack of faith in the system, and ultimately in the government that is charged with managing it.
My Canadian Immigrant Story Begins With The Loss Of My Father
Today, I'm 47 years old and Canada has been my home for almost 28 years. To this day, whenever I experience difficulties in life or in my career, I feel sadness and regret at not having my father me to help me through the difficult times.
Canada Needs Substance, Not Symbolism In Response To Hate
While I feel debating Motion 103 is a well-meaning act in the face of unspeakable violence and tragedy, racism affects a broad spectrum of people and it is short-sighted of our government to single out Islamophobia in their motion.
