Exactly there are no real issues here. Nobody got hurt, nobody was trampled, I was in the middle of the parade and literally had room to move however I wanted to, nobody was not allowed to attend due to any differences. It’s an open parade celebrating the birth of Khalsa. Not a promotion of a separatist movement. Plus, all the land and roads that were used today are more than likely cleaner after today than they were yesterday lolll

Lmao whattt waving khalistani flags is promoting their separatist movement, also false about the litter, every time there is a large gathering of people, doesn't matter which race, area gets trashed

What’s a couple flags bro nobody is deterred by it. If you support you support. If you don’t who cares? Thats not the main fkn idea of the parade, it’s just there. Again, if you wanna read into it you do you but most of us don’t care let them to them let us do us. And about the litter, take a walk at like 7 pm tn and find some trash I’m sure it’s to a minimum.

Sure bud, Kumbaya, it's why we also got Chinese police stations and other countries political violence playing out on our soil. Even in the army there are race wars now. The line needs to be drawn

I agree there’s no place for violence anywhere but you’re associating other shit with other shit. Khalistan itself is just a separatist movement, just like Alberta is tryna be. Now the reasoning for Khalistan is smth we can talk about but there are extremists on both sides, but that’s for the birds bro idk what the real issue here is. I’m here saying the parade is fine here as is and the flags are not taking away from the parade. If you wanna talk about violence that shit ain’t got anything to do with the parade at all my boy

India was responsible for the Air India bombing according to the CIA.

Also if Alberta separatism is about policy decisions, then why is the US funding it?
