For those who care about independent media, you may want to read this 🧵 Yesterday I was at the weekly Israel-Palestine protest at Calgary city hall. Someone who appears to be suffering from Napoleon complex has agitated the crowd against me. But that’s not the news. The news is the policing approach taken by @CalgaryPolice What the high-ranking officer told me basically amounts to surrendering the city hall and the rule of law into the hands of the demonstrators. The demonstrators were under the impression that because they have a permit they could exclude anyone as they wish. In fact, having a permit to protest at the city hall does not grant you exclusive control over the area. The police could have attempt to explain them this fact and tell them to not obstruct me from doing my job — but they did not. And because the police did not address the obstructive behaviour of the agitator earlier, eventually it evolved into an entire crowd surrounding me. This sets a poor precedent for the freedom of the press, and gives the protesters the wrong impression that they could exclude reporters they don’t like from public property by physically surrounding them and attempting to take their camera away. Let me give you some similar examples on how various police forces have handled similar situations. This is an insight you won’t get from anywhere else, as the number of field journalists who actively cover such events all across Canada is not greater than the number of fingers on one hand. Calgary police can do better. For example, when I was assaulted in Edmonton at a Khalistan protest, the police told the agitator to leave me alone. If the Edmonton police told me to go away like the Calgary police did yesterday, I would not be able to capture this exclusive video that received international coverage of police and Khalistan supporters physically clashing. This is how @MediaBezirgan survives. By bringing exclusive coverage to millions of Canadians who have the right to know what’s taking place in their cities. The freedom of the press is a right that is protected under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. There’s nothing wrong with me being present at public events to record and publish reports. That’s what media does. Last year in Ontario where I was covering opposing sides protesting each other, the Peterborough police had the approach of actively preventing protesters from obstructing each other’s movements by verbally but firmly warning them. Today Calgary police sent the message that such obstruction of movement on city property is acceptable and tolerable. The Calgary police and the city administration had previously arbitrarily tried to exclude me from an event that was taking place inside the city hall. I stood my ground and won — I was allowed in like the rest of the media. Calgary police do have a pattern of arbitrary law enforcement. A deficiency/challenge that I have to put up with. I’m proud to defend my editorial integrity. I’m accountable to the millions of viewers who became familiar with my content and trust my reporting. I’m not afraid of anyone or anything. I can imagine Calgary police not being happy with me for having brought exclusive coverage of upset drivers who were stuck on a bridge for almost half an hour due to the police’s failure to enforce the law. After my coverage went viral, they released a statement saying the blocking of thoroughfares would not be tolerated. In conclusion, the @CalgaryPolice should know better. Mayor @JyotiGondek should do better. All I demand is for the law to be upheld. What I was subjected to was lawlessness. I do not want to see this behaviour becoming the norm. If Peterborough police and Edmonton police can do it, Calgary police can do it too. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Marco Van Huigenbos, now facing up to 10 years in prison after being convicted of mischief over $5,000 along with two others in the Coutts blockade, fires back at Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for her 'deflecting' comments about the verdict.

The protesters accuse India of killing Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside his temple in Surrey, BC. Nijjar came to Canada with a fake passport. He was considered a terrorist by the Indian government. His temple previously made headlines for the public glorification of terrorists, particularly Talwinder Singh Parmar, who is suspected of masterminding the deadliest terror attack in Canadian history, the Kanishka bombings. Ever since Nijjar's killing, Khalistan activists have been targeting Indian government buildings and diplomats across Canada.

Edmonton Police are investigating whether the murder of a prominent home builder, who also served as the president of a local Sikh temple, is connected to extortion gangs. In a startling incident in Edmonton, the murder of Buta Singh Gill, a prominent home builder and Sikh temple president, has raised suspicions of deep-seated criminal influences and internal community power struggles. Gill was fatally shot following an altercation involving a black Nissan at a construction site he owned. This deadly event soon followed with the shooter committing suicide. As investigations unfold, Edmonton Police explore potential links to extortion gangs, notorious for violent crimes against Sikh Punjabi Canadian communities, including arsons and drive-by shootings.
