One of the worldβs largest Vaisakhi celebrations in the world was underway in Surrey, B.C. on Saturday, with hundreds of thousands flooding the streets for the popular annual event.
Organizers had expected more than 700,000 people to attend the event, a record number for the celebration.
Vasakhi dates back to 1699 and celebrates the revelation of the Khalsa, which refers to a community that considers Sikhism its faith. It has become a holy day to mark the birth of the Khalsa fraternity.

How fun! I wish I could participate! Enjoy, Love and blessings to all..,π
Go home!
Glad the police could keep them safe from the modi govt agents during the event. FYI It's a celebration not a parade
Where in India is Surrey?
I thought Canada day was in July?
This is in Canada?
Disgusting.
I spent some time homeless on the streets of both Vancouver and Toronto and consistently the Sikh people would set up tents and give out free food. I know many homeless people who would have gone hungry if not for the Sikh people.
I can't name a SA who has contributed anything to this country!
Khalistan Zindabad!
Has Canada asked permission from India,??
It seems canada is over
One thing I notice is that there are no non-Indian people at this event year after year. If you see other large gatherings in this province there are diverse crowds. Maybe the Punjabi community should work on trying to be more inclusive towards other groups?
Jagmeet pushed Trudeau to increase international student intake particularly from Punjab. These backdoor immigration polices must cease now. These are there just to bolster vote bank.
weak borders allowing mas invasion and destabilization of Canada
Imagine the smell π

In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful..
The Creator is Allaah Exalted and Most High βοΈπ as is well known. To whom belongs the Kingdom of the Seven Heaven's and Earth π and all in Between. Everything comes as his Creation so Worship is only for him for which we are Created too. Idol Diety and Statue Worship or Norse,Sumerian,Aztek,Avatars,Guru's and Greek Gods or Goddesses are no more than Untrue Myths that have no right to be Worshipped and so why all False Dietys are forbidden by the Prophet Ibraheem until the last day.. God's Grace and Mercy comes free so nobody needs to go through any Idols. Prophet Ibraheem was the Father of the Prophet's and all The Prophet's were Paternal Brothers so no exemption can be made, even with the Final and Seal of the Messengers. Prophet Muhammad. Peace be upon them all and families.
Welcome to CANINDIA!

Religion of Peace!
India is calling all of you homeπ
I am telling you, if you are Christian, START HAVING BABIES NOW. We have been asleep far too long

The likes to views ratio says it all.
No safety measures at all. They ended up tipping a scissor lift into power lines.
sigh bubye Canada nice knowing you π
No thnx, Indigenous land, thank you, no more coming to Indigenous land.
Read what one of the Greatest Statesman in the World wrote.
His warnings are still true today.
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.
The above-quoted passage did appear in The River War, written by Churchill, published 1902.
The book of the Quran is Hate Speech, according to all ex Muslims, so how come itβs still allowed in Canada? And the Western World.? Donβt believe me, whatβs happening to Women in Iran? I have worked in the Middle East on and off for over 15 years, even fascism doesnβt compare.
Good job
Where the Air India 182 culprits gather to celebrate with Jimmy D.
Modi and BJP are angry at Canada.
Itβs a Surrey thing in BC.
When will we Sikhs become brave enough to declare the truth that our Gurughar or home is not Indian Punjab, because we belong to Lahore in Pakistan the kingdom of Maharaja Ranjit Singh who was our forefather the lion of Punjab. Nankana is the birthplace of Guru Nanak. That is why we wanted Kartarpur Corridor to reach our home in Lahore. To seek a separate state in Indian Punjab is to look for fish in urine. We use India for cheap education & farmland money for us to move abroad. But how long will our homeland keep calling us…come on brave brothers let us move back home to Lahore, Pakistan. Forget India. Lets go OUR REAL, HISTORICAL, GURU-GRANTED HOME: LAHORE, PAKISTAN. RAJ KAREGA KHALSA. I repeat, brave Sikh brothers, let us never forget that the real home of Sikhs granted by our Guru and the capital of sher-e punjab is Lahore and not India.
Indian Punjab belongs to Punjabi, Bihari and all Indians.
