Congratulations to my boy Mandeep AKA Mugsy Dhaliwal who at the age of 21,  2 years out of high school,  going only on his own personal wit, despite all the false allegations of us robbing, threatening, vandalizing and harassing Vicky still pulled out 3000 votes in an election that often goes to those who pull out 2500.

Although we didn’t win this time, it took Vicky two tries, a taxi licence and a house to get where he did. Seeing as how you did it with none of that, other then the support of the people around you, consider yourself off to a good start.

Now although the tone of the post may sound bitter, its far from it. I never expected Vicky to win, I never expected any of the desi’s to truthfully win. The fact that one (he) did, impresses me. I may not agree with his tactics but then again this is politics everything goes, and so it did, and for that I will congratulate him for doing what was needed to win. End of the day that’s what counts, the W or in this case the reserved parking spot in City Hall with your our name on it, is what counts after all the ballots are tallied.

But as premature as it may sound, the pressure is now on. Every bill and vote that you pass/make will be scrutinized. Every promise made will be held against you for the next 4 years, and in that time you have the chance to either break or make your place in City Hall. After all as impressive as your (Vicky’s)  victory maybe, realize that you not only helped school us as to what level we need to compete at, but you raised the bar, which means next time around everyone will step there game up just that much more.

P.S the Results.

Wards 9 & 10 - City Councillor

Stella Ambler 4029 - 23.80%
Mandeep Dhaliwal 2879- 17.01%
Vicky Dhillon 4700 - 27.77%
Daljit Gill 620 - 3.66%
Naiem Malik 439 - 2.59%
Garnett Manning4 259 - 25.16%

So judgment day is upon and it’s now your chance to vote for everyone’s favourite incumbent and elect Mandeep  Dhaliwal for city councilor. So today when you go vote, make sure you tick off Mandeep Dhaliwal on your ballot list. After all a Vote for Mandeep is a Vote for Wards 9 and 10.

A while back Sikhs secured the right to wear Kirpaans in school, thanks to Gurbaaj Singh taking the case to the Supreme Court. However the verdict that allowed us to wear our Kirpaans wasn’t all that concise, and left plenty of room for individual school boards to decide on the particulars.

Any time the Kirpaan and its “dangerous” side effects ever enters any type of discussion, Sikhs are quick to jump up and shout that the Kirpaan has never been used to harm any individual or in any criminal activity. Although a bold statement to make, most individuals are hard pressed to find a case involving the violent use of a Kirpaan. With that said though, its articles like the following that really hit a nerve especially considering we’ve barley earned the right to wear a Kirpaan and all of a sudden you got dumb shits like this pulling them out and using them in fights and even worse getting booked. Listen we all do stupid things growing up, and even so at that age and in Brampton fights are common place, but if your going to go do something stupid at least don’t get booked doing it, ruining it for the rest of us.

Here’s the Brampton Guardian article, if you know more about this in detail and if you notice that Guardian article is exaggerating or missing certain pieces then share them, but left inciting rumors by naming names and getting the Police asking me for ip’s, after all this ain’t crime stoppers.

Student attacked with sword

A 15-year-old Brampton Centennial Secondary School student is lucky to be alive after a sword attack on school grounds Monday.

Another 16-year-old student is under arrest and facing several assault and weapons charges. According to Peel Regional Police, the two teenagers were involved in an argument in front of the McMurchy Avenue school around the noon hour. The dispute escalated into a physical altercation and the older teen pulled out a metre-long sword police believe he had tucked in his pants.

The younger teen was struck with the weapon several times on the head, arm and back, police said. He received deep lacerations to his head, arms and legs that required more than 50 staples and stitches to close, according to police at the scene.

His wounds were not life threatening and the 15-year-old was treated and released from Brampton hospital.

Swift intervention by school staff to stop the fight and contact police may have saved his life.

A spokesperson for Peel police said it was unclear what started the argument or fueled the violent attack.

Brian Woodland, a spokesperson for the Peel District School Board, said privacy laws prevent him from speaking about the specific students involved. However, he did note bringing a weapon onto school property and assaulting someone is cause for immediate disciplinary action by the school and school board.

“Our normal process would be to suspend (the student) for the 20 day maximum,” said Woodland. During that period the school and board would also begin the expulsion process, he added.

In a letter sent home to parents, the school’s principal explained the incident and commended staff and students for their actions during the crisis. He assured parents the school remains a safe learning environment and asked anyone with information to contact police. “This (kind of incident) is extraordinarily rare,” Woodland said.

The 16-year-old has been charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public and carrying a concealed weapon.

He is being held in custody until a bail hearing scheduled for June 2. The teenager cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

The investigation is continuing. Anyone with information is asked to contact 22 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau at 905-453-2121, ext. 2233 or Peel Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).

Brampton teen clings to life

STAFF REPORTER

A Brampton teen is clinging to life after being severely beaten Monday afternoon, police say.

The 16-year-old boy was attacked by a group of other males at about 3 p.m. in the Kennedy Rd. and Steeles Ave. area of Brampton, near Turner Fenton Secondary School. An unknown weapon was used in the attack, inflicting serious head injuries, police said.

The attack took place in an adjacent parking lot and not on school grounds, said Peel police Const. Kathy Weylie. It is not known whether the victim knew his attackers or if any were students at Turner Fenton, she said.

Police are looking for five or six suspects, described as males between 16 and 18 years of age.

A number of witnesses were in the area at the time and have been interviewed by police, Weylie said.

An unknown weapon…extreme head injuries??? My money is on it being a karrDa, after all saw nuff men break heads wid dem tings. But then again I could be wrong, considering most people saw a tire iron being used. The Brampton Guardian article,

Police search for attackers

A 16-year-old Turner Fenton Secondary School student is in stable condition after he was severely beaten and hit over the head, possibly with a tire iron, in a parking lot in the area of Steeles Avenue East and Kennedy Road.

The teen was beaten by five to six other teens in front of a crowd of witnesses, according to police. He suffered head injuries, including a fractured skull, and was unconscious when police arrived just after 3 p.m. Monday. He was taken to Peel Memorial Hospital, then transferred to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto. His condition improved overnight and he was upgraded to stable from critical. He is expected to survive and recover from his injuries, according to police.

Police are interviewing several witnesses, but are asking for anyone in the area to call if they have any information. Police say witnesses have told them the weapon used to hit the boy looked like a tire iron. It has not been recovered. The attack happened in a parking lot just south of the Sears Home Store and just north of Turner Fenton Secondary School, but not on school property. It is not known if the attackers are students at the school, or if the victim knows his attackers.

High school students from Turner Fenton often congregate in the west end of the parking lot, part of the Orion Gate plaza. Investigators are searching for five or six South Asian youth between 16 and 18 years.

I’ll just cop this story of the Brampton Guardian Site, since news stories only last for so long on them. Weird thing about Brampton is that its a pretty middle class suberb. Notice the desi employees.

Gunmen rob TD

Peel police are asking for help in solving a takeover-style bank robbery in Brampton.

On Monday, Jan. 23, at 1:20 p.m., three men entered the TD Canada Trust on Worthington Avenue in the area of Bovaird Drive and Creditview Road. One of the suspects was armed with a shotgun and the trio took over the bank. Employees and customers were ordered to the floor.

One of the suspects vaulted the teller counter and demanded cash. The terrified victim handed over a quantity of cash. The armed thugs then ran out and got away in what investigators believe is an older model dark green Honda Accord.

Bank surveillance video captured images of the suspects and pictures can be seen on the Web site at www.peel police.on.ca.

The first suspect is described as male, black, 22, with a slim build, wearing a black, long T-shirt, dark pants, knitted baseball cap and a blue bandanna. He was armed with the shotgun.

The second suspect is described as male, black, 5-foot-5, 150 pounds, wearing a camouflage green coat with a hooded sweatshirt, dark mask, blue bandanna, black gloves and carrying a green duffle bag.

The third suspect is male, black, 6-foot, 180 pounds, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, black ski mask and black do-rag.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Drugs involved in kidnapping PAM DOUGLAS

The disappearance of 300 kg of marijuana destined for delivery by truck to the United States from a Springdale home earlier this month appears to have been the motive behind the kidnapping and beating of Brampton truck driver Balkar Singh last Friday.

The smuggling of marijuana and possibly other drugs across the border by transport truck appears to be at the heart of the case, according to police sources. Police believe the drug runners’ search for the stolen marijuana led to Singh’s abduction and beating, The Brampton Guardian has learned.

The investigation into Singh’s daylight, gunpoint abduction and release two days later has taken some strange twists. The latest was a media report this week that a tape of Singh’s beating while he was being held captive was delivered to a Toronto-area Punjabi media outlet.

Peel police detectives investigating the case were working yesterday to obtain a copy of that tape. Why the tape was made, and who made it, could be a key part of the ongoing investigation, according to police.

Earlier this week, two men surrendered to police and were charged in the abduction. Sukhjit Dhaliwal, 31, of Woodbridge, and Amandeep Soos, 25, of Brampton are charged with conspiracy to kidnap, conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, forcible confinement, aggravated assault and several firearms offences. Monday is their next court appearance.

Other arrests are expected as a special 22 Division task force continues to investigate the abduction and other criminal offences. Four men snatched Singh at gunpoint at 4:30 p.m. Friday as he walked in a plaza parking lot at Kennedy Road and Clarence Street.

The investigation led police to a rural house in Caledon early Monday morning where Tactical Unit officers were confronted by armed men.

Rajesh Owaan, 21, of Concord was shot and killed by police in the confrontation inside the home on Bramalea Road north of Mayfield Road.

Jagdeep Singh, 43, of Hamilton was also inside the house and he was hit in the leg by a bullet. He was taken to Peel Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. He appeared in court Tuesday, and is now charged with breach of probation, breach of recognizance and several firearms offences. He has not been charged in connection with the abduction of Balkar Singh, who is not related to Jagdeep Singh. He is also scheduled to appear in court again Jan. 23.

Police have been busy obtaining and executing more search warrants at the Caledon house and property, but they have not revealed what it is they are looking for.

The province’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting, which involved two Peel police officers. A third officer has been designated as a witness by the SIU.

Police say Singh was snatched at gunpoint and forced into a rented minivan at 4:30 p.m. Friday. The minivan, an SUV and a car believed involved in the kidnapping were later recovered-one in Brampton, the other two in Toronto.

Singh arrived home in a taxi at 8 p.m. Sunday. He had suffered minor injuries during the ordeal and was treated in hospital before being extensively questioned by police.

Singh is known to police and two years ago he was the victim of a shooting on Hwy. 401 near London. OPP at the time ruled it a case of road rage. Singh, who was driving a truck at the time, was shot in the shoulder.

Anyone with information is asked to call the 22 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau at 905-453-2121, ext. 2233, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
