We need to, as a society, collectively, unequivocally denounce any time innocent lives are lost.

The same way I'm not afraid of calling out systemic discrimination, I'm also not afraid of calling out inequality and the fact that inequality is growing in society and that affects everybody, regardless of race.

Air India happened when I was about five years old but... I've attended memorials with respect to the victims and the families, the survivors of this horrible and heinous act. I've talked about how everyone denounces it.

Well, the federal government has a responsibility to provide leadership in bringing together provinces.

To me poverty, mental health, and addictions don't sound like criminal justice problems. They sound to me like a social justice problem.

Make it so people can actually find good housing, can find good quality jobs and can afford to live - then we can weaken the climate of insecurity and fear that allow people to be exploited to increase division.

As Canadians who proudly demand the equal treatment of minorities, religious freedom, gender equality and basic human rights for its citizens - allowing our political leaders to shamefully ignore these values in the name of business abroad, falls short of the high standard we rightfully set for ourselves.

Sikhs were considered the champions of fairness, uplifting people, protecting and defending human rights. Defending equality. So when someone sees a Sikh, the turban identifies a person who's going to stand up for rights, even if you disagree with them. The turban is supposed to be a beacon. That someone who is going to help you out.

If we have an agreement with a country like Mexico, that doesn't support or protect the rights of workers, that doesn't have the same environmental regulations, how can Canadians ever compete with that jurisdiction?

What do we believe in? Love and courage.

Oh, I think Canadians look like all sorts of people. That's the beauty of Canada.
