The federal government
is trying to
calm some fears
about the security of Canada
Day celebrations, after
reports say ISIS has named
our country and the United
States as potential targets,
following the Manchester
bombing late last month.
In an email statement,
the public safety minister’s
office says it doesn’t comment
on specific threats
but adds the government is
unwavering in its commitment
to protect Canadians
and will continue to take
appropriate action to counter
terrorist threats.
Recently RCMP Superintendent
Mike O’Beirne
also didn’t directly answer
when asked about any
known threats for Canada
Day. “Our assessment is
continuous, both domestically
and internationally
and I can tell you constantly
in contact with our partners
in that regard.”
He adds officers are
preparing for all possible
security scenarios. “We’ve
been monitoring all the external,
internal pressures
and we flex our contingency
plans in regards to
that.”
There are reports the
threat was not made about
Canada Day celebrations
specifically, but it urges
Muslims to avoid public
gatherings and threatened
to use “explosives, vehicles,
[and] beheadings to
kill crusaders.”
However, police in Ottawa
and Mounties have
said there will be heightened
security measures
and it will be all hands on
deck for the celebration in
the nation’s capital, which
is expecting a crowd of
about half a million people.
The public safety minister’s
office stresses police
will be involved in celebrations
across the country
and it’s urging Canadians
to be vigilant, and stay up
to date with the latest security
requirements.
The terror threat in
Canada remains at medium.

Dear Friends,
I am delighted to extend warm greetings to everyone on the occasion of Parvasi Media Group’s launch of “The
Canadian Parvasi” on Canada’s 150 th Anniversary!
Your English weekly newspaper will be a valuable contribution to our society, because it facilitates mutual
understanding between the South Asian diaspora in Canada and other Canadians; and between different
linguistic groups.
This year, as we mark the 150 th anniversary of Canada and Ontario, events such as this one brings the
community together to celebrate pride and optimism in our country and our province, fosters a greater
understanding of our collective history, and unites us around a shared vision for the future.
Please accept my best wishes for your continued success!
Sincerely
Amrit Mangat
