Amarjeet Singh Sidhu and Justin Trudeau

Komagata Maru incident: So as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau concluded his formal apology Wednesday for the Komagata Maru incident of 1914, Amarjeet Singh Sidhu, who had travelled from outside Toronto to watch the event, could not restrain himself, according to Brandon Sun. With a turban proudly on his head and a chest full of medals for his Canadian community service, he rose to his feet in the public gallery of the House of Commons and shouted the phrase for all to hear. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian Wyld OTTAWA - There a Punjabi phrase shouted to give thanks for victories: the truth will always prevail. And the hundreds of Indo-Canadians in attendance Wednesday for the historic moment roared back their thanks in union. "This is a country for people who bring prosperity to be part of the mainstream, work together, play together, pray together," Sidhu said afterwards. In 1914, the Canadian government turned away most of the passengers of the Japanese steamship Komagata Maru, nearly all Sikhs, who'd hoped to start a new life in Canada. It wasn't always that way.
