Vancouver

: But apart from Vancouver, Mississauga, Waterloo and Edmonton — the respective hometowns of Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan, Industry Minister Navdeep Bains, Tourism Minister Bardish Chagger and Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi — pride is probably felt deepest in the Indian state of Punjab, the spiritual home of Sikhs around the world, according to Toronto Star. This is everywhere, said Ek Ong Kaur Khalsa, program director of Sikhnet, an Espanola, New Mexico-based website that publishes Sikh-focused news. The decision to name four Sikhs won the new government praise from Burma to Australia to Trinidad and Tobago and many spots in between. This is just going viral. But the other is that Trudeau cabinet now contains more Sikh cabinet ministers than that of India. The obvious object of the world interest and envy is Sajjan, the Vancouver gang cop and decorated Afghan war veteran who is currently fending off a bombardment of interview requests as he prepares for his new responsibilities.
