  1. It is well known that Sikhs have taken over much of the drug trade in Missisauga area. You can even find articles in canadian newspapers on this phenomenon. And why call them ‘Punjabis’? That is same as Britain calling grooming gangs “asian’ when in fact they are 100% Muslim (and some Sikh). Likewise this drug trade is nearly 100% Jat Sikh (not even non-Jats).
