Canada’s internal security is facing an unprecedented collapse as Khalistani-linked networks tighten their hold over British Columbia and Ontario, top intelligence sources have warned. Agencies tracking extremist and organised crime activity say the situation reflects a deep societal split among Indo-Canadian Sikhs — one that is now being exploited by foreign handlers, primarily the ISI, through drug cartels, charities, and political cover. According to top intelligence sources, the recent shooting at the residence of Channi Natt on October 27, 2025, is part of an ongoing turf war over narcotics routes and gurdwara-linked funding channels. The attack followed another shootout in Abbotsford on October 19 that left two Boyal gang associates dead — both incidents believed to be linked to Khalistan-affiliated criminal syndicates. These networks, sources say, have successfully merged drug trafficking, money laundering, and extremist financing operations. Intelligence sources further reveal that Nurinder Singh Parmar, son of Air India bomber Talwinder Singh Parmar, has re-emerged as a key figure in this nexus. Top sources claim Parmar is allegedly executing ISI-backed directives, managing money laundering operations through community charities, and transferring funds via crypto wallets to handlers in Pakistan. His activities, they warn, represent a revival of 1980s-era Khalistan terror models under the guise of charity and activism. Between June and October 2025, over 48 gang-related shootings were recorded across Surrey, Abbotsford, and Brampton — most of them linked to Khalistani-linked drug cartels, according to law enforcement sources. The murder of moderate Sikh businessman Darshan Saanhsi in Abbotsford in September 2025 has heightened fear within the Punjabi business community, which now faces threats and extortion from extremist-linked gangs. Top intelligence sources attribute the paralysis of Canada’s security ecosystem to systemic flaws in law enforcement and political complicity. The RCMP and Surrey Police Service, they note, remain overstretched and constrained by judicial leniency that limits preventive detention or deportation of foreign-linked offenders. Political interference, particularly from Punjabi-origin legislators, has further weakened response mechanisms. Sources also highlight the “complete silence” of leaders such as Jagmeet Singh and several local MLAs on Khalistani infiltration. Intelligence officials allege that both Liberal and NDP circles are under pressure not to designate Khalistan-linked entities as terrorist organisations to preserve coalition support in British Columbia. Leaked assessments from Surrey RCMP and CSIS in October 2025, sources say, show Pakistani-linked accounts financing social media propaganda glorifying slain extremists like Hardeep Singh Nijjar. According to top sources, ISI operatives are exploiting Canada’s liberal visa regime to rotate “religious volunteers” who act as couriers, fund movers, and recruiters — deepening the nexus between extremism and organized crime in Canada’s Sikh diaspora.
