Meanwhile, a targeted shooting in Surrey, B.C., has exposed deep fractures within the South Asian community, with the victim identified as Gurvikramjeet Singh Waring—also known as Sam Canada—a high-level figure in the designated terrorist group Bishnoi gang, allegedly involved in match-fixing and internal gang warfare.
