00:00:00.000the 111 who were deported are the worst of the worst so think about that they were so bad that
00:00:06.080even with what a lot of canadians feel are lenient justice system and bending over backwards to make
00:00:11.440sure they're okay and they have a second chance there was 111 that they had to get deported that
00:00:16.960even the canadian justicism couldn't deal with and couldn't stomach according to stats canada
00:00:27.680seven percent of our population are south asian 99 of which are law-abiding citizens who never0.99
00:00:34.480commit any crimes but it's the one percent that are causing problems for police forces0.89
00:00:39.600across canada to talk more about it thrilled to be joined by mike wicks and mike how are you i'm
00:00:43.680good this is a tough topic it is you know it's it's weird for two white guys to sit here and
00:00:48.480have a discussion about uh extortion uh you know gangs that are south asian uh on the rise but
00:00:56.880there is no denying it and now it has become a matter of fact among our police forces
00:01:02.320our national police forces and the cbsa uh at large i what did i read 111 people were linked
00:01:09.280to extortion yeah um but the networks uh operate across orders enforcement collides with deeper
00:01:16.480allegation the bishnoi group may act for india while ottawa rebuilds ties with new delhi it is
00:01:22.560a really good point now the bishnoi gang that you reference cbc news did an in-depth story
00:01:28.800last week they obtained a letter the bishnoi gang actually sent a letter to canada's police
00:01:35.360forces and defense minister claiming they have 5 000 gang members and more guns than the police
00:01:42.080what they say read this to me we are giving you a written warning and challenge we are indian gang
00:01:48.080canada has no guts to stop us is that clear of course it's filled with grammatical and spelling
00:01:53.900errors i'm reading it as is we will rule in canada now no one can stop us we are very powerful
00:01:59.500and they that letter was obtained by cbc news and it's the abbotsford police force of surrey bc
00:02:05.940vancouver to toronto peel region all the major cities who have issues with extortion or south
00:02:11.920asian gangs are now aware of this it's it's pretty brazen to send a note to authority i dare you to
00:02:18.840stop us that's what they're saying not only that but what we're seeing over the last certainly
00:02:23.860over the last year and a half by the way uh the bishop gang we're not just throwing it out there
00:02:28.700no they've actually been uh i guess they've been deemed a terrorist organization by the canada by
00:02:35.120the federal government yeah it's that much of a concern but what we've seen over the last year
00:02:39.580is a rise in extortion yes it's so weird because you know what we're hearing is extortion is down
00:02:46.140uh by two-thirds meanwhile it's up 10 from last year how is that possible i don't know
00:02:52.780a very quick favor before we continue a large percentage of you who watch or listen to tpl
00:02:59.020media every week aren't subscribed yet our simple commitment to you is that if you find value there
00:03:05.500if these discussions make you think if you want our uncensored debates deeper dives and extended
00:03:12.220sit downs head over to tplmedia.ca and subscribe there directly it takes just five seconds cost
00:03:19.340nothing keeps you informed so thank you now back to the show and it's targeting south asian trucking
00:03:26.460firms restaurants jewelers home builders in peel surrey bc abbotsford bc and then edmonton and
00:03:33.980what breaks my heart is i think about a family restaurant and the people that own it that's
00:03:39.660probably the mom and dad and kids working their butts off every day to run a business they're
00:03:45.500you know not everyone i mean this is the problem now you have the far right who are just slapping
00:03:50.460labels on every south asian in the country when 99 of them don't even ever had a parking ticket
00:03:56.300or speeding ticket and these gangs are basically like the extortion the bullying daring people to
00:04:03.420stop them so they're preying on the law-abiding south asian people to pay them basically protection
00:04:10.940money uh i just spent some time in the west and uh spent a couple of days in surrey yes uh two
00:04:16.540of the best days i had out west i will tell you that and and the reason for it was the community
00:04:21.100who who by the way they this is disturbing to that community as well how could it not be the
00:04:27.820a Sikh community in Abbotsford, in Surrey, they feel this on par and more so than we ever will
00:04:35.860because there's a small group of people representing them very badly. They are the
00:04:41.700victims first in these scenarios. Most of this extortion, most of this interplay of fighting
00:04:47.680among the tow trucks and shipping companies, it's within their own community. So it's a threat first
00:04:54.500and foremost to that community and then to see the rest of the nation start to identify groups
00:04:59.940in that community as terrorist groups it feels terrible to that community and mike we have done
00:05:06.040multiple crime shows on this network and the one thing that comes up are the random houses in
00:05:12.020suburban uh you know communities and yeah and just neighborhoods and it's the house of the people
00:05:18.160maybe from one of these businesses being shot at at two or three in the morning with the videos that
00:05:23.580we're hearing the stories that they have to be videotaped to prove they did it and they're
00:05:27.020shooting the cars and at the house is a warning to pay up and that's happening across the country
00:05:31.560not only that but they post the videos yes uh you mentioned uh you saw and i have as well uh
00:05:37.640epa muskoka yes a group of young uh south asian guys show up uh with automatic weapons just firing
00:05:44.100willy-nilly into the woods with glee in their heart it's tough to watch well they film it and
00:05:49.940it's not secret they put it out there yeah with high-end cars 150 200 000 cars shot like music
00:05:56.980videos exactly with production value and like hey look at us like the letter says you can't stop us
00:06:03.340here we are that is it's so brazen uh the shooting at homes is another good example you know you might
00:06:09.460be shooting at a home you shoot at the garage you don't know who's in that garage you don't know
00:06:13.740where that bullet by the way if you've ever shot a weapon have you ever shot a weapon i have yes i
00:06:18.860have a few times at a gun range how easy is it to hit that target it's not easy no it's incredibly
00:06:25.120difficult and the one thing a bullet doesn't know to stop like the velocity it goes through the
00:06:31.620window of a house it's not going to say oh there's an innocent person i'll stop there's ricochet
00:06:36.420factor yeah absolutely it could it's my concern mike is someone who got up late at night what
00:06:44.620I need some water. Go to the bathroom. Insomnia. Like whatever reason, and that two and three in
00:06:50.520the morning when you're hearing the stories that they're shooting up the house, some innocent
00:06:54.660person will be hit. It's bound to happen, Mike. Here's some terrifying numbers. Arrests in Peel
00:07:00.580in May 2026, extortion investigation. 17 people were arrested. 29th September 2025, the Bishnoi
00:07:07.940gang was listed as a terrorist entity. So just one year later, they're making 17 arrests
00:07:13.560in more extortion. So, you know, 10% or 29 per 100,000 are extorted. That's still three times
00:07:23.500the 2015 rate of 9%. So it is obviously on the rise. The reality is that the police are now
00:07:37.740faced with a very new challenge on the streets it's not terrorism at a secretive level behind
00:07:44.800closed doors no with a potential bomb threat which is terrible but this is out on the streets
00:07:50.340every day we have terrorism on our streets every day acting in terroristic ways and they can access
00:07:57.100the videos like they're going to youtube watch a movie clip that's how crazy it is and it's gotten
00:08:02.240to the point where the police services and the municipalities working with the cbsa they've
00:08:07.060removed 111 people linked to extortions in canada as of september 2026 now years ago it was unheard
00:08:15.500of that you think that the criminal element was to the point we'd have to um have them removed
00:08:20.720and deported from the country but unfortunately for the government they're seeing the crimes
00:08:26.600they're seeing the repeat crimes and they basically have no option but to deport the people
00:08:33.100and living in canada is a privilege for the 40 million people who desire to live here and want
00:08:38.060to make their life here i think the government's doing the right thing deporting the repeat
00:08:41.660criminals to get them out of canadian society uh it's interesting this is uh the immigration
00:08:50.860actually the immigration law is getting in the way of frankly uh deporting criminals you know
00:08:59.180The immigration process and the courts are now allowing people to stay or serve a lesser sentence, a reduced sentence, so that it doesn't affect their immigration.
00:09:08.740So not only do we experience this terrorism on the streets and we've identified it and they've been brazen about it, but also we're in a scenario where our own system is encouraging us to keep them here.
00:09:23.440so having said that the 111 who were deported are the worst of the worst so think about that they
00:09:30.480were so bad that even with what a lot of canadians feel are lenient justice system and bending over
00:09:35.920backwards to make sure they're okay and they have a second chance there was 111 there was 111 that
00:09:41.040they had to get deported that even the canadian justicism couldn't deal with and couldn't stomach
00:09:46.160can you imagine 110 people in this room right now it would fill the room well of course it would
00:14:49.480We've nailed it down to a very specific, very minor sliver of that society that is causing a huge amount of problems in cities across Canada.

00:15:16.980So if you're in a neighborhood right now, Mike, and you're in Edmonton or Brampton slash Mississauga, Peel region, or Richmond, B.C., and this gang has hired a teenager to drive around in probably a stolen car with a gun that's been smuggled from the U.S. to shoot at a house or a car to intimidate them for extortion reasons, how are we to know that these teenagers are shooting at the right house and picking the right victims?
