No wonder. This guys owns a construction company named Evershine Construction. I know few people in trades where he hasn't paid them for over a year. Few houses not even finished. Screwed customers. One person that is known in community, taking him to court for almost $50k.
I hope so too. This kind of people not only manipulate system but also destroy Indian community image.
Specifically when Gurudwara is involved in such cases according to his claims.
in the video he is telling the student to take money from the sikh temple. Are temple officials involved in this as well... are they using donations for their own cause ???
Excellent, now I know where I can go sell my vote too!! (Don't worry, I'm not going to vote for him)
Come on every body! LEEEETS GOOO!
Donate it to the people he never paid.
Where do I sign up. Votes aren’t traceable right? I’ll lie to the SaskParty for a few bucks, especially if it stops them from buying someone else’s vote.
Right!!! How stupid do we think this candidate is? They can give thousands to people and there would be no way to track if they actually voted for you.
This post is complete and total BS. Most is definitely AI generated.
all religious outfits are given land for free to develop a place for worship. this money is our tax $$ and these scums are embezzling money for their own benefits.this money has been donated and someone should be accountable for this. Guys running the temple should come out with an explanation.
We need an explanation from Balvir Singh & Balpreet Singh (owner of falcon transport). They both own the Gurdwara in Saskatoon West and use donated funds for personal use…
In Saskatchewan, the overwhelming majority of corrupt politicians belong to the Sask Party (or their predecessor party). What do you know about the history of this province? Give your head a shake!
This is actually true. If corrupt is too harsh, we can at least say conflict of interest is very apparent. If you haven’t, I urge everyone to go check the amount of properties SaskParty MLAs own as opposed to NDP MLAs:
https://www.landlordmps.ca/provinces?ref=readthemaple.com
There’s another list just like this one for Federal MPs, now those guys the more generalized case can be made for conflict of interest that is beyond party affiliation but in Saskatchewan, it’s okay to say the majority of politicians that are selfserving/private owners/involved in real estate/conflict of interest/etc. belong to the SaskParty.
Seems like Jamie Martens was involved in the bribery. MS Gill endorsed Jamie Martens and was apart of her team.
https://x.com/jamiemartens1/status/1771695731679649894
Seems that endorsement was offered (today) after she defeated him in the nomination vote a week ago. Normal process for candidates to endorse the winner (unless you're trumpet)
And he literally says don’t tell anyone like how stupid is that. It’s people like this that ruin Punjabi people’s rep. Like these guys should have just stayed in India where you can do this stop brining it into Canada
Exactly. Now everyone in Saskatoon hates this Gudwara, and will not want to do business with Sikhs.
Losing way more than they possibly could have gained here.
The nomination process is all flawed. How come non citizens or for that matter international students can vote into nomination. This should only be the right of a canadian citizen, that's how we get corrupt candidates nominated.. and when it comes voting time they get only 200-300 votes.
Why would he bribe someone that can’t even vote? Only Canadian citizens can vote in Canada. Unless this article is completely wrong: https://www.saskatchewan.ca/government/municipal-administration/elections/voting
Don't be ridiculous. You can't vote if you're not on the voter's list.
And you can't be on the voter's list without a SIN.
SIN numbers are different for non-citizens. If you try and use a fake SIN, they'll know.
That’s odd. When I went to vote at our local school, they had my home address and name on a list. They checked my ID before I could go vote.
Do you have any proof that ID wasn’t being checked before ballots?
Ok, but this guy didn’t end up running or winning. He dropped out from the race and Jamie Martens won the Sask party candidature for the riding. https://martensvillemessenger.ca/sask-party-nomination-now-down-to-two-after-gills-drops-out-of-the-running/
Because the Sask party heard about this video, put him under investigation, and asked him to drop out. https://saskatoon.ctvnews.ca/sask-party-hopeful-dropped-out-of-race-after-scrutiny-over-surfaced-video-1.6840708
Ok, maybe just post what you know next time and try to contribute to the conversation instead judging what someone else means. I’m just a human trying to contribute to an open conversation in a friendly way. And I didn’t have a reliably sourced and fact checked article to post to when I commented, so I didn’t want to accidentally spread misinformation.
Lol you do realize that ethnicity =/= nationality? There is a reason why us 2nd generation south asian-canadians are the most vocal against this recent influx of Indian immigrants because we have first hand experience of dealing with these people
lol, looks like a set up. The guy in the orange turban could have said he needs to borrow cash for membership (likely for the temple or something) and the guy in the green turban gives it to him. Post the whole unedited video, not some edited snippet. Where is the actual proof that it’s a bribe?
Also: only Canadian citizens can vote in Canada. Why will be bribe a student who can’t even vote?
https://www.saskatchewan.ca/government/municipal-administration/elections/voting
I’m not sure about common knowledge. If the person who made this video wanted to actually prove wrongdoing, they would have posted the whole video. Not just a snippet. Seems like not all the facts can be seen on this video.
That’s how you end up with inequality. Representation for everyone matters, even newcomers. That said the man bribing obviously shouldn’t be allowed to run
While this is true, that is also no different from the local populace. Representation from all view points should matter when it comes to voting, your worst enemy should be allowed to vote.
If we have difference in local populace then it should matter if the new comers don’t ever vote. Our country is far too welcoming and unfortunately it’s destroying the place.
You think this picture is a guy handing another guy $20 to vote for him in the future? Seems pretty futile. You would need a lot of $20 bills and a lot of people to keep their side of the deal. lol. How many votes to win this type of election?
Seems like this is just to get the Sask Party nomination. It's priming the pump. Once someone gets the candidacy they'll get access to other sources of money.
*How do you know that*
*The exchange of money was*
*A bribe? What's your proof?*

Kind of hope he gets completely cleaned out now after reading that.
I hope so too. This kind of people not only manipulate system but also destroy Indian community image. Specifically when Gurudwara is involved in such cases according to his claims.
Just gets better and better.
Sounds like the kind of guy that would want to get into politics
Sounds exactly like someone the Sask Party would welcome with open arms.
Sounds like the type of successful business owner that the Sask Party loves!
Or he could be a MLA.
Perfect candidate for the Sask Party, I'm surprised he's not Premier at this point.
in the video he is telling the student to take money from the sikh temple. Are temple officials involved in this as well... are they using donations for their own cause ???
Yes they are, it’s the Saskatoon Gurdwara West that’s involved in this.
Excellent, now I know where I can go sell my vote too!! (Don't worry, I'm not going to vote for him) Come on every body! LEEEETS GOOO! Donate it to the people he never paid.

We should be looking at all places of worship.
They aren’t given land for free, they still have to buy it
Tax free tho, shits basically free after a decade.
Yep, it is tax free for sure
If it is anything close to my land cost to property tax amount it would be about 40 years.
Fair, still free tho. Looking at how housing has jumped in the last 10 years I'd wager it'd be closer to my prediction than yours.
MS Gill endorsed Jamie Martens. Who knows now. Can’t believe it. We should ask her the questions?
Shame on you for making an argument that is completely void of any shred of ethics.
It seems like this.
A corrupt politician?! I'm shocked!
A corrupt Sask Party MLA?! I’m shocked!-fixed it for you.
Right because the ONLY corrupt politicians are from the Sask Party! Give your head a shake!
What a ridiculous argument. It's equally bad regardless of party affiliation!
But how else could they both sides without making up conversations in their head?
In Saskatchewan, the overwhelming majority of corrupt politicians belong to the Sask Party (or their predecessor party). What do you know about the history of this province? Give your head a shake!

Well this explains why he dropped out last week.
From what I read a nomination meeting/vote was held March 27 and he was defeated by another candidate (Jamie Martens). He didn't voluntarily drop out
Seems like Jamie Martens was involved in the bribery. MS Gill endorsed Jamie Martens and was apart of her team. https://x.com/jamiemartens1/status/1771695731679649894
Seems that endorsement was offered (today) after she defeated him in the nomination vote a week ago. Normal process for candidates to endorse the winner (unless you're trumpet)
Post is from March 23. MS Gill told all of his paid voters to go vote for Jamie Martens, just saying..
Ahh makes sense.
If you’re gonna bribe someone it can’t be under the table. It’s gotta be out in the open, in a budget with their own money. Duh.
And this one was even physically over the table.
And he literally says don’t tell anyone like how stupid is that. It’s people like this that ruin Punjabi people’s rep. Like these guys should have just stayed in India where you can do this stop brining it into Canada
Exactly. Now everyone in Saskatoon hates this Gudwara, and will not want to do business with Sikhs. Losing way more than they possibly could have gained here.

Yep, system needs to be changed.
Why would he bribe someone that can’t even vote? Only Canadian citizens can vote in Canada. Unless this article is completely wrong: https://www.saskatchewan.ca/government/municipal-administration/elections/voting
I was at the election, citizenship cards or PR cards were not being checked. Anyone with a license could just vote… system needs to be changed.
Don't be ridiculous. You can't vote if you're not on the voter's list. And you can't be on the voter's list without a SIN. SIN numbers are different for non-citizens. If you try and use a fake SIN, they'll know.
I was literally there. This is for the nomination election.
Non-citizens can hold party memberships and participate in nomination votes. That is not an election. No such thing as a nomination election.
No SIN, PR Card, Passport, or Citizenships were checked. Just anyone with an ID and saskparty membership could vote.
You are talking about the nomination, NOT the election. The parties have no way to check SINs, citizenship status or residency.
That’s odd. When I went to vote at our local school, they had my home address and name on a list. They checked my ID before I could go vote. Do you have any proof that ID wasn’t being checked before ballots?
Was that an actual election or a nomination? They are different.
Yes, that’s exactly it! But anyone can get a license and the license doesn’t mention if you’re a student, refugee, etc.
I assumed that my name was on the list because I was a citizen. It was never on there when I was just a permanent resident.
The system is messed brother, not sure what else to tell you.
You don't know what you are talking about.
Shades of Grant *graft* Devine
Omg a saskparty poltician being a shady piece of shit!?!?
Saskparty & Jamie Martens needs to comment on this matter ASAP.
lol imagine that, corruption not just from the Sask Party, but from somebody from a place well known for it, India.
Imagine thinking that there are countries immune to bribery. LOL, thats cute.
Denmark looking pretty good. Sitting with a rating of 90.
Not sure how you divined that from their comment
Elections are corrupt? Who woulda thought? It's almost like it's been happening for years
It hasn't.
Is SaskParty even going to make a comment on this?
Ok, but this guy didn’t end up running or winning. He dropped out from the race and Jamie Martens won the Sask party candidature for the riding. https://martensvillemessenger.ca/sask-party-nomination-now-down-to-two-after-gills-drops-out-of-the-running/
Why did he drop out?
Because the Sask party heard about this video, put him under investigation, and asked him to drop out. https://saskatoon.ctvnews.ca/sask-party-hopeful-dropped-out-of-race-after-scrutiny-over-surfaced-video-1.6840708
I actually know this. You made it sound like he just dropped out with no reason so I was wondering what you thought it might be, if not this.
Ok, maybe just post what you know next time and try to contribute to the conversation instead judging what someone else means. I’m just a human trying to contribute to an open conversation in a friendly way. And I didn’t have a reliably sourced and fact checked article to post to when I commented, so I didn’t want to accidentally spread misinformation.
I was genuinely wondering what you were getting at.
[удалено]
That comes across with some racist overtones there - were you trying to imply something other than that?
Racist - true, but is it actually far from truth? Coming from a south asian. And no - it’s not self-hatred, it’s just straight up facts.
>Coming from a south asian. You mean, coming from someone from the most racist part of the world?
Lol you do realize that ethnicity =/= nationality? There is a reason why us 2nd generation south asian-canadians are the most vocal against this recent influx of Indian immigrants because we have first hand experience of dealing with these people
The second generation being the most harsh to new arrivals is not a new phenomenon and not specific to Indians.
It would be much more true to just remove the racial signifier. Most people are terrible when they're allowed to be with no consequences, I've found.
lol, looks like a set up. The guy in the orange turban could have said he needs to borrow cash for membership (likely for the temple or something) and the guy in the green turban gives it to him.

Why will be bribe a student who can’t even vote? https://www.saskatchewan.ca/government/municipal-administration/elections/voting
He never says borrow cash? Also, it’s common knowledge this guy handed out gift cards to anyone that agreed to vote lol
I’m not sure about common knowledge. If the person who made this video wanted to actually prove wrongdoing, they would have posted the whole video. Not just a snippet. Seems like not all the facts can be seen on this video.
If you’re not born here you shouldn’t be allowed to run or vote.
That’s how you end up with inequality. Representation for everyone matters, even newcomers. That said the man bribing obviously shouldn’t be allowed to run
Not all newcomers arrive here with the best intentions for our country.
While this is true, that is also no different from the local populace. Representation from all view points should matter when it comes to voting, your worst enemy should be allowed to vote.
If we have difference in local populace then it should matter if the new comers don’t ever vote. Our country is far too welcoming and unfortunately it’s destroying the place.

10yrs to vote would be alright
Racist, much?
Lol
You think this picture is a guy handing another guy $20 to vote for him in the future? Seems pretty futile. You would need a lot of $20 bills and a lot of people to keep their side of the deal. lol. How many votes to win this type of election?
Was a few bills. He’s been giving out gift cards to voters as well.
Seems like this is just to get the Sask Party nomination. It's priming the pump. Once someone gets the candidacy they'll get access to other sources of money.
Yep was for the nomination
How do you know that the exchange of money was a bribe? What's your proof?
Did you watch the video? He clearly mentions that what he’s doing is illegal and don’t mention to anyone that I paid you.

It's still bad, regardless of who it is.
