Summary

It’s taken five days but our federal government and the RCMP now admit they are investigating a possible threat against Air India flights with Canadian connections. Over the weekend, a video started circulating on social media warning people not to fly on Air India on November 19th. That prompted the Indian government to ask Canada to step up its security. The group Sikhs for Justice denies its video is a threat saying it’s just a boycott.
