    Punjabi Canadians

    Punjabi refers to an ethnicity as well as a language. In 1947, British India (including Punjab) was partitioned into Pakistan and India. As such, Punjabi Canadians trace their roots to either Indian or Pakistani Punjab. Regional origins shape differences in language, faith and customs across the community. Dominant Punjabi Canadian narratives are centred around Sikh, Indian-origin Punjabis. However, Punjabi Canadians from Pakistan form a smaller but distinct part of the broader Punjabi Canadian community. (See Pakistani Canadians.) According to the 2021 Canadian census, 279,950 Canadians reported being of Punjabi ethnic or cultural origin. Meanwhile, 942,165 Canadians reported having knowledge of the Punjabi language. Moreover, 81.4 per cent of Punjabi Canadians identify as Sikh. Meanwhile, 6.9 per cent identify as Hindu and 6.8 per cent are Muslim. Notable Punjabi Canadians include Ujjal Dosanjh, Jagmeet Singh, Karan Aujla, AP Dhillon, Lilly Singh and Rupi Kaur.

    Quebec City Mosque Shooting

The gunman pleaded guilty to six counts of first-degree murder and six counts of attempted murder.

    Queen Anne

    Anne, Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland from 1702 to 1707, Queen of Great Britain and Ireland from 1707 to 1714 (born 6 February 1665; died 1 August 1714 in London, United Kingdom). Anne’s reign was dominated by the War of the Spanish Succession (Queen Anne’s War), which resulted in France ceding the Hudson Bay watershed, Acadia (New Brunswick and Nova Scotia) and Newfoundland to Great Britain under the Treaty of Utrecht. In 1710, Anne received Indigenous leaders known as the Four Kings of Canada, setting precedents for the modern relationship between Indigenous peoples and the Crown. The death of Anne’s last surviving child, William, resulted in the passage of the 1701 of Act of Settlement, which determines the royal line of succession in the United Kingdom, Canada and the other 13 Commonwealth realms to the present day.
