I don't know about Ontario but in BC the Sikh community for the most part has steadfastly refused to integrate into Canadian Society in a way that other races and cultures have in just a generation or two.
So the question here is, when does what some people perceive as the truth turn into racism?
They don't call it "Bramladesh" for nothing...
Strange, because until this article I never even knew that Brampton was becoming a Sikh enclave. I guess we were to busy listening to all the Surrey jokes being bandied about to pay attention to the rest of Canada.

The transformation of Brampton is quite stunning. All of my wife's family has moved from Brampton(they are Newfoundlanders) in recent years. The culture sure has changed.
Here's a longer article on the story.

That's only half true. The first and second generation kids are perfectly bilingual despite keeping their parents religion and culture.
But I know exactly what this looks like. There people at my workplace who, despite being in Canada longer than I've existed, can still barely speak a word of English.

Yep. I know a few Indians here and they've integrated quite fine. As have Chinese and other recent immigrants. Some don't, however. What makes them any worse than some other anti-social groups that were born here?

My bosses are from India... Very nice people, own a couple of businesses in Vancouver as well, doing interesting things to make the local neighbourhood here happy. At first there was that slight racist bump in the road, but people warmed up heavily when they started to notice what the new management was doing...
They've selflessly made a crippled convenience store in the poor neighbourhood of town into the most interesting place in town. Planning on possibly opening an Indian restaurant next door too! I'm not sure why they chose here, of all places, when they already have far more successful and larger shops in Vancouver... But I'm thankful they decided to come to town. Friendly, funny, and they swear almost as much as I do! And they speak perfect English. Co-worker from the hectic 7/11 near a bar (she's a warrior) also from India, but has much weaker English. Glad she's come to a much more peaceful place to work.
While absolutely everyone is now very friendly (much more than I could have hoped), extended customer support is a 9 iron club, Hurray for small business!

Same--one of the most civic-minded and proud Canadians I know is a Sikh. He volunteers a lot of time to bringing Sikh culture and western culture together.
That said, there was a time when Surrey ahd to send in the police to break up brawls at the temples, and Kalistan terrorists were active here. Thankfully, their influence appears to have waned over the last 20 years.
Definitely. No more Khalistani nationalists is a big improvement.
Actually they're still here. BC has a stronger presence of the Khalistan movement than Punjab does itself. That's one reason it's quiet here - no support back home. But Ripudaman Singh Malik and his ilk haven't gone anywhere. When we had a scandal just a few years back with premier Gordo proudly riding in a Visaki parade that had floats honoring the "martyrs" you know the movement is still alive and mainstream pols either don't have a clue or don't care.

What does integrate mean? Not wear turbans? There are plenty Sikhs who have integrated very well. Speak good English, participate in society, etc. Unfortunately, as with the Chinese. we flooded the place with so many at once that they developed their own enclaves where they don't have to integrate at all.
I think saying they've for the most part refused to integrate is way overstating it tho.
