Okay, so apparently, a lot of Canadians are straight-up clueless about the Air India bombing, which was, like, the deadliest terrorist attack in Canadian history. A new poll says most ppl don't even know it happened
TL:DR
Okay, so apparently, a lot of Canadians are straight-up clueless about the Air India bombing, which was, like, the deadliest terrorist attack in Canadian history. A new poll says most ppl don't even know it happened, and even fewer think it's been treated like a real tragedy. Should it be taught in schools? Should there be a museum exhibit? Canada's tryna figure it out, fr fr.
The Deets
Yo, fam, lemme drop some truth on ya. Turns out, a recent poll just spilled the tea: a whole lotta Canadians are seriously lacking when it comes to the Air India bombing. Like, we're talking "never even heard of it" levels of cluelessness. And that's kinda sus, considering it was a major L for Canada back in the day.
More than half of Canadians are feeling like the Air India bombing hasn't been given the respect it deserves as a national tragedy. When asked about the deadliest attack in Canadian history, a big chunk of ppl blanked or named something else. The poll also showed that way too many Canadians think there's a whole lot of misinformation surrounding the bombing. 🚩
But it's not all doom and gloom. Most Canadians actually vibe with the idea of putting up an exhibit about the bombing at the Canadian Museum of History. They also think it should be a mandatory subject in school. Maybe then the youngins will finally know what went down. 🤷♀️
There's also been some drama around Khalistan supporters showing up at memorial events. People are split on whether it's appropriate or just straight-up disrespectful. 😬
So, to recap: Canada's got some catching up to do when it comes to recognizing the Air India bombing. Are ppl sleeping on this? Should we wake 'em up with some knowledge bombs? 🤔
Poll was conducted between June 13 and June 15, 2025, surveyed 1,607 Canadian adults.
