Despite Political Power Sikhs are racially discriminated in Canada

Toronto: A Sikh police officer in Canada had been denied a promotion into the senior ranks because of his race and cultural background, a media report has said.
Staff sergeant Baljiwan Sandhu, a decorated officer with 28 years of service on the Peel police force, had sought a promotion to inspector in 2013, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported.
The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario said that not only he had been denied a promotion but that Peel Regional Police did not consider the portion of work in diversity relations as “real police work.”
The tribunal found that the officer’s cultural and linguistic background resulted in his superiors routinely seconding him for assignments involving the South Asian community.
