Four Sikh-Canadians Elected To Ontario Legislature:
Two Are Part Of New Conservative Government
NEWS REPORT
Four Sikh-Canadian politicians were elected as Members of the Ontario Parliament (‘MPP’s) on Thursday, June 7, 2018, when Doug Ford led the Progressive Conservative (‘PC’) Party to victory and will shortly form the new government, having ousted the governing provincial Liberals, which has now lost its official party status because of its poor showing with a mere 7 MPPs.
Two Sikh-Canadian MPPs will be part of the new PC Ontario government, out of a total 76 PC MPPs.
The New Democratic Party of Ontario (‘NDP’) has secured itself as the Official Opposition under the leadership of Andrea Horwath.
Two of the 40 new NDP MPPs are Sikh-Canadian politicians, Including Gurratan Singh, brother of the national NDP leader, Jagmeet Singh.

It would be great to see the Sikh female politicians wearing the Sikh Dastaar or 'cotton crown' and use their 'KAUR' names.
