HuffPost Canada Celebrates Fifth Anniversary With Its Top Contributors

HUFFINGTON POST CANADA

 

 

 

 

 

So many Canadians have been a part of The Huffington Post Canada since we launched in May 2011. Thank you for reading, sharing and engaging with us.

For our fifth anniversary, we highlight the people who informed, entertained, inspired and empowered us all. Here are the two Sikh-Canadians amongst the HuffPost 50.

ENTERTAIN — Jus Reign , Social Media Creator

If you’ve got six seconds, that’s all Vine comedian and social media celebrity Jus Reign needs to get a gut-busting laugh.

Real name Jasmeet Singh, his hilarious observations on race and the subcontinent’s culture have also earned Jasmeet one of the most devoted Snapchat fan bases in Canada - his one million-plus Vine followers and almost 701,000 YouTube followers are nothing to sneeze at it either.

Recently, Jasmeet used his massive fan base for good, when he took a stand against rapper Azealia Banks’ anti-South Asian remarks. He changed his Twitter name, and retweeted selfies tagged #curryscentedbitch by women who reclaimed the derogatory term.

ENTERTAIN — Superwoman, YouTube Star

Did you know Superwoman hails from Scarborough, Ontario? Her more than eight million YouTube subscribers do.

Superwoman’s not-so-secret identity, Lilly Singh, is one of Canada’s most popular YouTubers.

From impersonations of her parents to singing about city pride in Toronto’s subways, Lilly’s viral videos have made her one of the brightest stars online.

Time Magazine placed her alongside Barack Obama and Kim Kardashian as one of the top 30 influential people on the Internet.
