^ Ok, so I had to wonder what the Sikh population in New Brunswick would be if there's only a couple dozen people in a parade in a Sikh hot bed of that province.
And to my surprise the Sikh population in the Atlantic provinces is measured in not the tens of thousands, or even thousands...or even hundreds, but indeed in the dozens only.
There's more Sikhs in Manitoba than in Canada east of Ontario in fact.
Which is surprising to me especially since the largest religion in BC outside of Christianity is Sikhism.
Islamic faith representation isn't much better in the east coast, but the demographic seems to be slowly growing there at least.
Although, now that I think about it, I did read in Winnipeg Free Press a couple weeks ago that there's a lot of hate speech, vandalism and crime against Muslims in Newfoundland but it's not taken very seriously by police there sadly.
I'll see if I can find it...

Newfoundland Muslims make up a tenth of a single percent of the Canadian Muslim population but seem to take a disproportionally large portion of Islam directed abuse in the country.
