Here's a positive point upon which to base the selling of Alberta's Oilsands. It's as if there occured (several thousand years ago) a huge oil spill. Now we come along and embark on a major project(s) designed to remove the oil from the soil/sand. This is a major environmental clean-up operation. The fact that we are able to then sell the oil we remove from the soil/sand is beside the point and to the benefit of our entire country and by extension other countries like the U.S. that choose to buy it.
Do you not see a doctor driving a cab. It all bull shit in canada. Only 1 in ten thousand are successfull. These canadian only want why skill and learned labourer to do their jobs in mall, factory and other thing. If few south asain (Indian are successful bussiness man do they hire any indian or south asian. PL reply
Canada is a land of opportunities. The only problem is there are only a few indians who think out of the box and create wealth for themselves. Most of them think the government is supposed to take care of them. It is a wonderful idea to study in canada and build a life there. Great place to live.
He is evidently a very proud Sikh, and justifiably so. He has achieved a stature that most people don't even dare to dream about! But if he feels there is no discrimination in Canada, why does he go by the name of Bob? Why not his Sikh name which will likely be different?

You should know that names (nick names) in Punjab are often very odd. In our village we have hitler (!!), stevan, Goldy, Sandy, Rony, Tony and so on.
Now if he is running with his name Bob, whats so bad in it. The only thing is he is not a Sikh but a punjabi as evident from his picture.

Indians always feel ashamed of their indian origin name in west and saying I feel proud to be an indian.
His real name will be something like balwinder or something in that tone.
Although congratualtions and best of luck for his future endeavours...a name can't affect that.
Sanjiv Sidhu - founder of i2 Technologies should qualify as the first Sikh billionaire in North America. Bob Dhillion could well be the second (maybe third...fourth...who knows) - A proud sikh
RE:The first Sikh billionaire in North America is Sanjiv Sidhu

How come his surname is Dhillon as some where in article it is written that "My parents, Steve Gupta and Ray Sahi are the Columbuses" and none of them seems to be a Sikh to me ??
