TORONTO: Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Monday that his new government unequivocally stands against terrorism, as hundreds gathered at memorials across Canada dedicated to the victims of the bombing of Air India flight 182, the Kanishka, by Khalistani extremists.

In a message released by the Prime Minister's office, Carney said, "Canada will continue to work with our allies and partners, at home and around the world, to better detect, prevent, and respond to the threat of terrorism and violent extremism. It is a sombre reminder of our commitment to fight violent extremism and keep Canadians safe."
