Canada’s new government "unequivocally" stands against terrorism, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Monday and described the Air India Flight 182 Kanishka bombing terror attack 40 years ago as the "deadliest attack in our country’s history." The Montreal-London-New Delhi Air India 'Kanishka' Flight 182 exploded 45 minutes before it was supposed to land at UK's Heathrow Airport on June 23, 1985, due to a bomb planted by Canada-based terrorists, killing all 329 people on board. At least 280 were Canadians, with most of them of Indian descent.
“Forty years ago, innocent civilians, including 268 Canadians, were killed in the bombing of Air India Flight 182. This terrorist attack remains the deadliest attack in our country’s history – one we must never forget," the prime minister said in a statement. The National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism was first observed on June 23, 2005, with the day chosen to coincide with the anniversary of the Kanishka tragedy.Carney's victory in the parliamentary election in March triggered hopes for a reset of India-Canada relations.
