  Jaggi Singh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jaggi Singh (born 1971 in Toronto) is one of Canada's most outspoken activists in the anti-globalization movement.
The article incorrectly spoke of Singh being Muslim (he was born to a Sikh father and Catholic mother), prone to violence (he is a self-avowed pacifist), that he was proficient in firearms and received training from Kazi Toure, and that the teddybear-catapault had instead been launching molotov cocktails.
Singh also took part in a protest of Immigration Minister Monte Solberg's speech at the annual meeting of Citizens for Public Justice in 2006, demanding a moratorium on all public deportations.

Jaggi finds that the writer of the bir does not seem to be a good scribe or to have a good knowledge of the Gurmukhi script or the Punjabi language.[13] Therefore, it is not at all possible to connect this bir with Bhai Sahib.
Jaggi opines that the age of the paper and the character of words and writing show that it could not have been compiled earlier than a hundred years after the demise of the Tenth Guru.
Jaggi feels that the condition of the paper, shape of letters, writing, etc., suggest that it is a production of the 19th century.
