June 23, 2023 marked the 38th anniversary of the deadliest terror attack on Canadian citizens in the country’s history.

But a new poll has revealed Canadians know little about the National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Terrorism and the Air India bombings it was created to honour.

On June 23, 1985, 329 passengers and crew, 268 of them Canadians, were killed when a bomb went off on Air India Flight 182. A second bomb killed two baggage handlers in Japan. Both attacks were tied to a B.C.-based terrorist group seeking an independent Sikh state in India.

As Global's Paul Johnson reports, a new poll suggests people are woefully ignorant about the worst mass murder in our country's history.
